Two Glendale entrepreneurs want to crowd-source home-cooked meals and have created an online service to connect neighborhood cooks with busy eaters, although the technology they use to connect users is currently a step ahead of state legislation that would regulate the new industry. Earlier this year, Glendale residents Ani Torosyan and Susanna Saponjyan co-founded DishDivvy, a website, and soon an online app, that lets users purchase meals prepared in the home kitchens of neighborhood cooks. Torosyan has connected with state and local officials to push support for legislation. DishDivvy helps home cooks price their meal offerings so that they receive a net earning of about $30 an hour. The platform takes 15% for marketing fees, and the cooks keep 85%, according to Torosyan.
