Everything you need to start your Local Kindness business.
Your website, bookings, payments and operating tools are ready for you. They run in your web browser — there is no app to download. You bring the local knowledge and decide how your business grows.
What's included
- Your suburb website. Choose a business name and a photo for it. The photo doesn't have to be of you, and you don't have to use your personal name. Add your services and prices; Local Kindness hosts the site.
- Services you choose. Bins In/Out, Dinner for Two and Kindness Delivery are three ideas to consider. You decide what to offer and can add your own services.
- Bookings you can plan for. Customers book and pay online. Every job is booked at least 40 hours before it begins, so you can see what's coming.
- Local suppliers, set up once. Agree with a florist, baker or other supplier on what they'll provide and the price. Local Kindness then sends each relevant order to them in writing and arranges their payment before the job. Clear orders and reliable payment make you the kind of customer they'll welcome. You don't have to place or pay for each order yourself.
- Your payment. Once the job is done, you mark it complete. Your share is released after the scheduled start time has passed.
- Help getting started. Launch materials, a 30-day introduction and ongoing improvements to the platform.
Clear and predictable costs

Cancel any time. No lock-in.
Once supplier and worker costs for a job are paid, you keep 90% of what remains. Local Kindness keeps 10%.
For example — a $58 Kindness Delivery:
If you arrange an $18 deal with your florist and an $18 deal with your bakery:
Customer pays: $58
Florist: $18
Bakery: $18
Stripe fee: $1.29
Remaining: $20.71
You keep: $18.64
Local Kindness keeps: $2.07
We suggest aiming to keep around $15–$20 from each order you complete. Your time is valuable, so make sure every job is worth doing.
Your services are yours to choose
Every Location offers a Local Kindness Delivery — but what you deliver is up to you.
Flowers and something from the local bakery. Dinner from a favourite local restaurant. A gift hamper. Local produce. Something completely different.
You know your area. You choose what people will love.
The other starter services are optional. Keep them, remove them, change them or add services of your own.
Your Location. Your business. Our support.
