How do I apply to Bamboo?
Applying takes minutes, and it's free.
Step 1 — Tell us about your restaurant
Go to get.bambookitchens.io and share your name, email, restaurant name, and address. This should be the address of the kitchen that will actually fulfill your Bamboo orders — where delivery drivers pick up — even if you run a ghost or dark kitchen with no public-facing storefront.
Step 2 — Choose your brands
Browse Bamboo's full brand portfolio and select the ones you'd like to fulfill. Consider ingredient overlap with what you already stock, your kitchen's strengths, and which dayparts you want to cover. Most operators start with 2–4 brands and add more later.
Step 3 — Review the menu for each brand
For each brand you selected, you'll review its full menu and select the items your kitchen can fulfill. You need to confirm at least 10 mains and sides per brand — drinks, sauces, and add-ons don't count toward that minimum. A "Select all" option is available if you're confident you can fulfill the whole menu.
Step 4 — Add your location details
Next, add the details for your location: your phone number and business type, your hours of operation for each day, any team members who'll need access to the Bamboo app, notes for delivery drivers, and your printer setup. Bamboo ships you a tablet and a printer, both free, as separate shipments. If you'd rather use your own printer, you can connect it instead, as long as it's a supported model — see Connecting your printer for the full list.
Step 5 — Review and submit
Review your details, confirm you agree to Bamboo's Brand Standards, and let us know how you'd like to hear from us. Once you submit, your application goes straight to our team — this kicks off your onboarding.
Step 6 — Confirmation
Our team reviews every application within 1–2 business days. Once approved, you'll get a welcome email — that's where you'll schedule your kickoff call and see what's next.
How long does it take to go live?
Most kitchens go live within two to three weeks of applying. The exact go-live date is yours to choose and depends on when your kitchen and staff are ready.
What does it cost, and how does pay work?
Signing up and onboarding are free, and all hardware is covered — the tablet and printer ship at no cost. You get paid for every order you fulfill: the delivery platforms' payouts for your orders come to you, and Bamboo keeps a small commission on the order.
What if I have questions while applying?
You can chat with live support at any stage of the application, right on the page — or reach out any time at [email protected].
Can I make changes after I submit?
Once submitted, you can't edit the application directly. Contact our team and we'll update your details on your behalf.
