Frequently Asked Questions — For Media
What exactly is Cook-iQ?
↓
Cook-iQ is an AI-powered marketplace where professional chefs and culinary creators publish, sell, and market their digital cookbooks. Buyers can search by cuisine, diet, skill level, or ingredient and get AI-personalized recommendations. Chefs keep 80% of every sale and get automated marketing tools built into their dashboard.
How is Cook-iQ different from Amazon KDP or Shopify?
↓
Amazon KDP is designed for physical books and gives authors 35-70% royalties with no customer relationship. Shopify is a general ecommerce platform requiring significant setup, monthly fees, and third-party apps for marketing. Cook-iQ is purpose-built for food creators — higher revenue share, AI marketing tools included, food-specific search and discovery, and a community of food lovers as the built-in audience.
What does the AI do exactly?
↓
Cook-iQ's AI serves two groups. For buyers: personalized cookbook recommendations based on cuisine preference, dietary needs, skill level, and mood. For chefs: automated generation of product descriptions, launch emails, social media posts, press releases, podcast pitches, and marketing campaigns — all based on the cookbook content.
How do chefs get paid?
↓
Cook-iQ uses Stripe for all payments. Chefs connect their Stripe account and receive direct payouts. The platform takes a flat 20% commission per sale — no monthly fees, no subscriptions.
Who is Cook-iQ for?
↓
Chefs of all kinds — Michelin-starred professionals, food bloggers, culinary school graduates, home cook experts, nutritionists, pastry chefs, and anyone with culinary knowledge worth sharing. On the buyer side: food enthusiasts, home cooks, aspiring chefs, and anyone who wants to learn from real professional chefs rather than generic recipe sites.
Is Cook-iQ available worldwide?
↓
Yes. Cook-iQ is a digital-first, global platform. Chefs from any country can upload and sell cookbooks. Buyers from any country can purchase and download. Payments are processed in 100+ currencies through Stripe.
