$50.00 leaves your card through Stripe and lands in SEVA's holding account — not in anyone's pocket. The row is written before the page reloads.
We take 10% — five dollars — and show it to you as a ledger row, not a footnote. It runs the platform, the QR rails, and the audit trail. The other $45.00 is locked to food.
That's three full $12 meals funded outright, with $9.00 starting a fourth. Every dollar stays labelled as yours — open the pool and find your own.
For each meal, three to five nearby restaurants are shortlisted, names hidden. The person eating chooses within 48 hours — or SEVA picks, so no meal stalls. Half the meal money releases on selection.
A QR scan at the counter — one per meal — releases the rest. The scan is the proof: not a promise, not an invoice.
Timestamped and downloadable: $5.00 ran the platform, $45.00 became meals. Every cent has a row.
Every step above is written to SEVA's append-only ledger as it happens. Open any row — timestamp, amount, who signed for it.

Rally your community behind a goal — a school, a shelter, a neighbourhood in need. Watch the progress live, and when it funds, local kitchens get to work.
Each meal is redeemed once, in person, with a simple scan. No duplicates, no leaks.
Every donation lands in an append-only ledger. The pool balance is derived from it — never hand-edited, and any surplus flows straight back in.
The live pool balance and every campaign's progress are there for anyone to see. Trust you can check, not trust you're asked for.
One meal is a whole evening of relief. Give it in under a minute.
