Frequently Asked Questions
What is Nuar?
Nuar is a mobile app connecting local food producers directly with consumers, launching as a controlled beta in Milan in 2026. Through an AI-curated feed and pickup-based distribution, Nuar competes with traditional supermarkets by making local food an everyday purchase. At launch, sellers pay 0% commission and keep 100% of their sales. Nuar isn't a marketplace or social network — it's a new model for local food commerce.
Is Nuar a marketplace?
No — Nuar is a new model for local food commerce, not a marketplace or social network. You follow specific local farms, brands, and artisans, order what they're making fresh, and pick it up. Producers set their own prices and keep 100%.
When and where is Nuar launching?
Nuar is launching as a controlled beta in Milan in 2026, starting with a single city to get it right. Join the waitlist on the homepage to be notified when it goes live in Milan.
How is Nuar different from Cortilia?
Cortilia is a home-delivery local-food box service. Nuar is pickup-based and takes 0% from producers at launch, who sell to you directly. You follow specific local farms and artisans and collect what they make fresh, not a fixed box delivered to your door.
How does Nuar work?
You follow local farms, brands, and artisans, see what they're making fresh this week in your feed, order, and pick it up at a nearby hub. The feed is curated by proximity, your taste, and local trends — no stock, no shelves; producers make only what's ordered.
What can I buy on Nuar?
Produce, bread, dairy, meat, pantry staples, and prepared foods — enough variety to replace supermarket trips, not just supplement them. Small farmers for fresh basics, local brands for staples, artisans for what you can't find elsewhere.
How much does Nuar cost for buyers?
You pay the producer's price plus a €0.50 basket fee and a 10% platform fee — no subscription, no markup on the food itself. Producers keep 100% of their price.
Does Nuar deliver, or is it pickup only?
Pickup only — there's no delivery fee. Producers drop orders at pickup hubs across Milan (cafés, markets, parking lots) and you choose the one that works for you.
Is Nuar more expensive than a supermarket?
Some things cost more, some the same, some less — you're paying producers directly instead of corporate chains. We won't claim everything's cheaper, but you get real freshness, transparency, and a direct line to who made your food.
How is Nuar different from a farmers market?
You don't have to show up at 7am, and you order ahead instead of hoping it's still there. You follow real local sellers, see what's genuinely fresh, and pick up when it suits you.
How do I join as a buyer?
Nuar isn't live yet — join the waitlist on the homepage for early access. Once it launches in Milan, you'll browse the feed, order from local producers, and pick up at a nearby hub.
How much does it cost to sell on Nuar?
Nothing — sellers pay 0% commission at launch and keep 100% of their sales. Buyers cover platform costs through a small basket and transaction fee.
How and when do producers get paid?
When a buyer orders through Nuar, you keep 100% of your listed price. Payouts run on a regular schedule directly to your bank account — no manual invoicing, no chasing payments.
Who can sell on Nuar?
Local food producers — farmers, artisan makers, and small-batch creators. If you grow vegetables, bake bread, make cheese, or produce honey, Nuar is for you.
Will Nuar ever charge sellers?
Right now, no — buyers cover platform costs and sellers keep 100%. If that ever changes, you'd know well in advance; no surprises, no hidden shifts.
