This was tried most recently by Josephine (josephine.com) in the bay area. They ran up against laws that forbid selling food cooked at home.

I don't think it is a matter of figuring out but rather legislation.

I hope someone can figure out a model like Josephine had, I had some really tasty homecooked meals

Meals on wheels and similar meal services for elderly and disabled people have been around for years. The menus are usually home cooked style food. Some smaller ready to cook kitchens have been in my area for 10-15 years at least.

I understand you might have used homecooked to describe literally home cooked food but smaller mom and pop food prep places are really good. Personally I usually cook but a lot of friends use ready to cook places.

Interesting how when Uber and Airbnb did it they could bypass laws even with opposition.

I wonder what the difference was.
