Frequently Asked Questions
Does it cost the property anything?
No. HoodBasket covers the market, installation, and ongoing restocking. It’s a resident amenity at no cost to the property.
What payment methods are accepted?
Tap-to-pay credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. No account or app download required.
What if an item is out of stock?
Markets are restocked on a regular schedule. You can also flag items you’d like to see carried, and we adjust the mix per building.
Is fresh produce available?
Yes—fruits and vegetables are one of the six categories every market carries, alongside dairy, bread and eggs. What’s still ahead is sourcing that produce directly from local farms via a mobile cart. See what’s coming.
