Trust & Security

Secure Onboarding with GPS Coordinate Audits

Trust is foundational for peer-to-peer marketplaces. For a three-sided model that involves cooks working from homes or entering customer kitchens, onboarding security must account for identity, address legitimacy, and service-location confidence.

GPS telemetry verification

During mobile signup, providers can submit a physical operating address while the client captures device location telemetry across multiple intervals. The system can compare those coordinates against address data through reverse-geocoding services.

Coordinate drift filtering

To reduce address falsification, a backend service can compare a declared address with actual device coordinates during active onboarding checks. Applications with unacceptable drift can be routed to manual review instead of automatic approval.

Escrow hold release

For cook-at-home service models, arrival check-ins can compare a provider's current GPS location with a customer's verified address bounds. A confirmed physical match can trigger payment state changes while preserving a review trail for operations teams.
