- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Our typical process for working with a new customer begins with a consultation to understand their dietary preferences, nutritional goals, and any specific meal requirements. During this conversation, we discuss factors like preferred cuisines, any dietary restrictions, and desired portion sizes. Once we gather these details, we create a customized meal plan tailored to their needs. After the client approves the plan, we finalize scheduling, meal prep logistics, and address any questions. We handle everything from ingredient sourcing to preparation, providing fresh, ready-to-eat meals directly in their fridge. Throughout the service, we maintain open communication to adjust plans as needed to ensure satisfaction.
