Meal prep delivery has swept the nation in 2020 with a shift to working from home and lockdowns plaguing small businesses, but what actually is it? For some, it means a break from cooking AGAIN. Others find comfort in having chef-inspired meals delivered to their door step. Some may get meals delivered to make sure they’re eating healthy and sticking to that difficult diet.
Meal Prep means something different to everyone and that’s what makes it such a great and diverse opportunity for restaurants and catering owners.
Heat & Eat vs. Cook & Eat
- hello
Start with a meal prep software that can scale with you.
How KitchenFuel Fits In
Prepping hundreds of meals each week can put a strain on any restaurant or catering owner if they don’t have the right tools to track orders, variations, additions, sauces, changes, toppings, etc. There are a million things to keep track of and you got into cooking, well, because of the cooking!
KitchenFuel provides the back-end software that allows you to track your orders, understand how many of each you have to cook depending on your weekly cutoff time and then wrap it all up with label printing support to keep your customers informed. We do all of this to save you time in a prepping process that has nothing to do with the food. All these items can be automated and should not be taking you all weekend to figure out before delivery day.
3 Things to Know
Firstly, there is no need in 2021 to collect orders by Instagram DMs, emails or Google Froms. There, I said it. If that’s the case, there must be some replacement out there that is able to not only collect your orders, but help you classify and analyze them. Getting online in 2021 is a must and we’re here to help.
Second, you need to own the relationship with your customers again. Remember those days when they used to walk in your stores and order “the usual”? UberEats and delivery companies like it have taken away that gift . Now it’s time to take it back. Not only are you saving on the crazy 30% fees they charge, you also now have your customer data and as they say, data is King. Above all, you’ll be able to communicate with your customers again through promotions, emails, SMS and more to tell them how much you love them.
Finally, this has been a tough year. You deserve to take a break and focus on your family and friends and not slave the days away by hand-writing labels or figuring out which meals need to be delivered where. Let us handle these easily automated tasks with simple downloads.
