Meal Prep & Meal Kit Business Software

Introduction

A meal prep business sells prepared meals on a schedule. Customers subscribe or order for the week, the kitchen cooks to a cut-off, and the food is labelled, packed and delivered on a route. Software for this trade provides the online store with subscriptions and recurring billing, then turns the orders into production reports, ingredient lists, labels and packing slips. Many include a recipe builder that calculates nutrition and macros, and delivery route planning with a driver app. Some suit tiffin and diet catering brands, and some are aimed at businesses that want their own mobile app.

Who needs it

Meal prep companies, diet caterers and subscription food brands that have outgrown spreadsheets and order forms. It is worth having once weekly orders are large enough that hand-built pick lists cause mistakes, or when you want customers to manage their own plans.
