Feeding a group sounds straightforward until the questions begin. How many meals do you need? Who is a vegetarian? Does everyone eat at noon? Is there enough refrigerator space?
Whether you are organizing lunches for an office, supporting residents in a care home or feeding a busy household, our team at MealFix can help turn all those moving pieces into a practical meal-delivery routine. Keep reading to learn how!
Start With The Group You Are Feeding
A ten-person office and a household of five may order the same number of meals for very different reasons. Office employees may need individually labelled lunches for staggered breaks, while a family might want dinners for evenings when everyone arrives home at a different time.
We start by looking at headcount, delivery location, dietary needs, portion preferences, storage space and budget.
Offer Choices Without Creating Chaos
Groups rarely agree on one meal. One person may want vegetarian food, another may prefer high protein, and someone else may need a gluten-free option.
Our individually packaged meals allow each person to choose an entrée that suits their dietary needs. Our menu includes ingredients, allergens, and available nutrition information for each meal.
We also offer different portion sizes and specified diets: regular, vegetarian, gluten-free, keto, low-carb, Protein Plus, and Senior.
Before choosing your meals, make sure to discuss serious allergies and medically required diets directly with our team. Clear communication can help us better understand your group’s requirements!
Choose The Right Serving Format
Individual meals are useful when people eat at different times or want different dishes. An office might order chicken shawarma for one employee, a vegetarian curry for another and a Protein Plus entrée for someone with a larger appetite—all arriving together.
For families eating at the same time, our family-sized trays may be more practical. They feature popular rotating dishes in larger portions designed for sharing. Individual meals can also supplement a tray when one family member has a different preference.
Keep Ordering Easy Each Week
Recurring group meals should not require a fresh round of detective work every Friday. Workplaces can learn more about individually packaged meals, flexible ordering and customized company programs on our MealFix for the Office page. Businesses may fully subsidize meals, offer a partial allowance or stock a corporate refrigerator.
For the family home, we recommend choosing a weekly subscription for predictable weeks, or ordering à la carte when they need only a few meals!
