      @@VallanaTrue nope it is illegal to wash the containers and re-use them.
      Always sell new ones. That is a health code violation if you re-use. Plus thats not sanitary!

      If your looking to make money or a profit, I highly suggest food business to NOT be your choice.
      Food businesses profit really small. Just take a look on google:
      type in: Average food business profit margin.
      You'll see its around 2-3% and as you scale, you start making smaller profit.

    Started meal prepping for myself by making 5 lunches and 5 dinners every Monday, i work 9 till 6 Tuesday through Saturday so i never want to cook when i get home at 7.
    Once i felt a bit sick and gave my lunch to my co worker. He said he wanted some again and gave me €3,50 for it. Ingredients are like €15 for 10 since i do a bit of budget shopping.
    Now i make a weeks worth of my salary extra each month because of my co workers
    5 coworkers every day 5 days a week for lunch.
    €3,50 per lunch - €1,50 = €2 profit, €2x5x5 = €50 per week, 4 weeks per month = €200 extra profit.
    Low-key wanting to start it up as my own business and deliver throughout the city on a cargo bike. But I'll need a bit more money saved up before i go there

    Hi! My husband and I just started our own prep business at home 2 weeks ago. It's flattering that our clients/ customers are getting bigger from 5 to almost 20 orders of meal/s per day. I also have our small food business registered in Department of Trade Industry this week. At this time, I was thinking to invest more in our small food business and hire some helpers. Can I ask some pieces of advice from you for a newbie like me. I want to learn more on the right packaging, connecting with delivery services partners and in handling such food business. Thank you and more power.

How do you scall your business, who do you sell to, how do you acquire customers, how do you price your meals (profit margins), delivery app ?? Oh, the main question : START UP COSTS ?? how long did it take before you break even and start being profitable.

Is this right? if so these are obviously MW able plastic packing? Anybody knows? Or are these eaten cold?

    What does meal prep exactly mean? Is it prepackaged takeaway food? Are these meals cooked or raw? Do they need to be microwaved before eating? I haven't understood the concept. My understanding of prepping is to ut, chop, marinate and keep things ready before cooking the final dish. What I see in the video looks like prepacked preportioned meals like what we have tiffins in India.

    I applaud your success. But the title misled me to think it was a step by step instructional video.
