Meals Next Door is the first online kitchen. Our process is designed to provide customers with affordable and hassle free meal solutions. Our user friendly ordering system and fully customizable menu items bring about a unique customer experience.
With Meals Next Door customers first cook their food online virtually, picking their exact ingredients. Once the order is confirmed our staff starts preparing meals from scratch. Meals are then delivered straight to the customer’s door. No cooking, no dishwashing, no hassle. According to foodproductiondaily.com, households on average waste 14% of their food purchases. Of the wasted food purchases, 15% of those items are still within their expiration date but never opened. Adding up to an average family of four toss out $590 per year, just in meat, fruits, vegetables and grain products. Household food waste alone per year is estimated to be $43 billion, making it a serious economic problem.
Meals Next Door is in pursuit of changing the way people eat. We believe that “fast food” doesn’t necessarily have to mean unhealthy. We will bring order to how an average person consumes food, thus eliminating residential food and water waste. As currently ens-newswire.com estimates that 30% of all food prepared commercially in the US goes to waste. That’s about $48.2 billion of food, which in technical terms means that 30% of the acreage used to farm crops in the United States is wasted. Furthermore, this means that an additional 30% of the population could be fed, which is crucial in the global financial recession.
Our company differs in many ways than a traditional restaurant. Meals Next Door is a delivery-only community kitchen. We use groundbreaking cooking techniques to prepare meals quickly while placing emphasis on preserving a healthy diet. This is our main priority. We steam cook all vegetables, which is the fastest and also the healthiest way of preparing vegetables. Each menu item offered is pre-sliced and pre-portioned in individual vacuum bags, eliminating human contact on all raw food items during production. Each MND kitchen employee is trained to wear a facemask, head mask, shoe covers, gloves and apron. With such simple yet effective techniques our stations can easily meet and go beyond the requirements of state health departments. Best of all, each meal served is prepared at a “home kitchen”, but MND is more than just a kitchen.
