The restaurant preps it
Your meals are cooked in a real restaurant kitchen during quieter hours, then packed in takeout containers for the week. Each menu is built around dishes that reheat well, like curries, braises and stews that often taste even better the next day.
-
One delivery, done
Everything arrives in a single drop-off. Reheat when you're ready, and your weeknight dinners are handled.
Better than takeout, for everyone at the table.
Lower prices for you, steady prepaid orders for the restaurant.
Real restaurant food
Licensed local kitchens cooking their own menus, not a factory line and not anonymous home cooks.
Planned, not scrambled
Your week is set before it starts. No 7pm "what should we order?" and no cooking after a long day.
Supports local restaurants
Your money goes to small, neighborhood kitchens, not chains. Prepaid weekly orders help them stay busy in slow hours.
What a week of dinners really costs.
Same local restaurant food. The difference is the nightly fees, tips and extra deliveries you stop paying for.

Why the meals cost less: restaurants get your order days ahead and paid up front, so they can cook it in one batch during quieter hours and offer a lower weekly price.
Why there’s no tip: Prepped pays its drivers for the delivery, so the total you see is the total you pay.

Questions, answered.
Something else? Email us.
Is there a minimum order?
Yes. Each week's order is a minimum of 3 meals, and you can add up to 5. All of them arrive together in one delivery.
How much does it cost?
Each restaurant sets its own menu and prices, and you'll see the price of every meal before you order. You pay less than takeout because restaurants price weekly orders lower, and one weekly delivery replaces the nightly delivery fees, app service fees and tips.
How long do the meals stay fresh?
Your meals are cooked fresh and packed in regular takeout containers. Refrigerate or freeze them as soon as they arrive, then reheat whenever you’re ready to eat. Refrigerated meals are best within 3 days, so if you’re eating dinners 4 or 5 later in the week, freeze them when they arrive.
Can I change or skip a week?
Yes. You order week by week with no long commitment. Just let us know by Friday.
What about allergies and dietary needs?
Tell us about any allergies or vegetarian, vegan or other needs when you sign up, and we'll help you pick the right dishes.
