FAQ

What does MealSnap include for $150 a week?
‍For $150, a MealSnap cook comes to your home for 5 hours to cook approximately 3 recipes. This usually feeds a family of 4 about half the week, with leftovers for lunch. Families that want dinner and lunch for the entire week usually have their MealSnap cook come twice a week for 5 hours each ($300 per week). The price doesn't cover groceries.

‍How are MealSnap cooks chosen?
‍MealSnap cooks are carefully picked for their skills, experience, and love for cooking. They go through strict background checks and are trained to meet our high standards.

‍Can I pick my meals?
‍Yes, you can choose your meals from a wide variety of recipes. Each recipe includes a time estimate to help you plan.

‍What if I have dietary restrictions?
‍We cater to all dietary needs. Just let us know your restrictions and preferences, and we'll tailor your meals accordingly. You can also fully customize any recipe by adding notes for your cook.

‍How does grocery ordering work?
‍You control your grocery budget and choices. Once you select your meals, you'll get a shopping list or an auto-populated cart to order your groceries, which you pay for separately. Groceries come to your door before your cook arrives so they have everything they need.

‍MealSnap vs. cooking myself?
‍MealSnap saves you time on meal prep, cooking, and cleaning. It's home cooking, without the hassle of doing it all yourself.

‍How does it compare to takeout?
‍MealSnap can be more economical and healthier than regular takeout, offering fresh meals for your family without the high cost of markups and delivery fees. Think higher quality ingredients, healthier cooking, larger portions, and much less packaging waste.

‍Why not just hire a personal chef?
‍Personal chefs are pricier and usually offer a fixed menu. MealSnap offers a professional cooking service at a lower cost by streamlining meal planning and grocery shopping, while giving you full control of the menu and ingredients that go into it.

‍Can I use MealSnap if I like to cook?
‍Absolutely! MealSnap is flexible. You can book your cook as little or as often as you want. Or ask your cook to prep ingredients all the way and leave the final steps to you so you can serve a fresh, piping hot meal at dinnertime.

‍How do you ensure kitchen safety and cleanliness?
‍Our cooks follow strict food safety and cleanliness standards, ensuring your kitchen is as clean, if not cleaner, after they're done.

Do I need to be home for the cook?
Yes, initially, when you're getting to know your cook and they're learning your kitchen. After a few sessions, if you're comfortable, you can choose not to be home while they cook.
