How Do Meal Boxes Work?

Meal boxes come directly from high street restaurant brands and chains – and have become a popular way for customers to enjoy the same meals from their own homes.

Popular gifts for colleagues and friends or perfect for families and couples who are looking to enjoy a night in together, you can get all the ingredients sent to your home in one meal box and then you can follow the instructions to create your own gastronomic masterpiece!

The meat, ingredients and sauces are delivered fresh and you get any additional tools as part of the kit such as sushi rolling mats and chopsticks.

Why Are Meal Boxes So Popular?

Restaurant meal boxes became really popular during Covid-19. With regular customers unable to visit their favourite high street brands, restaurants started to offer meal boxes as a way to bring the experience to the customer – whilst allowing them to partake in a fun and group-sharing activity.

Families and couples have been able to enjoy meal boxes and have shared the experience of preparing them, when they have had limited social opportunities.

For companies that have not been able to enjoy team lunches and bonding sessions, they have been ordering meal kits and following the instructions together on Zoom.

Covid or not, the meal box phenomenon is here to stay and companies and entrepreneurs are now being more creative and providing more innovative flavours and dishes than ever before.

Is the Food Already Cooked?

No, the food from a meal box is not cooked and the customer is required to follow the instructions step-by-step to fully prepare the meal. You will get the enjoyment from being able to grill the meat, boil the pasta, create the sauces – and everything in between!
