I won’t be home til late evening on my delivery day will the food keep in your bags while I’m away?
You will receive an email 10am Saturday (day before delivery) with your 1.5 hour delivery window. You will then receive a text when the driver is one stop away Sunday. You will finally receive a text once the bag is delivered regardless if you are home.
Our bags are designed to keep food properly cooled for up to 6-7 hours, if you plan to not be home until much later in the day to bring your food inside after it’s delivered please message us prior to Friday and we will substantially increase the ice packs so your food will be keep cooler much longer!
** With the hot summer weather you can leave a beach cooler out front for our driver to put your bag in. Please note you would like the driver to that in your delivery notes if you would like this done.
How is my food kept cool during delivery?
We pack and store all meals in our commercial walk-in fridges, so they’re very chilly when they leave the facility. Meals are transported in our custom cooler bags with a minimum of 3 pounds of Ice Packs to maintain their cool temperature.
Can I freeze my meals?
Absolutely! If you choose not to eat your food fresh in the recommended 5-7 days (seafood & salads 2-4 days), we recommend freezing as soon as you receive them for best results. You can freeze them right in the microwavable dish we deliver them in. Family dishes can be frozen in the aluminum half pans! Entrees are good for up to a month in the freezer. **We do not recommend freezing seafood dishes.
