How to Price Meal Prep Services for Profit
By Maya Alvarez··8 min read
Customers compare your meal prep to takeout, not to grocery. Price accordingly.
Target food cost: 30–35%
A $12 meal should cost you ~$4 in ingredients.
Don't forget packaging
Meal prep containers run $0.50–$1.20 per meal.
Bundle pricing wins
5-meal packs at $58–$70 outperform individual meals on both AOV and customer retention.
