Frequently Asked Questions
HOW MANY MEALS CAN I EXPECT WITH A Mini SERVICE
Once you fill out your intake form, we will know what food formula will work best for you. Your meals will be divided up between 3-4 recipes and 10 portions total, with all meals individually portioned and packed.
WHAT IS THE AVERAGE AMOUNT PER WEEK OF THE MINI SERVICE INCLUDING GROCERY?
Somewhere around $390-$455/week. (Excluding 5% GST and any delivery charges.)
Keep in mind that each week your labour costs stay the same, but your grocery costs will fluctuate based on your menu selections. The grocery budget range for our mini service is between $140-$160. If you need to stick to a strict grocery budget, please let us know. We will tailor your menu to ensure that happens.
FYI - For those looking to save some cash, we do have a free pick-up option available from our location in Vancouver at 4172 Fraser Street.
WHAT IF I WANT EXPENSIVE CUTS OF MEAT OR SPECIALITY INGREDIENTS?
No problem. Because you are paying for the actual grocery costs, we can include any items you like. Just keep in mind that your grocery bill will be a little more expensive than usual that week.
WHAT IF I HAVE GUESTS IN TOWN AND NEED TO CHANGE MY FORMULA?
No problem! Just let your chef know at least a week in advance and we will make it happen with no extra labour charges.
DO YOU DELIVER OUTSIDE OF VANCOUVER?
Yes. We charge a flat rate of $35 for delivery and an additional $.61/km round trip from our location for all deliveries outside of the Vancouver area.
WHEN CAN I EXPECT MY DELIVERY?
You will have a regular day for service each week and we will give you a 2 hour delivery window between 3-7pm for when you can expect your delivery. Our driver will send you an ETA once they are en route. If you need to get food on the table by a specific time, please let us know and we will try our best to accommodate.
We also offer a pickup option for Vancouver clients from our location at 4172 Fraser Street. Pick-up orders will typically be ready earlier than our delivery windows - and as a bonus, it’s free to pick up!
WHAT IS THE FOOD PACKAGED IN?
All of your food is stored and labelled in reusable glass and/or compostable containers.
WHAT IF I’M GOING ON VACATION OR AM GOING TO BE OUT OF TOWN?
Any interruption to your weekly service requires a minimum of 1 week’s notice - otherwise, you will be charged that week’s labour (not the grocery) costs.
If regular weekly service sounds like too much of a commitment, consider our B.Nourished program. This is the perfect option for the commitment-phobe or constant traveller.
HOW LONG DOES THE FOOD STAY FRESH?
We are very creative with our menu planning and design them in such a way that ensures freshness.
We also offer a Prepped to Cook option, which is where we do all of the heavy lifting - prepping, chopping, and marinating - and then leave you with instructions for how to cook the meal.
While this does require a little more work on your part, we love this option because you can still have dinner on the table in 30 minutes or less - and your food will always taste fresh rather than reheated.
WHAT IF I WANT SERVICE MORE THAN ONCE per WEEK?
Just let us know - we can cook for you as many days as you like! However, the most cost-effective service is once per week.
