Meal prep delivery is a production kitchen with a route schedule. This workbook costs each recipe to the ingredient, holds a client order tracker with dietary restrictions, plans production batching so Sunday morning is efficient, and lays out a delivery route by neighborhood. Monthly P&L separates food cost from delivery cost from labor.
