11 Meal Prep Business Success Stories [2023]

When we first started, we sold around 200 bowls each week. We currently sell around 10,000 bowls each month. Most companies like this start the same way, cooking from their primary residence for family and friends. We were no exception. But as we continued to grow, we spent time and money to work out of rentable commercial kitchens until we were able to afford our own.

Hi, I’m Andrei Calinescu and I am the Founder and CEO of One Life Meals.

Hi, my name is Andy Sartori. I am the founder of MealPro, a food delivery startup that specializes in pre-cooked and pre-portioned meals. Our typical customer is a busy, health-conscious individual who has no time to shop, prep, portion and cook meals to support their nutrition objectives, hence our call-out “Eat with Purpose”.

Every week we move two pallets of quality ingredients through our kitchen. We have now 11 employees, and constantly on the lookout for more!

Sprwt was started in a small village in Europe in 2016. Many years ago, my partner Rui Marinho and I, Michael Rapoport, were tasked with creating a system for a startup looking to bring healthy meal delivery to Europe. What we didn't know then was the market was not ready. We came back to South Florida with a software platform in hand thinking no one would ever want meal prep delivery software. What were we going to do with all this code? We were so wrong.

We have the most efficient and effective meal prep software platform on the market. Today we’ve built technology for any restaurant, catering company, or meal prep business to run an online store, sell items with our POS device, or even create delivery routes with our route planning technology. We generate $1million plus in revenue per month.

We currently make around $440,000 per month. I started in my dorm room and expanded globally over the years.

My name is Michael Martinez, the owner and founder of Eat Clean, a healthy meal delivery service located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. We prepare healthy meals with all-natural and organic ingredients, then deliver meals directly to the consumer's doorstep.

Our customers are typically 25-44-year-old professionals that are too busy to cook or want to live a healthy lifestyle. We opened for business back in January 2015 with just three of us in a shared commercial kitchen space. We have now grown to monthly revenue to over $300k per month in sales.

As we say in the South: “Hey Ya’ll!” I’m Mary Drennen, a co-founder of Nourish Foods.

In late 2014 we launched Nourish Foods. Nourish creates and delivers high-quality, healthy and fully-prepared meals to your door each week. Our goal is to give individuals and families their time back. There is no shopping, cooking or cleaning involved with Nourish.
