Really?
Meals for Reals is a new catering concept started by Christine Merker. She has five years professional baking and cooking experience as well as a lifetime in the home kitchen experimenting and learning. One day, she realized that even though she was a chef, it was HARD to eat well at home. Working full time and trying to cook from scratch, who has time for that? Well, Christine does, so she decided to make herself available for hire as your personal chef, shopper and meal planner. However, starting out in the food industry is expensive, and requires a lot of equipment, so she is reaching out to friends, family, and the internet to raise start up funds.
What We Need & What You Get
Funding is needed to create the "Mobile Command" Essentially this will be a mobile kitchen supply station, so that if a client is lacking pans, or small wares (food processor, mixer, etc), a job will not take exponentially longer as a result of it, or have a loss of quality. The goal is to provide restaurant quality food, which often requires equipment average people do not have in their homes. The remaining funds from this campaign will also be used for packaging, advertising, licenses, legal fees, insurance, etc.
If you contribute not only will you get one of many amazing perks, but you will be supporting a small local business designed for real people, like you! Eating unprocessed, healthy food should not be a luxury and it is a priority at Meals for Reals to keep the service accessible, and this is only possible when properly equipped.
One of the things Meals for Reals hopes to accomplish is to help local families reduce the amount of processed food they consume. This in turn promotes a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle for clients and their families with less junk, and more delicious!
