How it works
From the price list taped to your walk-in to a week of labelled boxes.
- 1
Cost every meal
Ingredients after trim and cooking loss, the container, your time and overhead. See the price that hits your target food cost.
- 2
Publish the week
Pick the meals, set when orders open and the cutoff, and choose delivery and pickup days. Print it with a paper order form on the Free plan.
- 3
Prep from one list
At cutoff, orders roll up into a prep list with raw quantities, pack cards with sticker colours, labels and delivery stops.
Know your number before you cook
Every cost is worked out from your own prices, after yield. Change the price of chicken and every meal that uses it updates; menus that are already open keep the cost they opened with.

Built for the weekly rhythm of a prep kitchen
A storefront with a real cutoff
Your weekly menu at your own address. Orders stop at the cutoff in your time zone, and sold-out items close themselves.
Weekly meal plans
Customers subscribe, skip a week or pause, and their order is created at cutoff (Pro).
Prep, pack and delivery lists
On screen with tick-offs that sync, printed, or as PDF. The phone screen stays awake in the kitchen.
Sticker colours that print in black and white
Each menu category gets a colour and a letter, so pack cards and labels still read on a cheap printer.
Your Stripe, no fee per order
Customers pay your own Stripe account. Mealiqo charges a flat monthly price and never holds your money.
A flat price, no fee per order
Early access. Payments aren’t open yet, so paid plans can’t be bought today. Start on the Free plan now; we’ll email you when Starter and Pro open.
