Great Plates is part of one of the fastest growing business concepts in the country. The fix & freeze meal assembly business category is recognized nationally for its revolutionary dinnertime solution that eliminates menu planning, shopping, prep-work and clean-up by moving the meal assembly process out of home kitchens and into specially equipped stores. Great Plates is transforming the dinner hour and making it easier for families to enjoy healthy, home-cooked meals together. At Great Plates, customers can choose from 12 to 14 different menu options that change monthly. When they show up for their time-saving meal prep session, all the ingredients are shopped, chopped and prepared for them to assemble their meals. We provide all the packaging and home cooking directions and we even do the clean up! Unlike many other similar businesses, Great Plates has eliminated the required pre-planned registered sessions and is open for business in a convenient walk-in only format-no appointment necessary. Customers are allowed to simply walk-in to create their meal or meals. Also, Great Plates has eliminated the minimum order allowing customers to make as many or as few as they personally need. Not everyone has the need or space to prepare and store 6-12 meals at a time. Both of these changes were made with the customer in mind, realizing that customers need the flexibility that both of these monumental changes provide. The response to the changes has been overwhelmingly favorable.
