Dinner Factory: Making Dinner Simple Again - A look at the wonder of Dinner Factory

August, 2017

There is a lot of power in sharing a meal together. It’s a bonding experience that brings us closer together. But when work becomes a priority, as it so often does, one of the first casualties always seems to be family dinnertime. Even if you leave yourself time to cook after a busy day at work, there is still the meal planning, the shopping and the prep work that needs to come first—not to mention all the cleaning that follows. Just thinking about it can be enough to make you want to reach for the takeout menu again. But that takeout is expensive, not always healthy and never quite as satisfying as you’d hoped. If only there were a way to combine the convenience of takeout with the benefits of a home-cooked meal. That’s where Dinner Factory comes in. This meal-assembly service makes family dinners not only achievable but also something to look forward to. One visit to Dinner Factory, and your family will fall back into the habit of sharing a nutritious home cooked meal like Grandma used to make!

A New Way to Experience Dinner

Dinner Factory owners Edward and Kim Wanat are no strangers to the hustle and bustle of the modern working world. After years of balancing their careers with the challenges of being full-time parents, they came to understand the struggles that many face when trying to balance the needs of work and a home life. They decided to run their business with a simple goal in mind: To reacquaint their customers with the joy of healthy, home-cooked meals, all with a convenience factor that will leave them with time to relax after a busy day at work.

One of the things that really sets Dinner Factory apart from other dinner services is the quality of the food. While other meal services can leave you wondering about the nutritional value, Edward and Kim plan all the Dinner Factory meals themselves and take great pride in the quality and freshness of their ingredients. If they wouldn’t feel comfortable serving the meals to their own family, they wouldn’t expect their customers to either. The ingredients are locally sourced, preservatives-free and, above all, delicious.

How It Works

If you’ve never heard of meal-assembly services before, don’t fret. They’re incredibly simple to figure out. You start by booking a meal assembly session or pickup time online at the Dinner Factory website and selecting the meals that you want (they come in full-size, serving 4-6 people,
or down-size, serving 2-3 or single servings, ideal for seniors). The Dinner factory menus change monthly, so there is no need to worry about food fatigue. While customer favourites do come back into the rotation, every meal can be an exciting new experience.

When you arrive, the ingredients and the prep tools will be waiting, and you’ll be ready to start preparing your meals. The recipes and staff will guide you through the prep process, and of course, you’re free to customize your meals to meet your family’s specific dietary needs. Depending on how much time you have, you can prep a single meal within minutes, or as many as 12 meals in the span of only a couple of hours.

Once your meals are prepped, packaged and ready to go, so are you. No cleanup required. Just take them home, stick them in the fridge or freezer and pull them out to cook after a long day at work. In one afternoon, Dinner Factory allows you to make two weeks worth of whole, real food for your family. Without all the dreaded shopping and chopping.

So Many Options

You’re always welcome to book a prep session at Dinner Factory, no matter the occasion. Whether it’s a wedding shower, date night, girls’ night, family night or just a slow weekend afternoon, it’s never a bad time to stop by. In fact, Dinner Factory’s location on Hebert Drive makes it the perfect stopping point on your drive home from work. After a quick after-work prep session, you’ll have a full meal in your hands that took virtually no time at all. And if you’re really busy, just call ahead, and Edward and Kim will have a meal prepped and ready for pickup, no assembly required. They’ll even deliver.
