Meal Prep for 1–5 Days

PlatedUp supports more than single dinners — you can book a single meal, multiple portions, or multi-day meal prep covering up to 5 days where supported.

How it works

Meal prep refers to food your cook prepares during your booked in-home cooking session, portioned to cover the days ahead. Your cook comes to your kitchen for the scheduled session — meal prep doesn't mean the cook returns daily unless that's the arrangement you've actually booked.

When booking, you choose how many days (up to 5) or portions you'd like your meals to cover, and your cook prepares accordingly during the session.

Depending on the dishes prepared, meals intended for later in the 5-day meal-prep period may need to be frozen and safely thawed and reheated rather than kept refrigerated the whole time — see Safety During an In-Home Booking for general food-storage guidance. Not every dish is suited to the full 5-day window.

Good to know

Groceries for a larger meal prep booking work the same way as any booking — you can use what you have, arrange delivery, or select grocery pickup where supported. See Who Buys the Groceries?

If you want to book the same cook again for future meal prep, see Booking the Same Cook Again.
