Dinner MyWay, a retail meal preparation franchise founded in 2004, takes pride in making it possible for busy families to preserve home cooking and in-home dining as part of their regular family routine, enjoying all the related benefits. Customers place reservations online. When reservations are made customers select the location, time and the number of entr�es they are interested in preparing. Average cost for 12 entr�es is under $200 (less than $3 per serving). Each entr�e serves 4-6 people and nutritional information is available. Smaller families are able to split meals (providing two sets of the same entr�e, serving 2-3 people). At the store location, customers assemble pre-prepared ingredients and recipes can be tailored to the customer's preferences. Customers leave with a set of six or more meals neatly packaged and freezer or refrigerator ready. Meals include cooking instructions for a variety of at-home cooking methods. There are currently 15 locations nationwide.
