Most of us owe a whole lot to our parents and grandparents.  They raised us and provided for us and so sometimes it’s nice to give back.  We’ve realized that Let’s Dish! can help with that.

Since we opened in 2004, we’ve had a loyal following of seniors who truly adore our product.  They typically split (or use the new HALVES option) because they are usually feeding just 1-2 people.   Many prefer to dish themselves because it’s a fun and social outing.   It makes their lives easier by simplifying meal time, saving money, and limiting necessary trips to the grocery store.

When we launched DishDelivery, things got  more interesting.  A handful of our customers were having our meals shipped to their parents or grandparents, especially if they lived a bit farther away (we’re able to ship our meals along the eastern seaboard as far as Hartford, CT and Albany NY in the north and Raleigh, NC in the south).  We saw spikes in this around holidays.  Sometimes it was just a nice gift; other times, the recipient had lost some mobility for one reason or another and this was a big help.

My wife and jumped on this trend.  For a few years, we had been bringing our food with us when we visited relatives.  Now, with delivery, we started shipping.  With the help of both sets of our parents, we’ve been sending meals to each of our grandparents, who range in age from late 70’s to late 80’s (and still looking great, I might add!).  We do it fairly regularly and it’s really a nice feeling to know they are eating healthy food and don’t have to trouble themselves much with grocery shopping or complicated meal prep.

So to all the grandmas and grandpas and moms and dads and aunts and uncles out there to whom we owe so much– thanks, and enjoy the meals!
