Meal prep in Dublin
Built for a city split by a river and pinched by two canals.
Dublin orders meal prep by the week. Gyms and clubs from Ranelagh to Clontarf, the tech and finance offices around Grand Canal Dock and the Docklands, students across Trinity, UCD, DCU and TU Dublin, and shift staff at St James's and the Mater all want a week of meals settled in one go. Mealforma is meal prep software that gives a Dublin company one place to sell those plans, take the orders and see the week's numbers, priced and billed in euro.
The city's shape is the delivery problem. The Liffey has a limited number of useful crossings, the Grand and Royal canals pinch the routes in and out of the centre, and the quays run one way with bus gates that stop a van driving straight through. South of the river, Georgian streets are lined with permit parking and flats behind a shared door. Mealforma builds each day's route from the actual orders and hands the driver the stops in order with the access notes the customer typed.
Greater Dublin keeps pushing outwards, and the commuter towns order as readily as the city does. A kitchen in Ballymount can serve Tallaght, Swords, Malahide and Bray, but not on the same round. Delivery zones, fees, cut-off times and delivery windows are settings you change yourself, so a northside run on Tuesday and a southside run on Thursday are two zones on one catalogue, each with its own driver and its own stop order.
Dublin customers do everything on the phone and expect to. They pick next week's meals, swap one, skip a week while they are away, and change the Eircode or the door code without emailing you. The customer account holds all of it, and the same record reaches the driver, so what somebody typed on Sunday night is what the van has on Tuesday morning. Prices, payments and invoices stay in euro throughout.

How to start a meal prep business in IrelandWhy Dublin operators move
Three things we decided, so you do not have to negotiate them.
Built-in AI. Set up in minutes, easy every day.
Your shop is ready the moment you sign up, and your team can run it without training. Then switch on AI wherever it helps: a chat on your website that answers customers from your own menu, an assistant in your admin that finds orders and drafts replies, and recipe import that turns a pasted recipe into macros and labels.
See what the AI doesNo percentage of your sales. Ever.
A flat monthly price, and that is the whole bill for the platform. We do not take a cut of your orders, your subscriptions or your growth, and we are not going to add it later.
See pricingOne system, from the shopping cart to the driver.
The menu a customer orders from is the same data the kitchen produces against, the labels print from, and the route is built from. Nothing is re-keyed between tools.
Everything it does
Scope
Meal prep software from the shopping cart to the front door.
Six surfaces that share one catalogue, one set of recipe versions and one order record. Nothing is re-keyed between them.
Storefront and customer portal
A shop your customers order from, and a portal they manage their plan in — both driven by your catalogue rather than a separate website you keep in sync by hand.
Subscriptions and checkout
The part most meal-prep businesses actually run on, modelled properly instead of as a recurring charge with a menu attached.
Kitchen production
What to cook, how much, and from which recipe version — computed from the orders that are actually locked, not from a guess.
Labels and compliance
Labels print from the same recipe and nutrition versions the kitchen produced against, at exact physical size.
Delivery, routing and the driver app
Dispatch that assumes the phone loses signal, because in a delivery van it does.
Admin, staff and the assistant
The back office, with the permissions and the audit trail a business with staff actually needs.
Questions Dublin operators ask
Can we run the whole shop in euro?
Yes. A shop started from this page begins in euro and on Irish time, and your menu prices, delivery fees, invoices and reports all stay in that currency. You connect your own payment provider account, so card payments settle to you directly rather than passing through us. Mealforma's own bill is a flat monthly price and never a share of what you sell.
Food is taxed differently depending on what it is and how it is sold. What can we set?
Not per product — and it is better you know that before you sign up. You set one VAT rate for the location and choose whether your shown prices include it or it is added at checkout; that is what appears on the order and the invoice. Ireland and the United Kingdom do not treat food the same way, and we decide neither for you. If your accountant needs two different treatments on one receipt, the software does not split it today. This is not tax advice.
The city centre traffic rules keep changing. Does that mean rebuilding our delivery setup?
No. Your zones, delivery days, delivery windows and cut-off times are settings you edit yourself, and the route for a day is rebuilt from that day's orders every time. If a bus gate or a one-way change makes an afternoon run unworkable, you move that zone to another day or narrow its window in admin. The software does not read the traffic for you; it just never locks you into last year's plan.
What do our labels print from?
Each meal has a recipe version, and that version carries its ingredients and its allergens. The label prints from the version the kitchen actually produced against, at the label's real physical size, so a recipe change reaches the label without anyone retyping it. What has to appear on a label sold in Ireland is decided by you and the rules your environmental health officer enforces — the software's job is that the printed label and the cooked batch never disagree.
Most of our customers are inside the canals, but people keep asking for Swords and Bray. Can we add a zone?
Yes, and it is the usual way to grow here. Add the zone, give it its own delivery day, delivery window, minimum order and fee, and it appears at checkout for the addresses inside it. Nothing about your existing customers changes, and you can switch the zone off again if the round does not pay for itself.
