How are Meals by Operation orders delivered?

That depends on your order. We deliver freshly prepared dishes through our own delivery service or meal delivery platforms. We ship frozen meals from Meals by Operation via PostNL in insulated packaging so everything arrives properly chilled. Once your order is on its way, you will receive a track & trace code.

At checkout, you choose your delivery day and time slot, and the evening before delivery you will receive a track & trace code. Please make sure someone is available to receive the package and refrigerate the products immediately afterwards.

Fresh meals are delivered chilled and intended to be eaten within a few days. Frozen meals are frozen immediately after preparation, giving them a longer shelf life and often a slightly lower price. We prepare both to the same quality and taste standards.

It varies by dish. We state the exact weight for every dish and meat package. A main course weighs approximately 450 to 550 grams on average.
