Impact
Preptd is transforming how people experience food, time, and home life through a fractional private chef model that brings real food and human connection back into everyday living.
The modern household is stretched thin. Parents are balancing careers, kids, and commitments with little time or energy to plan, shop, or cook well. Meanwhile, the food industry has leaned toward convenience at the cost of quality through meal kits, takeout, and delivery services that add packaging, stress, and compromise. We are here to change that.
By pairing families with fractional private chefs who shop, cook, and clean in-home, we are reintroducing craftsmanship and care into the one thing everyone shares: meals. Each chef supports multiple households per week, creating a sustainable system that is personal, efficient, and scalable.
The impact goes beyond dinner. Families reclaim hours every week to rest, connect, and live intentionally. Chefs earn stable, dignified work doing what they love without restaurant burnout. Communities benefit from a local food ecosystem that values health, integrity, and time over speed and volume.
Preptd turns mealtime back into what it was meant to be, a pause, not a chore. A place where nutrition, culture, and conversation intersect. And at scale, this model does not just feed households, it restores balance to how we live.
When life gets preptd, people gain more than meals. They gain time to raise their kids, build their businesses, and care for their health. We are not just serving food; we are serving freedom.
What I'll do with $5,000
With $5,000 we can effectively launch our marketing site and begin phase two of our digital presence. This phase includes building our client relationship management system to streamline client intake, scheduling, and chef operations. The investment enables us to automate onboarding, improve communication between chefs and families, and create a seamless experience from inquiry to in-home service. This foundation allows us to scale efficiently, maintain quality, and prepare for regional expansion as we grow our fractional private chef network.
