Sometimes, we don't realize just how much a meal can mean to someone.
Recently, I received a message from a customer that I haven't stopped thinking about.
She lost her husband, her best friend, in December. Just a month later, she lost her beloved rescue dog of 13 years.
As she put it, she's been experiencing "a million and one firsts."
One of those firsts was Thanksgiving.
She had ordered our Thanksgiving Dinner for Two, and she reached out to tell us something.
After everything she'd been through, she'd recently adopted a new dog named Hannah.
Between welcoming Hannah into her life and having a Thanksgiving dinner prepared for her, she felt like things might be a little easier.
But it was something she said at the end of her message that really stayed with me.
"You and your staff are probably not aware of the different ways your business can comfort people."
She was right.
We spend so much time thinking about menus, ingredients, cooking, packaging and getting orders out the door.
We talk about saving people time and making life easier.
But sometimes, we forget that we don't always know what's happening on the other side of the meal we're preparing.
Maybe someone is celebrating.
Maybe someone is exhausted.
Maybe someone is experiencing a difficult first.
And maybe having dinner taken care of means a little more than we realize.
I thank you for reminding me, and our entire team, why the work we do matters.
We are thinking of you and thank you for sharing.
❤️
