How tandoco Meal Delivery Works

Same kitchen, same week-of cooking schedule — we just bring the meals to you. Order by Thursday night, we cook Friday and Saturday, your delivery arrives Sunday in a 2-hour window you choose at checkout. No subscription required. No frozen food. No national-warehouse middleman.

Why tandoco Delivery Beats Subscription Meal Delivery

tandoco's flat $9 delivery is the reason our meals cost less than any subscription meal delivery service operating in Minneapolis. National prepared-meal companies (HelloFresh, Factor, Freshly, Trifecta, MightyMeals, Daily Harvest) bake the cost of cold-chain shipping, refrigerated couriers, and packaging engineered to survive a 3-day FedEx truck into every plate. Because we cook locally and deliver the next day within 15 miles, we keep the delivery fee flat and the meals the cheapest fresh prepared meals in the Twin Cities.

Whole Ingredients, No Fillers

Real proteins, real vegetables, real spices — no fillers and no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. Ingredients you can actually pronounce.

Every meal is built around quality protein to keep you full and support muscle — the easiest single change most people can make to eat healthier.

Full Macros, Nothing Hidden

Protein, carbs, fat, and calories are labeled on every single meal. You always know exactly what you're eating — no guesswork, no hidden sugar.

Cooked Fresh, Never Frozen

Made from scratch in our Minneapolis kitchen the day before delivery — not shipped frozen from a warehouse out of state. Fresh food simply tastes and eats better.
