What do meal preparation & planning services include?

Having someone to plan and prepare your meals is an easy way to enjoy balanced, delicious meals while hitting your fitness goals at the same time! You can enjoy the convenience of having every meal customised according to your preferences and dietary needs. Here’s what you can expect from meal planning and preparation services near you:

Meal planning

Running out of meal ideas? Let a Tasker plan your meals and save you time and stress! They can personalise meal plans according to your dietary needs, restrictions, allergies, and aversions. You can have ready meals for a day, a week, or a month, but you can always have it adjusted whenever you want. From vegan and gluten-free to weight loss plans, your Tasker can prep your meals and keep you satisfied! For the health-conscious, hiring someone to give nutritional advice can be an added benefit, so you know which diet is the best for you. You can also get a personal trainer to help you lose fat, gain muscles, and reshape your body!

Meal preparation

For those who don’t have the time or energy to cook their own food, you can let your Tasker do it for you! They can prepare ahead meals based on the meal plan both of you have agreed upon. Your Tasker cooks your pre-prepared meals in either their kitchen or your own, and the meals should last depending on your agreed time frame. To make it even easier for you, you can get someone to shop for your groceries, so you can tick off items on your shopping list without having to step out of your house! Feel free to have fresh meat, veggies, and fruits delivered if you want to have your meal made with fresh ingredients.

Meal delivery

If your breakfast and lunch are cooked and prepared in your Tasker’s kitchen, you can have your meals delivered to your door. Your ready prepared meals are sent to you in freezer bags or oven-safe boxes, all set for reheating any time. Make sure to store them properly in your refrigerator or freezer to avoid getting them spoiled! If you need healthy meals delivered right away, a Tasker can also bring you healthy takeaway from your go-to restaurant so you can enjoy freshly-cooked food while sticking to your diet.

St Kilda, Victoria

8th Nov 2025

I’m looking for someone to help with cooking, meal prep, and general kitchen tasks a couple of times a week. Nothing fancy — just healthy, balanced meals like slow-cooked dishes, grilled meats and veggies, salads, and a bit of variety. The idea is simple — I’d love to reduce my time in the kitchen from around 10–12 hours a week to just a couple. I’m hoping to simplify things a bit, keep life easy, and get some time back while still eating well. I’m open to ideas and flexibility — we can chat through preferences, meal types, and timings once we connect. This would suit someone who genuinely enjoys cooking, is reliable, and brings a bit of creativity and care to home-style meals. Happy to do a paid trial week to start.

$120

Fairfield VIC, Australia

25th Aug 2025

I’m looking for someone reliable, efficient, trustworthy and with good attention to detail to help out at home once a fortnight for 2 hours. Tasks will vary but usually include meal prep, cleaning (we have a fortnightly cleaner so no bathrooms, just thinks like dishes, vacuuming, mopping, dusting), washing, tidying, helping with pet related things and home organising. We’re already a very clean, tidy and organised house though, so it would be helping to maintain this rather than setting it up. Ideally Mondays at around 10:30am, but can figure out other times for the right person. Initially it would be a trial and then go from there. Rate would be $60 per hour. We’re in Northcote/Fairfield. Thank you 😊

Rachel was excellent all round. Great communication, attention to detail and did an excellent job. Highly recommend!
