Too Worn out To Cook Dinner?-Dream Dinners Offer The Perfect Answer
To some folks a dream dinner might be any decent food they can get for free. But Dream Dinners is also a unique food franchise that’s quickly growing. It’s all about people cooking under supervision according to planned menus. Yes, you’re probably saying “why didn’t I come up with that one”?
In the modern world people maintain full schedules. Home cooked meals are becoming extinct . Frozen foods and pre-packaged meals are fine, but just not the same. When the schedule is packed, however, will people give up their jobs or their self made meals? This franchise comes to the rescue.
It works something like this. Patrons go in and select some or all of 14 meals from a menu. Food is then purchased by serving. Then the consumers cook the meals, at the store. This can be accomplished either in public or private sessions, with creative cooking pros directing the preparation action. This is a lot like a chef at a restaurant coming out to direct the diners in preparing the food.
It sounds a lot more expensive that it really is. Although salads and side dishes are separate, the main course is only about $3.50 per serving for all 14 meals. This can bring the cost per serving for a complete meal up to around the $5 mark, but for a busy working family it’s not bad. Not only are the meals provided, but the family can enjoy the cooking experience in a setting where it’s ensured that they’ll prepare the meals the right way.
These locations are franchises people own. It has its problems. It’s not the food or menus or preparation, but rather the franchiseesSome of the franchisees aren’t happy. Forbes Magazine profiled Dream Dinners in March 2008. The story didn’t look good for the company. Franchisees flocked to this brand new idea. The business plan came into question when many of the franchises went out of business after a short time. Forbes claims the franchisees were sold a bill of goods when it came to the claims of wild success.
Business controversy aside, Dream Dinners is a wonderful concept that allows busy people living the 21st century fast-paced life a way to return to some of the home spun food value of the past decades.
