Meal Delivery Services Prosper in Pandemic

LEE WALLACH, the founder
of a growing personalized meal
delivery service called Home
Appétit, is sending thousands
of meals each week from Home
Appétit’s Wynnefield Heights
kitchen to Greater Philadelphia.

Home Appétit’s delivery
team is delivering Wallach’s
original creations as well as
extras from Philadelphia
eateries like baology, Vanilya
Bakery and High Street on
Market. As the service grows,
Wallach is thinking about
moving to a larger commercial
kitchen, less than a year after
he moved to his current space.

It works like this: Each
Thursday night,
Home Appétit’s menu goes live online,
and remains live until Saturday
night. After indicating how
many people are going to
need serving, customers select
from a wide variety of “Greens
& Grains,” “Entrées” and
“Add-Ons,” the only category
with additional cost. Then,
customers schedule a delivery
for sometime on Monday
evening, and over the weekend,
Wallach and his team cook and
box those thousands of meals
at the Methodist Services Main
Campus near Saint Joseph’s
University. On Monday, drivers with
some knowledge about the
food they’re delivering —
a key selling point of Home
Appétit, to Wallach’s mind
— are dispatched. Everything
arrives prepared and ready to
