Our website or app will allow for easy customization and substitutions based on availability or dietary restrictions. 3. Home Delivery or In-Store Pickup: Customers can choose to have their groceries delivered to their doorstep or schedule a convenient pickup time at their preferred grocery store. Our service will partner with local grocery stores to ensure efficient and timely delivery or pickup. 4. Recipe Library and Cooking Tips: Our website or app will have a library of healthy and easy-to-follow recipes, along with cooking tips and meal prep ideas. This will provide additional resources and guidance for customers who want to expand their cooking skills. Revenue Streams: 1. Subscription Fees: Customers can sign up for a monthly or annual subscription to access our meal planning and grocery shopping service. 2. Partnering with Grocery Stores: We can partner with local grocery stores and earn a commission on each order that is placed through our service. 3.
