Orders & Delivery

Where do you deliver?+

We currently deliver across the Cape Town City Bowl, Atlantic Seaboard and inner suburbs, with new areas being added regularly. Check your suburb on our Where We Deliver page.

How does delivery work?+

Meals go out on two fixed delivery days each week — Wednesday and Sunday — routed through Picup's network of motorbike riders. Order by the cutoff (Tuesday night for Wednesday delivery, Saturday night for Sunday delivery) to make that drop.

Can I pick up instead of getting delivery?+

Yes — Self-Pickup is available from our kitchen in Cape Town at no delivery fee. Choose a pickup slot at checkout and we'll have your order ready.

Meals & Nutrition

How long do the meals keep?+

Every meal stays fresh in the fridge for up to 5 days from delivery, or can be frozen for up to 3 months.

Do you list nutrition info and allergens?+

Every meal shows full nutrition info — calories, protein, carbs and fat — plus dietary tags like Vegan and Gluten Free to help you filter. We don't yet publish a full allergen list per dish, so flag any allergies in the notes at checkout and we'll take them into account.

Can I filter meals by diet?+

Our menu is organised by category — High Protein, Vegetarian, Low Carb and Family — plus Snacks and cold-pressed Juices to add on, so it's easy to find meals that fit your goals.

Account & Billing

Do I have to subscribe?+

No. You can order a one-off box with no ongoing commitment. There's no subscription lock-in on Prepd.

Can I use Prepd without creating an account?+

Yes, you can check out as a guest. Creating an account just lets you save delivery details and see past orders.

Can I send a Prepd gift card?+

Yes — pick an amount and a design on our Gift Cards page, and it's delivered straight to their inbox, valid for 12 months from the delivery date.

How do I get help with an existing order?+
