What Fresh Prep Foods does

Fresh Prep Foods Inc. is a Vancouver-based direct-to-consumer meal kit delivery company founded in 2014 by Becky Brauer, Dhruv Sood, and Husein Rahemtulla. The company delivers chef-inspired ready-to-cook recipes with pre-portioned, pre-prepped ingredients to subscribers' doors, alongside a complementary line of ready-to-eat heat-and-eat meals and a 150+-item grocery marketplace called Fresh Prep Market. Its core technology is a meal kit delivery platform supported by a proprietary, patented Zero Waste Kit reusable container system (described as a first-in-industry innovation) and an owned carbon-neutral delivery fleet that enables real-time tracking and reverse-logistics pickup of returnable cooler bags and packaging across 130+ cities in British Columbia, Alberta, Quebec, and Ontario. The company holds B Corporation certification and maintains CFIA, GMP, and Food Safe compliance for food handling.

Fresh Prep operates a subscription-recurring revenue model with weekly or bi-weekly billing, starting at $10.50 per serving for ready-to-cook meals and $6.92 per serving for ready-to-eat meals, with a $60 minimum order and 50%-off first-order promotions. Go-to-market is product-led growth via self-serve website sign-up, supplemented by organic social (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn), email, an affiliate/student referral program, and a corporate gift card channel. The customer base is entirely consumer, segmented by persona into individual/family, environmentally-conscious, and health-conscious diners, with no enterprise concentration. In addition to meal kits, the company sells 150+ grocery staples as add-on modules and operates a Fresh+ Rewards loyalty program that auto-enrolls subscribers.

The business has expanded through acquisitions: Peko (a surplus-grocery delivery service focused on food-waste reduction, acquired February 2023) and Cook it Recipes Inc. (a Montreal-based meal kit company acquired February 2024 to establish presence in Quebec and Ontario). Fresh Prep received a large minority investment from SEMCAP Food & Nutrition in July 2025 alongside Renewal Funds to support ongoing national expansion. The company was named to Globe and Mail's Canada's Top Growing Companies list for the fifth consecutive year in 2025, reporting 118% revenue growth from 2021 to 2024.
