Meals Now is a B2B platform that provides white-glove catering delivery by connecting independent-contractor drivers with catering kitchens and restaurants for large orders. It serves corporate offices, hospitals, schools, and event venues across 30+ U.S. cities, using a gig-style app where drivers pick up and deliver, with pay per order (roughly $18–$50+). Deliveries include on-site setup; drivers must look professional, have appropriate vehicles and catering gear, and can earn incentives via a driver tier system based on punctuality and setup quality. Unlike general food delivery apps that move fast food or groceries, Meals Now focuses on high-value corporate and event catering, aiming to provide reliable, scalable catering logistics across its network despite being unfunded as of May 2026.

Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- July 2026 listings show hiring across Wichita, Santa Clara, San Diego, and Dallas.
- Next-day pay via Gigsafe and $18-$50-plus orders improve driver retention economics.
- Batesville-based operations and 2-3 day onboarding enable fast, low-overhead market launches.
What critics are saying
- Meals Now remains unfunded in 2026, constraining hiring, software, and market expansion.
- Driver recruiting looks brittle: 2026 listings require carts, dress codes, and paid background checks.
- DoorDash, Uber Eats, and ezCater already own restaurant demand; they can copy catering workflows.
What makes Meals Now unique
- Meals Now launched white-glove catering-only delivery, not fast food or groceries, in 2026.
- Meals Now claims 30-plus metro markets and new-city launches within 14 days, posted 2025-11.
- Meals Now integrates with ezCater, Toast, Olo, Nash, Burq, and Vromo in 2025.
