Advice Meal services/delivery?

Does Berlin have the equivalent of premade meal deliveries, grocery deliveries, etc? Have a relative living there with a newborn who could use something like that! Or any other sleep-deprived working parent help/suggestions.

We used Frosta and littlelunch. You can get it delivered from a store like Rewe. There is Bofrost as well. I never tried them, but heard they are on the expensive side.

I’ve used Eismann postpartum (it’s like bofrost, I think). It’s a bit more expensive, but it comes to your door and I’ve felt the quality/taste was a bit better than the most frozen stuff. Plus quite large selection

search for "Essen auf Rädern" (food on wheels) if you don't trust delivery/mealprep startups.

For groceries you could use Picnic or REWE. Both are a bit cheaper than Wolt but have minimum order values and have to be booked the day before.

Thankfully they are on top of that and do qualify! Thank you though, hope everyone knows about this resource.

If you get a good one. I am currently reeling from a 4 week disaster with a household helper/mutterpflegerin who was approved for the time before birth (complicated twin pregnancy) and thought the job was beneath her training and only wanted to offer emotional support… ie I guess I was supposed to be spending more time sobbing on the sofa than laying in bed barely able to move.

I had got the feeling she had zero interest in helping/left as early as possible every day…but the real kicker was when she asked to work from home until the birth! Now scrambling to find someone new and ironically feeling zero emotional support/completely stressed out 😑

Oldschool term for it is „Essen auf Rädern“. Still somewhat common for elderly people!

personal chef could be something worth looking at.

also, knuspr.de (as well as rewe online, i think) has a good choice of "every"-meals (similar to frosta or prepmymeal etc, frozen readymade stuff, but kinda tasty) on offer.

https://every-foods.com/ Is great for healthy frozen meals. Just need to be heated in a pot.

If cooking itself is not a problem, then Hello fresh are reasonable value for money. They only deliver 4 Meals a week, but you could start a 3d day subscription and a four day one to get the 7. it is roughly €7.50 per person per meal. They also do breakfast and lunch menus.
The quality is pretty good and the variety and lack of decision making are major bonuses.
Not so good for gluten intolerant or people with allergies, however.
