Time/week spent: 10h - 20h

I spent a minimum of 10 hours per week and a maximum of 20 hours per week on the meal prep service side hustle. Initially, more time was needed for setting up the operations, menu planning, sourcing ingredients, and creating marketing materials. As the business settled, time spent decreased as routines were established. Tasks included meal preparation, client communication, delivery coordination, and bookkeeping. Most online sources indicate a similar time commitment, with some individuals investing more hours for expansion or customization.
