The average salary of a restaurant worker in the UK is about 25,200 for the year, which comes to about 2,100 per month. Employees are an important part of any business and for restaurants, labour costs are usually around 30 of the restaurant’s revenue. The below chart shows the prices of all 86 meals we analyzed from a meal kit service, a restaurant, or making it at home from scratch. Monthly employee salaries / labour costs: 2,100 per employee. A few meat-based meals stand out as being much more expensive with a meal kit than home cooking - Cilantro Lime Chicken, Chicken Soup, and Teriyaki Chicken make the top ten worst meal kit deals compared to home cooking. In the above list, for example, making a Cheese Pizza, Mac & Cheese, Cauliflower or Quinoa bowl is incredibly inexpensive to make at home - it only costs about a dollar per serving! However, these are the type of meals where meal kits are the worst value since you’ll be paying around $12 for them as part of the “bundle” you’re required to purchase (that also includes delivery fee).Įating meat through a meal kit is about half as expensive as ordering it from a restaurant, but still much more expensive than making it yourself. For home cooking, we looked at the cost of ingredients according to wellio, based on Whole Foods Market, a national grocery chain with quality products.įor vegetable and pasta-based meals, frankly, it’s really cheap to make them at home while meal kits still charge a lot for them. Since meals sold within a meal kit are usually part of a bundle, we took the average price of a meal across the bundle and then allocated a $2.50 delivery fee per meal. Then added an average $5 delivery fee based on delivery prices from Caviar, UberEats, and Grubhub. This would include purchases such as bread, rice, meat, fish, cereal, soft drinks and condiments. On average, a person can expect to spend anywhere between AUD 250-350 per month (higher in major cities see table below) on food and groceries. To be clear, this is an analysis of your costs and isn’t about looking at opportunity costs of time associated with cooking.įor restaurant delivery, we looked up menu prices on the websites of the following national restaurant chains: Applebee's, Cheesecake Factory, Chevy's, Chili's, Lyfe Kitchen, Maggiano's, and P.F. As with many other items, the prices of food and drink items vary across Australia. For example, you purchase a whole onion for the recipe, which requires half an onion per serving, so the price per serving is ½ of the onion. For home cooking, we've calculated the price per serving based on the consumed portion of ingredients. We looked at 86 popular meals and examined how much it would cost to acquire them as: groceries for home cooking, restaurant delivery or meal kit delivery. When cooking at home, you'll save a substantial amount of money on carb-based meals like pasta or pizza, and you'll save the most on protein-based meals when compared to ordering from a restaurant or meal kits.īefore diving into the results, let’s spend a moment on the methodology of this analysis.
