They scaled up from scratch. With iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Sophie Gilliatt and Katherine Westwood founded The Dinner Ladies, an online meal delivery service, to bring nutritious, home-cooked frozen meals to busy families.

Apple technology has helped The Dinner Ladies scale and become more efficient.
Gilliatt and Westwood love using Apple technology in their personal lives. In their business, Apple products help The Dinner Ladies run efficiently, safely and economically. As orders grew through the pandemic, Apple devices enabled Gilliatt and Westwood to manage day-to-day tasks remotely. They log recipes and plan menus on Mac, create employee rosters on iPad and use iPhone to track deliveries — saving time and money.

Employees also find Apple’s intuitive, user-friendly platform simple for sharing data with team members and communicating with vendors. And Apple devices can sync with third-party apps and products, so staff can easily monitor food storage temperatures remotely, ensure quality control on iPad and optimise delivery routes on iPhone.
