At The White Pine Kitchen we’re bridging the difference between meal prep kits and traditional delivery so you can get the best of both worlds.

Unlike meal prep kits that deliver raw ingredients that you have to then prepare and cook, or traditional takeout that can come cold or soggy, we’ll deliver everything almost ready to go. This allows you to spend more time listening to music, learning about the history of what you’re eating or catching up with family and friends. With our quick and easy instructions you can finish the meal at your own pace and enjoy hot, delicious food every time.

We accept credit and debit cards via our payment processing system. Unfortunately, we do not accept cash payments.

The cost per meal includes everything on the menu, the curated Spotify playlist, re-heating instructions, recipes, and a background on the meal. The only other fee is a flat $5 delivery fee per order and state taxes.

All products from The White Pine Kitchen will be delivered in an insulated green tote bag with our logo. Food will be packaged in accordance with the Washtenaw County Health Department regulations.

This means no short orders, no dishes sent back to the kitchen, and (hopefully) no surprises.

If you have a thorough understanding of sanitation, attention to detail, a strong work ethic, basic knife skills, and a passion for making delicious food, we encourage you to apply today!

Requirements:

- Has experience in the food service industry or knowledge of a commercial kitchen
