Seriously…. If you’re considering taking the plunge and trying this method out, be prepared for missteps. Quick Tips:

Start small, grow over time

My group has been developing our best practices for a while. We have the same faces and we all know the routine. We’re friends, we’re teammates; We’re a well oiled machine. Your group will be new to this, you may benefit from easing into the process; Avoid becoming overwhelmed, frustrated and potentially unsuccessful.

My first group only had 4 people…. now we have 8-12

We initially built 3 dinner kits…. Now we make enough food for a week

We purchased groceries separately… Now we have a designated shopper

The list is endless…

Your group may have entirely different preferences and practices. Discuss the process with your friends, have them read the startup guide eatingincommon.com/startup. You’ve read the startup guide, right? Make sure you have the tools and containers you’ll need. Consider what your end result might look like. Start small!

Overcome Setbacks

How to prevent errors? You can’t. But you can mitigate them so they don’t become critical. This is why I suggest teams start small…. Pick one or two friends, two or three recipes and grow from there. Slowly you’ll learn how to manage things like

out of stock ingredients

choosing quality proteins and

scoping out your local stores.
