Dream Dinners FAQs

Dream Dinners is an innovative concept in meal preparation that eliminates stress by taking away that nagging question of - what am I going to make for dinner tonight? It removes all menu planning, shopping, prep-work and clean-up by moving the meal assembly process out of people's kitchens and into specially equipped stores.

Dream Dinners' guests preview a changing monthly menu online at dreamdinners.com and select their dinners from a menu featuring up to 17 items (depending on location) such as Steak Gorgonzola, Penne with Chicken and Peanut Sauce and Firehouse Three Cheese Pasta with Meatballs. The guest can elect to assemble at least 12 medium dinners or six large dinners (or a combination of both sizes). Our guests then register to attend a meal assembly session at the nearest Dream Dinners store location, and pay for their session online.

When it's time for their session, guests bring boxes or coolers with them to the Dream Dinners store, where our friendly and knowledgeable staff greet them and explain the process. At the store, guests rotate through refrigerated recipe stations, scooping prepped ingredients into the provided baking pans or gallon-sized, zip-top bags, which they label with the appropriate cooking instructions.

After assembling their dinners, guests take the uncooked dinners home and freeze them. Each week, three meals are taken from the freezer and placed in the refrigerator to be enjoyed during the upcoming week.

Our guests find that Dream Dinners enables them to provide their families with nutritious, wholesome, home-cooked dinners with less stress and more time to enjoy their families.

We hope you will give Dream Dinners a try!

Dream Dinners meals are priced per menu item, offering guests flexibility with their food budget. Options will include steak, chicken and everything in between.

To view menus with prices for your location, click to Get Started.

Some dinners come with a side dish and these are listed in the recipe description. Additionally Dream Dinners offers a wide variety of pre-assembled side dishes and other add-ons for purchase in our Sides & Sweets freezer. Variety and availability vary by location.

Freezer storage lengths vary by menu item, so we include our suggestions for best quality on each of our cooking instruction labels. After assembling your dinners, the sooner you can get them into your freezer, the better. Don't forget to take out at least 3 dinners at the beginning of each week to thaw in your refrigerator.

We recommend that you take 3 dinners every week from your freezer and place them to thaw in your refrigerator. Depending on where you place them in your refrigerator and what temperature you hold at (recommend 38 - 40 degrees), and what the dinner is, it can take several days (sometimes up to 2 - 5) to completely thaw your Dream Dinners.

Once your dinner is completely thawed, be sure to cook your dinner within these timeframes:

• Steaks/beef, three to five days
• Poultry/Pork, one to two days
• Seafood, one to two days

We are sorry, but due to the space limitations in our stores, we are unable to allow guests to split sessions, therefore during regular sessions we permit only one guest per session slot. This policy ensures our sessions are comfortable and efficient for all guests.

Our website allows guests to reschedule their session up to 6 days prior to their session date. To reschedule your session, log into your account using your login name and password, then click on "My Account". Click on the upcoming session you wish to reschdule. If your session can be rescheduled there will be a "Reschedule" link. Click on the "Reschedule" link, and select your new date and time from the calendar then complete the remainder of the rescheduling process. Your account will show the rescheduled date and time of your session and you will receive an email confirmation of the change as well.

Note: Contact your home store if you are not able to reschedule your session online. Contact information for all of our stores is available on our Locations page.

We understand that life is unpredictable. Due to unforeseen circumstances, guests may need to reschedule sessions. Since we order ingredients specifically for each guest's dinners, we do ask for a 6-day rescheduling/cancellation notice prior to your session date. Reschedule/cancellation changes made with less than 6 days advance notice from the session date will be subject to a 25% restocking fee. This policy allows Dream Dinners to continue to offer our guests healthy, nutritious dinners at reasonable prices. If possible, the store will work with you to reschedule your session within the current menu month of your original session date without penalty.

During inclement weather, please contact your local store to see if your session has been canceled. In the event the store must close, information will be provided on the store's voicemail and every effort will be made to reschedule your session.

Dream Dinners orders ingredients specifically for each guest's dinners prior to the scheduled session. If your session is more than 5 days away, you may change your order by contacting your local store for assistance. Order adjustments are subject to availability of ingredients. Contact information for all of our stores is available on our Locations page.

Whether or not children may attend a session varies from store to store. In some states, children under the age of 12 are not allowed by state law to participate in a meal-assembly session.

One of our goals at Dream Dinners is to make our sessions family-friendly; therefore some of our stores do allow guests to bring their spouse with them to a session or they may offer special "Date Nights" or "Helper Sessions". Due to the size limitation of our stores, overcrowding of sessions can become a concern. In order to provide all of our guests with comfortable sessions, and to remain in compliance with local occupancy requirements, Dream Dinners must limit the number of guests in stores at one time. Contact your local store in advance of your session for more information.

Each of our stores is independently owned and operated as a franchise, so pricing may vary from store to store. Click on "Locations" to search for the store you will be attending. Then click on "Get Started" and you'll see their pricing.

At this time, Dream Dinners does not accept payment using Food Stamps or EBT.

Your opinion matters to us! We want your feedback on your dinners each month. In order for a menu item to be brought back on the menu in the future, the recipe must have a minimum average rating of 3.5 stars and have a minimum of 100 ratings to qualify. So how do you rate your meals? By visiting your My Meals page in your account, you can give your dinners up to 5 stars and leave us notes about specific things you liked a lot or would like to see changed.

New menu items are especially important to rate, because they are starting from scratch. If you want to see them on the menu again, login to your account and let us know how your family liked the dinners. Items you mark "Would order again" are flagged on the menu as a favorite with a star icon to make it easy to remember which menu items you loved.

The comments you leave about each dinner are read through periodically and can be used to make updates. We do not directly respond to comments. If you have a question or concern about a menu item, please contact your store directly. Please continue to rate and comment on your meals. They are a key piece in our menu selection process! So important in fact, you get 5 bonus points for each meal you rate in the PLATEPOINTS program.

We look forward with great anticipation to the day that we have the opportunity to serve you and your community. We are, however, a franchise organization and our stores are owned and operated by individuals who are qualified to purchase and invest in owning their own Dream Dinners business. As such, our desire to expand is directly related to connecting with strategic-partners to join us on our journey to make a difference in the lives of families across the nation. Please continue to watch our website for updates and for new location notifications.

Dream Dinners is pleased to provide nutritional information for all our dinners. The nutritional information is based on individual servings (unless otherwise stated). For example, if one Dream Dinners meal was divided into 6 equal portions, the nutritional information is accurate for one portion.

There are 3 ways to view this information, you can click to Get Started. Once you are on the menu page you can click the Dinner Details link for each menu item. Also, you can login and in your My Account, click on your Upcoming or Previous session order. At the bottom of your receipt are links to download the nutritional information for that orders dinners. Additionally, you can visit the Recipe Resources page and search for a specific menu item, then click the link to view it. You will be taken to the Dinner Details page to see the nutritional information.

At this time we are not able to offer a large selection of vegetarian dinners, although some of our stores are able to provide a soy/gluten substitute for chicken. Please call your local store well in advance of your session to find out if the soy/gluten substitute is available.

While Dream Dinners would love to provide organic meats and produce for our guests, these products are not readily available to all of our stores and are often cost-prohibitive. We do recognize that the availability of organic ingredients is growing and are watching the market very closely. Our goal is to provide great family dinners at prices affordable for all our guests.

Dream Dinners chicken is antibiotic and hormone free. However, we cannot guarantee that all of the meat products used in our meals are free of these ingredients. Dream Dinners food products are similar to those used in fine restaurants and other quality establishments.

Although we do not specifically offer "low-carb" menus, many of our guests who are decreasing their carbohydrate intake have found they are still able to make Dream Dinners work for them. By reviewing the nutritional information on our web site, they are able to choose those meals that are either lower in carbohydrates, or those that can be easily modified by making small substitutions, or by eliminating some of the higher carbohydrate ingredients.

We use low- to non-fat ingredients where we can, without compromising on taste. We also try to use leaner cuts of meat such as boneless, skinless chicken meat. Although we do not specifically offer low-fat menus, many of our guests who are decreasing their fat intake have found they are still able to make Dream Dinners work for them. By reviewing the nutritional information on our web site, they are able to choose those meals that are either lower in fat, or those that can be easily modified by making small substitutions or by eliminating some of the higher fat ingredients.

We offer a variety of meals each month that are prepared with seafood, various types of meat or no meat at all. Since we specifically pre-order all ingredients for each guest, they are able to substitute one type of protein for another. For example, if you would prefer to use chicken instead of beef that would be fine. We do ask that, prior to signing up for a session, you let your home store know of the substitution so they can order the extra ingredients for you. There may also be a small charge, depending on the cost of the ingredient substituted. Many guests enjoy the flexibility that Dream Dinners offers in allowing them to increase, decrease, or substitute ingredients to accommodate their family's tastes.

It is always a pleasure for us to assist our guests in making substitutions. However, Dream Dinners meals are tested in accordance with the recipes provided. Therefore any substitutions made may alter the taste and cooking instructions of our tested meals.

In compliance with the "Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004" please note that Dream Dinners' facilities may contain Dairy, Eggs, Crustacean Shellfish, Fish, Tree Nuts, Peanuts, Wheat, Soybeans and Sesame which account for most known allergens. Although Dream Dinners' store staff take appropriate safety measures, guests should be aware that cross contamination can occur among food products in store kitchens and at stations. The standard ingredients are available upon request from your local store, however, ingredient substitutions can be made at the store level due to regional availability. If guests feel that there may be a chance of allergens in any recipe, especially due to a pre-made ingredients, they need to call the store to ask for specific nutritional information.

The health and safety of guests and their families is of the utmost importance to Dream Dinners. To assist our guests in meeting their dietary requirements, we are pleased to offer nutritional information for every menu item. The nutritional information provided is based on 6-servings (unless otherwise specified.) For example, if one Dream Dinners meal was divided into 6 equal portions, the nutritional information is correct for one portion. It is always a pleasure to assist our guests. Ultimately though, we must leave it up to our guests to determine whether Dream Dinners meals, and the environment in which they are prepared will work for them, in light of their unique concerns.

Dream Dinners strives to provide nutritious, healthy meals. We use low- to non-fat ingredients where we can, without compromising on taste. Also, we try to use leaner cuts of meat, such as boneless, skinless, chicken breast. Our guests are welcome to add, eliminate or substitute for in-store ingredients and proteins to better accommodate their family's dietary needs. For example, if you would prefer to use chicken instead of beef that would be fine. We do ask that - prior to signing up for a session - you let your home store know of any protein substitutions, so they can order the extra ingredients for you. There may also be a small charge for protein substitutions, depending on the cost of the ingredient substituted.

Dream Dinners understands that the point system belongs to Weight Watchers. Therefore, we are unable to convert our nutritional information over to the Weight Watchers point system for our guests.

Dream Dinners is pleased to provide sodium, net carb and sugar information as part of our Nutritional information. In an effort to meet the needs of our guests, many Dream Dinners stores are offering lower-sodium ingredients such as sauces, soups and stocks. Call your local store to find out if these items are available. Find your stores cntact information by visiting our Locations page.

Dream Dinners would love to provide more kosher meats and produce for our guests. Presently though, all of our food products are supplied by Sysco Foods, which is a national food distributor. At this time, Sysco Foods does not carry a large selection of kosher food products. For Dream Dinners to purchase these types of foods from another vendor on a national level would result in substantially higher costs for our guests. Our goal is to provide great family dinners at prices affordable for all our guests.

Although Dream Dinners does not use preservatives in our recipes, there may be a small number of prepared ingredients (i.e., condiments, sauces, soups, etc.) used in our recipes which contain preservatives or monosodium glutamate (MSG). If MSG or preservatives are a concern for you, your local store will be happy to review recipe ingredients with you.
