How It Works

Family Table is here to provide busy families with meals ready to heat. Cutting out the shopping, prepping, cooking, and cleaning, Family Table allows families to have more time together. We strive to bring families back to the dinner table. With so many families busy with jobs, school, sports, band, and the everyday hassles of life, Family Table offers simplicity with dinner. Family Table has options for all size families; from the newlyweds with busy emerging careers to families that had one kid too many, Family Table will make dinner time easier.

Ordering

Start your Family Table order through our website or by phone at

(412) 406-6278. To order on our website go to the menu. We recommend ordering three meals a week to keep the meals fresh and allow your dinner time to be easier through the week. Family Table delivers meals twice a week: Monday so you can start the week fresh and not have to worry about dinner throughout the week, and Thursday so you can relax on the weekend. The top of the menu has a timer to show you when you have to order and the day you will receive your dinners. We offer three categories of dinner options: Family Favorites, Build Your Own Family Favorites, and A La Carte.

Family Favorites: Our specialty, Family Favorites are complete meals consisting of an entrée accompanied by two sides. Family Favorites rotate weekly, keeping your weekly meals fresh, new, and delicious. With these meals, Chef Mike is able to create unique recipes while also offering dinner classics everyone loves. Pick which meals look delicious and select how many servings you need; it is as simple as that!

Build Your Own Family Favorites: Here we offer our four main entrees from Family Favorites and four Al La Carte marinated meats to be combined with the choice of two sides creating your own Family Favorites meal. We understand that allergies, dietary preferences, and tastebuds restrict diets, therefore, we offer the option to build out your own meals with the ingredients we already offer. Simply choose your entrees and use the dropdown menus to select your sides and the amount of servings to feed your family.

A La Carte: All of our weekly options and more in one place. A La Carte allows you to add extra entrees, sides, grilled meats, soups, salads, and rolls to your weekly meals. If you have growing teenagers who want to eat all the time or would like to have grilled meat in the fridge to add to a simple lunch, A La Carte allows you to add more flexibility to your week.

Preparing

Unlike other Food delivery services, Family Table provides fully cooked, family-style meals that require no shopping, prepping, cooking, or cleaning. We strive to make dinner time as easy as possible, allowing our families to focus on family during dinner rather than another chore. We cook your family-style meals at our state of the art kitchen at Fulton Commons on the North Side. We then chill your meals in preparation for delivery.

Delivery or Pickup

Once your meals are chilled and ready for delivery, we pack your meals in insulated bags with ice packs to ensure safe delivery at below 40 degrees following FDA standards. To ensure your food is safe to eat, you must be home to receive your meals at delivery or leave an insulated cooler large enough with ice packs for your meals. We cannot by law leave your food without proper refrigeration because of the threat of food-borne illnesses. Once delivered, place your food in the refrigerator or freezer if you are not planning to reheat the meal within three days. We currently deliver to most of the Pittsburgh area with three zones of delivery. You can see your zone at checkout. We also offer limited pickup at our Kitchen on Mondays and Thursdays by appointment.

Heating and Eating

To heat, follow the cardstock label provided for each meal. We offer heating instructions for both a preheated oven and cold oven. Please remember every oven is different and times may vary. Always reheat your food to 165 degrees to ensure safe consumption. Most importantly, enjoy your food, family, and time! Our heating instructions can be found below!
