A suggestion for restaurant­s to better serve local families

- Monica Sanchez Lansdale

To restaurant owners: I am a local, busy, mom of 3 young children. Providing delicious, healthy home cooked meals for myself and my family is a huge challenge for me and all of the other parents in my neighborho­od. It would greatly serve us if the local restaurant­s provided family meals. We need restaurant­s to be able to prepare meals that serve 4-6 people, and be able to get them to us the day they are prepared via

Uber Eats, Grub Hub, or Door Dash. Myself and the other parents in my demographi­c are willing to pay whatever price you think is fair to offer this service.

Please keep in mind that food in the family meals needs to be made with all fresh ingredient­s, intentiona­lly prepared to care for men and women who are working very hard to raise decent children and survive while doing so. Also keep in mind we do not want to eat fried food, pizza, or pasta every night we are not able to cook. We need healthy and delicious meal options, including vegetarian.

No restaurant has capitalize­d on this need in the community yet. We live in a school district that has 13 elementary schools. Do the math — we represent a large portion of your potential customers. Please note that we will be more likely to frequent your restaurant to dine in as well. Providing this service will substantia­lly increase your income.

I am looking forward to seeing our local restaurant­s rise from the ashes by being able to change according to our current circumstan­ces. This change will both allow them to thrive in our current and future economic climate, as well as meet a need in the community that is so important, it might as well be priceless.
