Hi there!

We are trying to determine the value of a new service we'd like to provide to help home cooks better plan for parties they are hosting, as well as their own weekly meals.

In this survey, you will be asked questions about what you find the most stressful about food preparation, how a time-saving and cost-saving service can help, and whether or not you would find some of the services useful. It will take approximately 3-5 minutes to complete the questionnaire.

Your participation in this study is completely voluntary but we would love your opinion! Your survey responses will be strictly confidential and data from this research will be reported only in the aggregate.

Thank you very much for your time and support. Please start with the survey now by clicking on the Next button below.
