iCooked Launches Pilot Monthly Delivery Service

At iCooked, we believe where you live shouldn't determine the quality, variety, or nutritional value of the meals available to you. Over the past 12 months, we've received a growing number of enquiries from people throughout the South Burnett asking if we could bring our home-delivered meals to their community.

The message was clear: residents wanted more choice.

That's why we're excited to announce a pilot monthly delivery service to the South Burnett region.

Monthly Deliveries to Kingaroy and Nanango

As part of this pilot program, iCooked will deliver to Kingaroy and Nanango on the second Wednesday of each month.

Our next delivery is scheduled for:

Wednesday, 11 November

To ensure your meals are prepared, packed, and loaded for delivery, orders must be received by:

12:00pm Tuesday, 10 November

Deliveries are expected to arrive after 10:30am on delivery day.

Why Are We Running This Trial?

The answer is simple.

We have been receiving increasing numbers of enquiries from people across the South Burnett who are looking for an alternative to the limited meal options currently available in the region.

As a family-owned Queensland business, we listened.

The Thompson family, who own iCooked, originally hale from the South Burnett, where they were dairy farmers near Nanango. Many family members and lifelong friends still live throughout the region, making this service particularly meaningful to us.

We know there is demand. Now we need the community's support to make the service viable long-term.

Help Us Expand the Service

Initially, deliveries will be available in Kingaroy and Nanango.

If enough interest is generated, we would love to expand the service further through:

• Wondai
• Murgon
• Goomeri

The more people who order, the greater the opportunity for us to extend our delivery route and provide greater meal choice across the entire South Burnett region.

If you know someone who may benefit from our service, please share this article with your family, friends, neighbours, support workers, and carers.

How Many Meals Should I Order?

A minimum order of seven meals applies for South Burnett deliveries.

However, we recommend ordering enough meals to comfortably get you through the month.

A good rule of thumb is:

• Keep two meals in the refrigerator defrosting.
• Store the remainder in your freezer.
• Order an amount that suits both your appetite and available freezer space.

The good news is that iCooked meals can be stored in your freezer for up to 12 months, providing flexibility and convenience whenever you need it.

Freshly Cooked, Not Mass Produced

At iCooked, we do things differently.

Our menu changes seasonally to take advantage of the best produce available throughout the year. Wherever possible, we source ingredients locally and prepare our meals in small batches to ensure freshness and quality.

Each new seasonal menu is independently assessed by Healthy Lifestyles Australia before launch, helping us ensure our meals continue to meet high nutritional standards.

We are also proud that our meals aim to provide more than 30 grams of protein per serve, supporting healthy ageing, recovery, and wellbeing.

Catering for Special Dietary Requirements

We understand that one size does not fit all.

Our range includes options suitable for:

• Gluten Free
• Dairy Free
• No Onion / No Garlic
• Low Sodium diets

Comprehensive nutritional information is available on our website and is also clearly displayed on every meal label.

Supporting Aged Care and NDIS Participants

iCooked works with many of Australia's leading aged care providers and care management organisations, including:

• Lutheran Services
• BlueCare
• TrilogyCare

We are also an NDIS Ready meal provider.

Whether you're self-managed, plan-managed, supported through Home Care Packages, Support at Home services, or purchasing privately, we're happy to discuss options that work for your circumstances.

Ordering is Easy

We like to offer our customers choice in everything we do.

Orders can be placed:

• By phone (our preferred option)
• Via email
• By text message
• Through our online store

If you're already receiving deliveries, our driver can even take your next order while they're visiting.

Flexible Payment Options

We offer several payment methods to suit your preferences:

• Credit card over the phone
• Cash on delivery
• Credit card on delivery
• Invoice with direct bank transfer

Again, it's all about giving you options.

Friendly Service Right to Your Freezer

Our service doesn't stop at your front door.

All iCooked delivery drivers are police checked for your peace of mind and safety.

If required, they can:

• Carry heavy meal boxes into your home
• Unpack meals directly into your freezer
• Remove packaging for recycling or reuse

It's the little things that can make a big difference.

Better for the Environment

We're committed to reducing waste wherever possible.

Unlike many meal delivery providers, we do not use polystyrene packaging. Our packaging is environmentally friendly, reusable where possible, and designed with sustainability in mind.

Join Us as We Grow in the South Burnett

We're excited to bring greater meal choice, nutritional support, and personalised service to the South Burnett community.

This trial has been created because local residents asked for it. The success of the service will depend on community support.

If you've been looking for nutritious, home-style frozen meals delivered to your door, now is the perfect time to give iCooked a try.

Place your order before 12:00pm Tuesday, 10 November and receive delivery on Wednesday, 11 November.

Together, let's show that the South Burnett deserves more choice when it comes to quality home-delivered meals.
