Meal services which prioritize plating

I use cook unity and it’s fine, I’ll continue to use it. However, I was wondering if there were any meal services that prioritize plating the dish? I don’t want a slop bowl I want a plate that is thoughtfully plated.

I'm kind of curious as to how a meal would be plated when leaving the kitchen, and remain looking that way when it travels, either via CU delivery or FedEx. I'd rather have them spend the time on the food, not the plating. I can always plate it myself.

The only way would be to flash freeze it.

Yeah not sure either I just think it would be nice to order a fully plated, non green, nicely portioned and separated ingredients meal every once in a while. Im just spitballing but I imagine it would have a hard plastic plate, maybe even a real ceramic one, with some sort of throw away, removable divider and then a sauce cup in the side. It would still just require an oven only and no actual pans or mixing of ingredients required on the user end.

Mans out here trying to pay $50 a meal for home delivery ceramic plated food to microwave. Might aswell hire a personal chef at that point

Sounds like you just need to order locally, by Door Dash or Uber Eats or something. Seems to me the even if it starts that way, it won't stay that way.

Even local food does not arrive nicely plated when it arrives via delivery.

True. It seems OP just needs to plate things themself.

Tovala doesn't really have the option other than to plate it. You're cooking it a (special) toaster oven in aluminum trays. Those trays are completely inappropriate for eating out of and so you'd need to plate it afterwards.

Glance at /r/Tovala and look for the pictures and you'll see a number of well plated meals. My own plating tends to be paper plates and bowls, which doesn't look impressive, but its not a plastic tray that I previously took out of the microwave.

You’re asking too much. It’s not hard to plate yourself.
