SPI 201: How Chef Allison Schaaf Built a Newsletter-Based Business—The Story of PrepDish

My guest today has built a seriously amazing business model. I would know. I’m a fan of it myself! Allison Schaaf took something she loves—helping people create amazing meals in their own homes—and turned it into a profitable and sustainable business called PrepDish.com.

PrepDish subscribers receive meal plans with everything they need to shop for and prepare a week’s worth of delicious meals, all carefully selected by Allison, who happens to be a chef.

This model has given Allison incredible freedom in scaling and sustaining her online business. She’s here today to share how her business was born, how she runs it, and how she maintains a close connection to the community it has created.

I know how much you guys appreciate success stories like Allison’s, and I’m so excited for you to hear her journey.
