Chefgood vs Youfoodz: Delivery
Chefgood:
Chefgood offer delivery to your workplace or your home. Each delivery will come in ice packs, so if you aren’t home when your delivery arrives – the food won’t spoil. When you get your first delivery, you automatically opt into weekly deliveries, so if you have a busy life, you can rest assured you won’t have to worry about the grocery shopping. Your order renews every Wednesday and you will receive your order between Saturday – Tuesday. You also get SMS reminders about your orders, so you can keep track of when your next delivery will be.
For me personally, I found that Chefgood would deliver to my area which being regional QLD, Lower Wonga was amazing as we are often outside most food delivery service area. Check your area >
Youfoodz:
Youfoodz offer same-day delivery in popular areas, however if you live in a more rural area, you may find that Youfoodz don’t deliver to you. Similar to Chefgood, Youfoodz also have the option to have a recurring order, however with Youfoodz, you can do weekly, fortnightly or even monthly! Whatever suits you. There was limited information about delivery on the Youfoodz website.
Winner: Chefgood!
When it came to ordering online, Chefgood provided an easier process when it came to organising a delivery, I actually found when using Youfoodz the website would keep glitching and I couldn’t actually make an order. Youfoodz also don’t deliver to my area, but I can find their meals at our local petrol station if I did want some though. Chefgood has an easier process, especially with the SMS notification, making it a lot easier to keep track of where my delivery is and when to expect its arrival.

Winner: Youfoodz
Youfoodz have such a large product range, they had to be the winner for sure! They have really set out to make sure that those with specific diets or calories can still achieve their goals while eating yummy food. I love the idea of the custom calorie selector, it makes it easy and simple. However Youfoodz lost points for not having vegan options, you would have to select Vegetarian and minus Eggs and Dairy to get a listing, Chefgood has that covered however. This brings us to the next part of our comparison.

Youfoodz:
Youfoodz had a very limited range of vegan meals, actually I only found 1!
-
- Loaded lentil Lasagne – 396 calories
Winner: Chefgood!
This one was a pretty obvious winner, definitely Chefgood! So if you are looking for a meal delivery service that has vegan meals, have a look at Chefgood! Their range did have some variety, which was great! Vegan meals, as well as meal delivery friendly ones can be hard to come by. It’s disappointing that Youfoodz don’t have more of a friendly vegan range, but maybe they are slowly working on it. Who knows!
Overall:
It really depends on what you are looking for in a meal delivery service. Overall, I think that both Chefgood and Youfoodz have positives and negatives. If you are looking for vegan friendly options, I definitely recommend checking out Chefgood, but if you are looking for variety in meals, that can span through your entire day – I would recommend Youfoodz. Both are great, and can make like just a little bit easier.
