DinnerCall lets you order pre-made meals from your grocery store

DinnerCall, a mobile marketplace app for family dinners, is allowing users to order pre-made or ready-to-eat meals from their local grocery stores. This app is also designed to help grocers meet their quota of selling fresh food.

Healthier food options are more in demand than ever, and as people spend more hours at work, many are are too tired to cook a nutritional meal after a long day. This leads to the unhealthy consumption of fast food for dinner. DinnerCall is a service that takes away the stress of wondering what’s for dinner by giving you the ability to order pre-made meals from your local grocery store. 

With DinnerCall, families have the option of choosing ready-to-eat meals, which consist of an entree, side, vegetable side, baked bread, and dessert, or preparing their own meals with pre-measured ingredients. After choosing your meal of choice, pay through the app and indicate a specific pick-up time. When arriving at the grocery store, simply give them a call and the food will be delivered to your car.

“In the last 12 years, I’ve seen firsthand the challenges and opportunities for innovation in the grocery prepared meal space. Grocery has the infrastructure to provide a delicious dinnertime solution to millions of households each day, they simply need the technology to profitably execute on this opportunity,” said co-founder and CEO of DinnerCall Gerry Hays. “Engaging families outside the store when they are thinking about tonight’s dinner creates a new daily revenue stream with zero food waste.”

DinnerCall gives grocery stores the opportunity to meet its growing demand for fresh food. “With DinnerCall, we are able to close dinnertime sales before we even start cooking for the day,” said Judson Naifeh, CEO of Naifeh’s Food Store. The technology allows the company to meet the high demands of dinnertime with convenient and affordable family-style options.

DinnerCall’s mobile commerce platform will be launching in select grocers some time this month. The app is now available on the App Store and Google Play.

Few things ruin a quiet evening faster than a robot vacuum roaring through the living room. Most of us end up pausing the cleaning run, which defeats the whole purpose of owning one. Matic thinks it has the answer with its new Serene robot vacuum, and the big selling point is how little noise it makes.

The Matic Serene runs at 52 decibels even when cleaning at full power. To put that in perspective, Matic compares it to the hum of your refrigerator. It is available now for $1,695, which is $200 more than the original Matic’s current price.

Outdoor security cameras are not always practical if you live in an apartment or rental. Drilling into an exterior wall may be off-limits, while pointing a regular indoor camera through a window can create another problem once reflections start showing up after dark.

Baseus is trying to solve both issues with the new PrimeSentinel W1, a $69.99 security camera designed specifically to monitor the outdoors through glass. It mounts directly to a window without drilling and uses a 4K Starlight sensor with an F1.0 aperture for full-color monitoring during the day and at night.
