APEX Precision Nutrition is building a current kind of nutrition and performance company.
We help busy professionals, executives and performance-minded individuals eat according to their goals by taking care of one of the hardest parts: actually preparing the food.
Our Meal Prep Specialists visit our shared-use commercial kitchen once per week and prepare clients their APEX-designed meal plan. Recipes, quantities and portion requirements are provided by us. Your job is to execute the plan efficiently, accurately and professionally.
This is not a traditional personal-chef position. You are not expected to create menus or calculate nutrition plans. APEX provides the system—you prepare it exceptionally well.
What You'll Do
During a typical client appointment, you will:
- Arrive at the shared-use commercial kitchen prepared and on-time
- Review the provided APEX meal-preparation instructions
- Prepare approximately 3–5 standardized recipes (21-35 meals) for the client's upcoming week
- Cook multiple foods simultaneously and efficiently
- Accurately weigh and portion prepared food according to provided instructions
- Package and organize completed meals
- Follow proper food-safety and sanitation procedures
- Clean cookware, appliances and preparation areas used during the appointment
- Leave the client's kitchen better than you found it
- Treat the shared-use commercial kitchen, belongings and privacy with exceptional care
- Develop relationship for long term clientele goals
Appointments are scheduled for up to three hours. Some experienced Specialists may complete the work sooner.
You are still paid for the full three-hour appointment when the required work is completed correctly in less time.
We reward efficient, organized work—not dragging out the clock.
