What happens when I refer a friend?

Yes, it works like this... when you refer a friend (that is a new registrant) and he/she registers for the same session as you, you will receive 15% of the value of your friends registration in the form of a gift certificate for that referral as our way of saying thank you ($15 for every $100 spent, to be used at that location on your next visit). You will also be eligible to receive additional bonuses for each person that you refer. For example, if three of your friends, each new to Designed Dinners, register for and attend a session with you, you’ll receive the same 15% for their total orders (i.e. three friends spend a combined amount of $450; we'll give you a gift certificate with a value of $67.50!). We simply ask that you put the name(s) of your friend in the comment box on page three of the four step registration process at the time of registration.

How does this work?

Your first visit will be to our interactive web site, www.designeddinners.com, where you will register as a first time guest and choose your home store. Next, you will do the fun part; you'll choose your session date and select your entrées from the menu of 18 items presented each month by your Personal Executive Chef, Bruce Pinkerton. You will come to our kitchen at the date and time you have selected, where everything will be ready for you to begin. You'll be done with the final assembly of your dinners in less than two hours, and not only leave with great meals, you will also leave with the satisfaction of knowing that you put them together yourself.

How is the Belltown, Seattle store different?

Our Belltown location is an "assembly only or pick up only" store. This location will not have our traditional store set-up, but will offer the ultimate in urban convenience. Simply choose the time and date most suitable with your schedule to pick up your order, choose your menu and complete your registration. On step three of the simple four step registration, there is a comment box to put any special instructions. Your order will be available for pick-up two hours after the scheduled session time, or by arrangement.


How much freezer space will I need?

8 entrées with 4 servings each is about the size of two and a half shoeboxes and are generally packages in Ziploc freezer bags so can be made to fit smaller spaces.



Is the Designed Dinners experience expensive?

This service is designed to work within your current food budget. We believe you will find our program will not only reduce your overall food expenditures, but it will also provide you with very high quality meals. Our entrées are priced individually priced at $3 - $7 a serving, please simply click the menu tab and then select your store for complete pricing details.



Too busy to attend one of our sessions? Let us assemble it for you!

We'll be happy to do the work for you. For an additional fee we'll prepare your entrées from your menu selections and have them ready for you to pick up. Just register for a session as close to the actual time/date you'd like your order then on step 3 of the easy 4 step registration process just click the assembly option. Even easier, register for one of our "pick-up orders only" sessions and your order will be ready for pick up any time up to two hours after the session start time. Still no time? We'll deliver them to your home (contact us for delivery boundaries).   It doesn't get any easier than that, delivery cost varies between stores and is posted on step 3 of the registration process.

What about my kids?

At Designed Dinners, part of the experience is that the entire family will be trying new things. We believe kids should be given the opportunity and encouraged to try new foods. However, most of our entrees are, or can easily be made, kid friendly as the sauces are mostly packaged on the side. That way you'll avoid dinner table meltdown!

What do I need to bring?

You will need to bring a cooler to transport your meals back to your home (unless you have chosen pick up). If you don't have one, we normally have a box available that you can use to pack them in. Everything else you need we provide. You will want to wear comfortable clothes that could potentially get dirty. We do provide aprons, but it's a kitchen, your enjoying a glass of wine...

We require at least 5 day's, notice to cancel and or reschedule. In advance of 5 day's please contact the store where you are registered for refund processing.
