The dad who doesn’t have time to cook at home launches meal set service with recipes straight from the restaurant

A single dad who doesn’t have enough time to cook home-cooked meals has become the founder of a multi-million dollar food subscription service empire.

Billy Green, from Melbourne, tried several meal delivery kits during the city’s first grueling Covid shutdown of 2020 – but was unimpressed with the quality.

The 30-year-old believes he can do even better and plans to work with restaurants to give customers the opportunity to cook high-quality meals at home.

He launched Make-Out Meals in September 2020 while working full time from home as chief marketing officer. Today, the company is worth an estimated $5 million.
