Who We Serve

Real food for your production floor, every shift

Your assemblers and technicians work shifts where there's no cafeteria and no time. We put fresh meals on-site, staged outside your clean zone.

The food problems unique to medtech and biotech teams

Generic catering and delivery apps were not built for this. Here is what actually gets in the way, and what we fix.

Gowning eats the break

Cleanroom workers have to gown out, eat, and gown back in, which can leave under 20 minutes of a 30-minute meal break for actually eating.

No food access on swing and graveyard

Where a cafeteria exists at all, it serves first shift only, leaving second and third shift with vending machines and fast food that closes at 10pm.

Contamination rules block the workarounds

FDA CGMP rules prohibit food at workstations in controlled areas, so keeping a snack at the line isn't an option; the only fix is a real meal in the break area.

Long commutes kill home meal prep

Production workers commuting 30-plus minutes from Perris, Hemet, or Fontana often leave before they can eat, and rotating shifts disrupt any prep routine.

How MHP serves Medical Device & Biotech

Three programs from one local Rancho Cucamonga kitchen. Pick one or combine them to cover every shift.

Catered lunches, staged at the dock

Recurring team lunches dropped off outside the cleanroom boundary, timed before shift change so incoming and outgoing crews both get fed.

A meal waiting outside the clean zone

A tap-to-open Smart Fridge in the break room gives swing and graveyard crews fresh meals 24/7, with no driver entering the controlled environment.

FAQ — Medical Device & Biotech

Common questions from Medical Device & Biotech leaders about bringing fresh, fully managed meals on-site.

Can you deliver without entering our cleanroom or controlled areas? +
Yes. We stage meals in the break area and stock the Smart Fridge outside the clean zone. No driver crosses your controlled environment, and food never reaches a workstation.
Can you cover swing and graveyard shifts? +
Yes. The Smart Fridge is available around the clock, and catered drops are timed to your shift-change windows so second and third shift aren't left with vending.
Do we have to sign a long-term contract? +
We don't start with a long-term contract. Most teams begin with a 30-day pilot that includes a week-2 cancel checkpoint — if it's not landing, you stop right there with no obligation for the rest of the month.
How is pricing structured? +
It depends on headcount, frequency, and which program fits your site. We quote to your worksite and can structure it as employer-funded, subsidized, or simple pay-per-meal. Send us an inquiry — we'll reach out to confirm fit and follow up with your rate within 24 hours. Better rates available for prepayment.
