Melting Moments Meals’ Valued Clients
Good Morning,
I hope that this email finds you well.
Like you, and indeed all Australians, we have recently been forced to come to terms with the challenges of a rapidly-changing landscape in response to the recent Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The massive and unforeseeable increase in demand resulting from the pandemic, as well as from the recent bushfires, flooding, and the ongoing drought, has resulted in a substantial increase in prices for all food ingredients, most especially for meat and vegetables, where they are available.
In order to continue to provide the balanced, nourishing, and nutritious meals we have proudly supplied for many years, we wish to inform you, as a valued client, of several changes we have been required to make to our services.
First, due to the unavailability of some key ingredients, we have been forced to temporarily remove some menu items from our ordering list. We will continue our attempts to source the items concerned, and will advise you as soon as we are able to return to our usual menu.
Second, due to the extreme nature of the price rises we have so far attempted to absorb, in some cases double or more the usual rates, we are faced with temporarily instituting a $2.00 surcharge to our main meals, and a $1.00 surcharge to our mini meals. All other items, soups, desserts, etc, will remain unchanged.
Aside from these minor changes, which we will do our best to ensure are in place for the shortest time possible, we wish to assure you that we will be carrying on business as usual. We have received many emails and telephone calls recently from concerned clients seeking to order meals in advance or in bulk, and we wish to reassure you that this is totally unnecessary. We have absolutely no intention at all to cease our meal preparation or our deliveries, and we cannot foresee any circumstances at this time which would alter this.
For further information about COVID-19 and how to best manage your risks, we recommend that you visit the Department of Health and Human Services Website.
We thank you for your understanding during this difficult period, and on behalf of all at Melting Moments Meals, we wish you continued good health and happiness.
Kindest regards,
Mary, Elle, and the MM Team x
