During COVID-19, the food supply problem has been twofold: getting the food from the farmers, fishers and wholesalers, then getting the meat and seafood to the people. For now, we are still faced with some shortages. As if people haven’t had enough stress throughout the pandemic, contending with limited supplies of certain foods has made life more complicated still.

 

So, how can you make sure you still get your favourite food products? The answer lies in using a food service company that leverages the best ten-letter word; reputation.

We’ve all experienced it; someone else gets the ‘limited something’ before us, just because they have a friend or a connection. If you’re lucky enough to be on the winning end of this equation, it can feel pretty good.

Is it happening now in every industry during this time of COVID? Probably.

Because of the pandemic, some limits are unavoidable like price increases and limited shipments. However, a benefit to you for using long-standing companies is their pull and their favourable position within that industry.

 

‘Sounds like it’s time for someone to call in the favours.’

 

Home-Tyme has almost three decades of solid and loyal connections with the top food processors in the country. While many newer suppliers have faced shortages, our longevity and connections ensure an uninterrupted supply.

 

Wherever you live, between Toronto and Windsor, we will get you what you need.

 

Home-Tyme was doing ‘Always Free Delivery’ before free delivery was cool!

 

But, hey, how did the meat shortage and food supply channel reductions happen?

Supply chain breakdowns, sky-high shipping costs and many other shortages brought on by COVID-19 have created a reluctance by manufacturers and suppliers to be anything other than cautious about shipping the full roster of food products.

  • Early on, some food production facilities were closed due to COVID-19 outbreaks among workers.
  • The termination of some commercial and economic activity affected industries like corrugated cardboard, necessary to package anything; in turn, this slowed the movement of food products.
  • Changes to workplace conditions like required distancing due to COVID-19 slowed production.
  • Alterations to people’s lifestyles affected their abilities to shop.
  • Food supply channels have been altered, particularly in the shipping industry.
  • Closures of food processing facilities.
  • Food security, especially for meat and poultry handling, was slowed due to a shortage of labourers, with physical distancing forcing different handling procedures and slower food conveyance.
  • With no way to sell their livestock to processing plants, the higher customer demand for meats and a decline in the supply channel led to price increases. The period of inactivity due to closures affected the supply, storage, packaging and distribution of meats and seafood.
  • Seafood, mainly, is often transported between countries on cargo ships. Shipping charges have increased, again due to fewer workers and a higher demand for shipments.
  • A grain shortage for cattle feed has lowered the movement of beef.
  • Even paper product shortages mean limited packaging, for everything, availability.

 

According to an article by Canada’s CTV News, Sylvain Charlebois, a professor in food distribution and policy at Nova Scotia’s Dalhousie University, says:

  • ‘Global food supply chains have been greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Costs have gone up,’ he said. ‘That’s the reality for packaging, logistics (shipping), everything, and if you’ve noticed, the price of oil has gone up, and so to move things around, it costs more as well.’
  • Canada saw: ‘An 8% reduction in (chicken) production for January 2021 compared to a year earlier (CFO, 2021). Volatility in the sector remains, and the pace of reopening has driven boards to take ‘balanced’ approaches to decisions on allocation, weighing the risk of future demand for the duration of the pandemic with the need to ensure adequate domestic supply without the flexibility of policy tools like incentive days in dairy.’ – Citation 1

Food delivery can be a very low-margin business, and we recently found out that likely all of them, at least DoorDash, UberEats and Grubhub, have been losing money for years.

 

On the Wall Street Journal podcast episode ‘Can Food Delivery Make Money?’ June 9, 2021, none of the companies discussed, posted gains during the pandemic.

 

‘Billions of dollars from venture capital money provided the start-up money for these companies. However, even with their growth thru COVID, the math doesn’t add up.

These companies are pivoting away from just-food delivery in their search for profits’, explains Wall Street Journal’s Preetika Rana on the podcast.

 

Most of that venture capital money goes to online, television and other media advertising, discounts, insurance, credit card processing, and refunds from mistakes. And all that has driven down profits of these food delivery businesses.

 

Refunds make up a large chunk of these third-party food delivery costs, but what good is a refund when the improper delivery of frozen food could result in someone getting sick?

 

By partnering with large companies like Walmart or 7-11 and moving to a standard delivery company format, the bulk of those costly expenditures are put onto the larger corporation:

 

 

Are we inviting greater risks to public health with unregulated temperature control of freelance food-delivery? What is the cost to corporate ethics?

 

‘They must learn to reduce human error.’

 

Even with venture capital funding, if third-party food delivery does not pan out, their next pivot of adding dry goods to their freelancers’ delivery list of hot food, cold food and most importantly frozen food, may add predictable chaos to our public health system.

 

Adding longer shopping times to a  longer list of deliverables means your frozen food spends a longer time in a portable cooler.

 

Driving down their competitors’ profits by metaphorically living in the basements of their large-company and venture capital parents’ will impact everyone’s bottom line. What about their competitors who must upkeep freezer truck fleets, maintain insurance costs, government-regulated high quality delivery, and employee wages?

 

These are the higher costs that cannot not be compromised.

 

Third-party food delivery companies gain profits by using a freelance system of self-employment with drivers that must use their own vehicles and pay for their own insurance and taxes.

 

According to Middlesex-London Health Unit, the prerequisites for delivering foods by third-party / freelance or sole-delivery drivers are as follows:

 

  • Hot foods must be kept at 15 degrees.
  • Cold foods must be kept at 4 degrees or lower.
  • Frozen foods must be maintained in a frozen state.

That’s it. No law says that a third-party / freelance driver must even carry a thermometer. 

 

Proper freezer conditions are government regulated for all commercially transported frozen food, so why are the rules not the same for third-party, freelance, frozen food delivery?

 

‘The use of portable coolers only slows down the inevitable warming of cold and frozen food’

– David Cline, Home-Tyme Foodservices

 

A driver, Gary Cormier of Kitchener, for ‘UberEats and DoorDash explains they quickly accepted him with proof of his personal insurance. However, if he had a collision while delivering for these companies, he is not covered by his insurance company.’ Read the whole CBC News article by Paula Duhatschek.

Most personal auto insurance policies do not allow the use of private vehicles for food or package delivery. The upkeep of a vehicle is a considerable cost about which drivers try not to think.

Self-employed delivery drivers’ costs include paying their own insurance and CPP premiums while delivering. Joanne Weiner of the Washington Post lays them out in her article ‘The hidden costs of being an Uber driver.’

 

The related high overturn of freelance delivery means more human error. And that may be bad news for frozen food.

How long can a frozen state be maintained in a cooler?

 

Training freelance drivers about temperature control and delivery timing with the introduction of various products is improbable at most.

 

In a scenario where a courier realizes that the lid for your frozen food has been knocked off during a 45-minute trip, that person may not let you know. Especially if they are committed to more deliveries, they might cross their fingers while handing you your semi-frozen food.

 

The odds tell us when food delivery companies begin mixing the delivery of frozen foods with dry goods and hot restaurant food conditions are likely to get confusing at times, especially at the end of a hot summer day in a vehicle without AC. Are drivers required to have functioning ACs?

 

 

Is there a simpler recipe for the success of frozen food delivery?

 

‘We’re not just delivering a cardboard box; we’re delivering a cardboard box that is frozen and needs to stay frozen at all times.’

Home-Tyme owner for nearly 30 years, David Cline

 

Using government approved thermometers, licensing, and regulated running equipment, Home-Tyme ensures the proper freezer temperature of our walk-in freezers and our delivery vehicles’ reefer containers.

 

You can feel confident about your specialty meat, seafood and frozen meal delivery.

 

Experience is the most critical factor to successful frozen food delivery. When your order is placed, every effort is made to contact you within three hours. Our employees double-check your order and deliver it first and foremost, at the proper temperature.

 

  • Quality service is preferred over rushing orders out the door.
  • Most orders are delivered within a day or two.
  • Reducing our environmental footprint is done by bundling deliveries.
  • The costs and upkeep associated with our fleet of delivery vehicles have been in place for nearly thirty years.
  • Proper equipment, that ensures regulated frozen temperatures, costs thousands of dollars.
  • Running equipment means our frozen foods are frozen any number of hours later. Drivers are not working against the clock with their deliveries.

Home-Tyme Food Services provides free delivery ANYWHERE from Windsor to Toronto. We’ve been at it for nearly thirty years.

Give us a call at (519) 691 1333 to try our quality menu of offerings.

As it turns out, the answer is no meat and seafood delivery service has a 5-star review. However, there are a few meat and seafood delivery services that impressively get above 4.5 stars. Home-Tyme  is one of them.

Both positive and negative reviews are beneficial for you to read. It is realistic to assume that most businesses will one day be visited by a customer having an off day or a legitimate concern. How a business responds to its lesser review is the important point to keep in mind.

 

When did the practice of star reviews for online businesses develop?

Before the internet, we relied on friends and family to give their unbiased opinions about a local business.

According to Shopper Approved, the first online reviews showed up in 1999, self-introduced by big online sellers like eBay. Review companies became a thing after the popularity of online discussion groups where shoppers compared companies, and by 2002, a little company called Google purchased these online consumer discussion groups. Many current review based websites come with varying degrees of their own business drama while providing you with platforms to leave your business reviews and opinions.

 

So, what does it actually take to get an almost-5-star-review?

Since we are talking about meat and seafood delivery companies in Ontario, let’s look at one of the top-rated companies, Home-Tyme Food Services based out of the ‘island of a city’ we love to call London, Ontario.

Home-Tyme Food Services has been around for 30 years, which has probably given them a considerable edge over newer delivery companies. They have the honour to be reviewed as one of the top food delivery companies and have been around longer than most millennials.

 

Excellent customer service is the number one way to get top reviews.

When things get hectic it helps to have years of systems in place that allow the customer’s needs to stay on top, even with last minute orders.

An actual online Home-Tyme 5-star review: ‘Fantastic products, great service and great prices! Fully trust this place to feed my young family! No better place in London! Super convenient and knowledgeable staff and even able to facilitate gluten free options for my wife’s dietary needs! Five stars across the board!!!!’

An actual online Home-Tyme 5-star review: ‘We’ve been a customer of Home Tyme for a few years now and love the haddock…great for BBQ season! Also just started getting steaks too. Fantastic!! Great customer service too, even when we call at the last minute’

 

 

Diversity and quality of products make for efficient shopping and keeps customers satisfied and feeling they are important.

Knowing what your customers are looking for and sourcing those products is a no-brainer. But like everything, it can take time, money and effort to find suppliers with whom you feel comfortable and can trust. In addition, finding consistent quality, especially important for specialty meats, seafoods, pre-made appetizers and dinner-entrées, sometimes takes years of trial and error.

An actual online Home-Tyme 5-star review: ‘This place carries the best quality meat, fish, seafood, pork, chicken, appetizers and everything in between they have the same steak that the keg Steak house but without the high price, scallops are amazing right from NS they are huge!! They also have organic and gluten-free products. They bring the food right to your home door for free!! All the people there have so much experience and are very nice, their return policy is great if you not happy with something. They are also happy to disclose where they products come from. You must try it!’

An actual online Home-Tyme 5-star review: ‘Their meat is amazing! I regularly buy the 10 Oz new york strip, they are perfect. Even well done they are amazing. The bbq chicken is also a favorite in my house. The best part about those is they are boneless with the skin on! We love that, can’t find chicken like that anywhere else. It is so moist nd good. There is a little bit of seasoning on them. But not over done. Seafood is great too. We have bought the beer battered fish, tiger prawns, butterfly shrimp, crab legs ad the large garlic shrimp and they are all fantastic. Top quality meat for a reasonable price. I hate buying meat at a grocery store now. I highly recommend home-tyme. I buy a bunch of meat from them in one shot which adds up quick, but then in the long run it works out ‘cause I don’t need to buy meet for a month or two. Our driver is friendly and helpful. He always has everything I want and more’

 

 

Friendly delivery drivers /sales reps are also a source for 5-star reviews.

Any time you connect with another human is an opportunity to represent yourself in a brilliant way. Moments when we recognize authentic caring from another person makes us feel valued and respected as a customer. And nowadays we usually reward that caring with a 5-star online review.

An actual online Home-Tyme 5-star review:Just tried the tenderloin steaks and they were amazing. Great value and great quality. The driver was very helpful and courteous. A definite do-over!’

An actual online Home-Tyme 5-star review:I Have been a faithful customer since 2014 when I first heard about Home-tyme foodservices I always have a good experience, the quality of food is amazing, I am fan of the NY 10 oz. Same steak from The Keg at a very good price! My kids love the Gluten free chicken fingers and my husband loves the Wild Salmon and Shrimp.
I also love the great service of James our sales rep. who is always so nice and polite.
A few of my neighbors in the Riverbend area got the Gluten Free Haddock and they loved it too I need to try it next time’.

Other people’s positive opinions help to relieve our shopper’s anxiety of handing our hard-earned cash over to a new business. In addition, reviews are a way to encourage new customers, ultimately repeating the customer trust / positive-review cycle.

 

 

Home-Tyme Food Services has been providing your free delivery of quality food from Windsor to Toronto, and all places in between for thirty years, and it looks like they’ll be delivering for thirty more.

Want some ideas for next week’s meals? Give them a call for delivery at 519-691-1333 or 1-866-449-0299, or check out their website, home-tyme.com.

As we enter the late spring to early summer perch season, let’s celebrate the once abundant, forever-darling, Yellow Perch fish of Lake Erie with our favourite recipe.

Forks may come out when deciding between a beer or a light flour battered perch, a perfect reason to try both recipes.  These quick frying, small fish are perfect for your springtime fish-fry.

 

Yellow Lake Perch, once plentiful in our Great Lakes, struggles to mature each year; the continual increase of zebra and quagga mussels compete for precious zooplankton, the food of the emerging young perch and other native fishes.

 

These mussel species were introduced into our Great Lakes around 1990 and unfortunately there does not seem to be an answer to this plight; native fish numbers will continue to diminish. Learn how you can help.

 

85% of Ontario’s smaller Yellow Lake perch come out of Lake Erie, which is the perch we offer at Home-Tyme. As we struggle to accept a yearly 20% reduction of the commercial perch fishing quota, Home-Tyme has sourced a European perch that matches our Yellow Lake Erie perch in its delicate and sweet flavouring.

 

Increased costs due to the limited and distant supply, and high demand of Yellow Lake Erie perch are unavoidable.

 

 

Put in your Yellow Lake Erie perch and European perch order now for your Home-Tyme delivery.

 

Yellow Lake Erie perch is loved for its moist sweetness, perfect when pan-fried in your choice of flour or a beer batter. It can be deep-fried or broiled in the oven if you prefer, and goes perfectly with fries, coleslaw, and lemon.

 

 

Recipe – Sweet Yellow Lake Erie Perch

Ingredients:

  • 4-5 small, flash-frozen, Home-Tyme Yellow Lake Erie perch fillets per person
  • Vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • Flour
  • Added warm beer for the beer batter version

 

Flour Batter:

  • Add flour, black pepper and a small amount of salt to a large Ziploc bag, approximately ¼ cup batter per fillet

Beer Batter:

  • Combine flour, salt and pepper in a bowl. Whisk in enough beer until the mixture is frothy but still thick
  • Refrigerate the batter for 1 hour in the fridge

Directions:

  • Remove the skin prior to coating if preferred
  • Shake the fillets in the bag of coating mix
  • Heat your frypan
  • Add 1 inch or more of vegetable oil to the frypan and heat until the oil is hot
  • Do not let the fillets touch for a better browning result
  • Turn the fillets after 2-3 minutes on each side, when they are golden brown
  • Place them on paper towels to blot the excess oil

One of the most significant adjustments made during the COVID pandemic has been that of home delivery of absolutely everything. Because of this, many original walk-in grocery stores and restaurants have taken up the challenge of food delivery.

 

We all love a restaurant meal, but not every cooked meal translates well when delivered. You can have the same restaurant-quality meat, seafood, or fully cooked meat courses, delivered frozen. They can be heated and ready to eat in 20 minutes. At a third of the cost, with no concern for taxes or tips, the seafood and meat delivery business is more popular now than ever before. The advantages for you include convenience and the assurance of your safety through contactless shopping. 

 

How can you buy food in bulk?

 

If you are a first-time buyer, it may feel unfamiliar to understand the process of ordering. A simple ordering system is important. You are welcome to phone or through Home-Tyme’s online shop, choose the products that appeal to you and add them to your online cart. It’s as simple as that. Each kind of meat or seafood is already divided into small portions; you can easily increase the number of portions as you like.

 

Existing clients have been grateful for the ease of ordering and dependable service during COVID19.

  •         “My husband, C and I have been dealing with Home Time Foods for a few years now. Our sales rep is Rob King and we can not be more pleased. Rob is passionate about the food he sells and it shows. When this pandemic hit, we were very fortunate to have a sales rep that cared so much about us, the customers.  He has always been extremely careful about sanitation and wearing his mask. He was wearing a mask before it became a mandatory thing.  He said that he was protecting us and you could tell that meant a lot to him. He wanted his customers to feel safe and protected and we sure did.  He has done and continues to do an amazing job at ensuring the safety of his customers and his product. We have never felt that we could not order from Rob during this pandemic. You can place your order and have delivery completely hands free. You just have to text your order to him and he will deliver to your porch if desired. Then you just etransfer the payment to him. Contactless at it’s best. You have done an amazing job Rob and we feel confident that you will continue to do so.  Thanks so much for caring and for doing your part in ensuring the health and safety of your customers.” – Jenn & Chris B. March 17, 2021

 

  •         “A very special thank you to Dave for delivering our order so professionally…and for being so kind to visit my friend Mrs. H. She is delighted that I recommended Dave to visit her. She is enjoying her fish! Thank you for employing such a caring person” – Janet. June 10, 2020

 

  •         “Hi David, Thank you for your service and salmon! Will be nice for Mother’s Day, a favourite. Enjoyed the tenderloin and baseball steak this evening. Great service! Regards – Colleen.  May 7, 2020.

 

 

What things should you keep in mind when choosing a seafood and meat delivery service?

It is important to do some research before choosing your meat and seafood delivery service. Here are some questions to ask yourself to help you decide based on observations made and topics about food delivery services people have found over the years to be necessary.

 

 

 

Fishing boats

Supporting Our Canadian Fishermen

 1) How many years has the company been in business?

 

An experienced company like Home-Tyme, with twenty-nine years of knowledge has long-standing direct-relationships with Canadian fisheries, Canadian farmers, and food suppliers. Home-Tyme has the best access to highest quality, unique and rare meat items and over thirty kinds of fish and shellfish.

 

It is the strongest business relationships that reciprocate excellent service and support just like the personal connection between longtime friends and family. Rare shellfish and access to hard-to-find and more popular fish types are just some of the benefits passed on to Home-Tyme’s customers.

 

 

 

 

Coins stacked on a table

How Much are You Paying for Delivery?

 2) How much do they charge for delivery?

 

Companies that use third-party delivery cannot help but charge you delivery fees. 15-30 % commissions are not uncommon third-party delivery service fees and unfortunately those fees are passed on to you. This price will only increase with the movement toward third party driver support.

 

It costs a company considerably in upfront costs to create its delivery fleet; Home-Tyme, unlike most food service companies, has had that infrastructure in place for almost three decades so they can offer free delivery every time to each of their customers. Every amount of savings to you counts in the world of online shopping.

 

Home-Tyme cares deeply about the environment. McKinsey’s report suggests the digital delivery market for restaurant food alone may be worth $22 billion by 2025, adding even more unnecessary one-off deliveries, clogging residential streets with cars vying for a temporary parking spot.

 

Bundling deliveries together as Home-Tyme does, ensures timely deliveries for clients while reducing greenhouse emissions.

 

Delivery customers have high expectations for credibility and speed. Your order will always be responded to within three business hours and usually delivered within a day or two, excellent time parameters for specialty meats and seafood deliveries.

 

 

 

 

Delivering Smiles and Great Food to Your Door

 3) How much control over the delivery-to-you system does the service have?

 

New companies must rely on third party delivery services. If your delivery needs to be changed or you need to contact someone, you can be left out in the cold.

 

A food delivery experience that involves a first-tier, or first party ‘company delivery service’ is more reliable on top of being much more personal. If you have last-minute questions, Home-Tyme’s drivers know the products extremely well.

 

Does the service delivering your frozen food use temperature-controlled vehicles, or do they use a cooler loaded with freezer packs? With frozen food products, distance, and time duration in an ‘almost cold enough’ container can compromise your food’s safekeeping and preservation.  

 

Many of Home-Tyme’s drivers have been handling deliveries for them since the business began, 29 years ago. The dependability of their drivers translates to fewer concerns for you. You are assured your food is handled safely using reliable truck freezer equipment.

 

A warm smile and a personal interaction are part of a winning customer relationship. The quality of that experience comes from having complete ownership and input into the expectations of their drivers.

 

 

 

 

People liking on their phones

100% ‘LIKES’ for Home-Tyme Food Services

 4) How are their Google, Facebook, Instagram, BBB, and website reviews?

 

Reviews say a lot about how real clients react to a company’s service and quality of their products. Even a less-than-glowing review can reveal how the company handles the occasional inevitable disagreement. These are simply opportunities for kind communication and resolution.

 

Home-Tyme has been part of London’s community for an exceptionally long time. Within those decades, it has not had a negative review. Facebook, Instagram, BBB and their website reviews show thankful, happy, and long-time customers. That is review-gold.

 

 

 

 

 

Canadian flag waving in Alberta

Proudly Supporting Canadian Farmers and Fishermen

 5) Importantly, is the company investing in our Canadian businesses?

 

Canada ranks Number Two for the Best Country in the World! In 2020, 25 countries were ranked through answers provided from 36 countries. Canada ranked as Number One for its Quality of life.

 

In terms of food purchases, it may be tempting to access the least expensive, out-of-continent-sources. Often, a lack of pollution-control, species and resource protection are cost-cutting measures used by some countries.

 

Home-Tyme is 100% Canadian-owned and operated, and we know our support as a distributor is important to Canada’s success.

 

 

These protective and essential measures are made possible through the expenditure of our government’s (our) money. When we all support Canadian products, we contribute to our country’s business and economic health and help retain our envious position as a beautiful, inclusive, safe, and cultural country.
