About Us Chopped Up Meals is a fast-growing meal prep company serving Maryland, Virginia, and Texas. We deliver healthy, pre-portioned meals to fitness-focused clients through gym partnerships and are on a mission to scale operations nationwide. Our growth is fueled by results, community, and quality food — not hype.
We currently gross over $144,000 annually and are poised to scale significantly. We’re now looking for a driven, business-savvy COO who is ready to lead our operations and help us multiply that growth.
What You’ll Do - Build and streamline kitchen operations, logistics, and fulfillment workflows
- Hire and lead the kitchen and delivery teams across multiple locations
- Overhaul our website and customer subscription flow for user-friendly ordering
- Manage weekly production (~11.9 meals per order) and scale to 100–1,000 orders/week
- Optimize cost per meal and labor efficiency (currently 400 meals produced per 13 hours with a team of 4)
- Create and implement SOPs, KPIs, and internal systems to ensure quality and consistency
- Collaborate directly with the founder on strategic decisions and expansion plans
What We’re Looking For - Proven experience scaling a product or service-based business (especially in food, logistics, or e-commerce)
- Strong background in operations, supply chain, or team leadership
- Comfortable managing production teams and contractors
- Understanding of growth metrics and operational budgeting
- Bonus if you’ve launched or led a startup before
- Hustler's mindset — you're willing to build, optimize, and get your hands dirty
- Located near a major city in MD, VA, or TX (not required, but preferred)
Compensation This is a sweat equity role — no salary initially. Instead, we offer:
- 5% equity upfront , subject to a 5-year vesting schedule with a 2-year cliff
- Up to 5% more based on performance milestones (e.g., 500 orders/week or $500K in revenue)
- All equity is non-voting to retain founder control
- Buyback protections ensure equity is tied to performance and long-term contribution
Why Join Us?- You get to co-lead and scale a business that’s already profitable
- You’ll have creative and operational freedom to build your own systems
- You're not just an employee — you're an owner
- Help bring healthy, affordable food to thousands while building a legacy brand
To Apply - Send your resume and a short paragraph about why this is the right opportunity for you . No cover letter needed — just show us your hustle, vision, and leadership ability.
