In a plea to sustain the livelihood of their chefs, Makati Diamond Residences will be offering “Alfred At Cost,” a new delivery service of whole-day group meals fresh from their kitchen. The first batch of orders will start on Monday, August 10, until Sunday, August 16.

For the next two months, Makati Diamond will be charging for food cost and labor at P2,500 for a weekday meal plan of 7 dishes, and P3,500 for a weekend feast of 10 dishes. Each set is good for 4 to 6 people.

“Let us take care of all your market shopping and cooking for your family while helping our chefs keep their jobs,” they wrote in a Facebook post.
