Moving a meal prep business between platforms is a logistics problem, not a technical one. Orders are in flight every week, customers have saved cards and points, and your pickup partners expect bags on the same day. Here is the order that works.
1. Paperwork before anything
Find your signed order form and your renewal date. Happy Meal Prep's published terms describe an annual term with a notice window and an early-termination fee; your form may say something different. Give notice inside the window or you may owe another year.
2. Build the new store while the old one runs
Paste your current site into a builder that reads it. Confirm the meals, photos and colours. Set channels and cutoffs to match what customers know. Don't change the offer in the same week you change the platform.
3. Export and import
A staff member downloads the customer, order and meal exports from your Happy Meal Prep admin. Import them: meals matched by name, customers de-duplicated by email and phone, consent flags preserved so your first text campaign is legal, order history kept for reports but never used to change anyone's balance.
4. Rehearse a full week
Publish a menu, place orders through every channel, print the production report, pack from the fulfilment screen, send the order-ready text to yourself. Fix what's wrong while nobody is watching.
5. Announce, then move the domain
Send one email and one text from the new system. Customers sign in with the same email; saved cards are re-entered once. Move the domain between a cutoff and the next menu release so no orders straddle the change. Keep the old store as a redirect for a week.
