A chef-driven, tax-advantaged meal program for the Forefront Global sales team. Every rep gets their own plan. Every plan ships twice a week. Zero net cost to Daniel. $68K+ in combined annual financial benefit.
35+ reps in a Miami sales office running full-throttle. Cold calls, late lunches, inconsistent energy. tati. replaces the chaos with a chef-driven, tax-advantaged program that Daniel captures financially — while the team performs better.
Right now the Forefront team is grabbing whatever's around — skipping meals, eating late, losing energy mid-shift. tati. replaces that with a personalized, chef-prepared meal program that arrives twice a week, requires zero effort from individual reps, and runs seamlessly through a single weekly order cycle. Every rep eats better. The office runs cleaner.
For the Team · 35+ RepsReps cover their exact meal cost via weekly seat fee deducted from commissions. Daniel pays nothing net — and the full expense qualifies as 100% deductible under IRS §119.
For Danieltati. is not a food vendor. It's a structured employee health benefit — chef-prepared nutrition delivered to the office, personalized per employee, tracked against individual goals, and structured to generate a measurable financial return for Forefront Global.
Every rep's plan is built around their individual health goals — fat loss, energy, muscle, maintenance. This is a structured nutrition benefit, not a lunch order. It changes how the team performs on the floor.
Goal-Based · Individual PlansDietary restrictions, health goals, preferences, and meal timing recorded per person at onboarding. No two reps receive the same plan. Every plan ships fresh, labeled per rep, twice weekly.
Personalized Per RepStructured as an employer-provided meal benefit delivered on business premises. 100% deductible. Recoverable through employee seat fees. The program pays for itself — and then some.
Tax-Advantaged · Self-FundingThe Forefront program is built on a single clean offer: 5 chef-prepared meals per rep per week, delivered to the office on Monday and Thursday, personalized per individual, billed to Forefront and recovered from rep commissions.
Every Wednesday the week's menu drops. A Forefront office admin collects the team's selections and submits the consolidated order before Friday midnight. Two deliveries follow — Monday and Thursday.
tati. publishes the week's menu. The office admin gets a consolidated team summary. Every rep is notified.
Every WednesdayThe office admin submits the full consolidated order. 175 meals organized by rep, preference, and dietary profile.
Midnight CutoffMeals 1, 2, 3 arrive at Forefront Global Miami HQ. All labeled per rep. $15 flat consolidated drop.
Fresh · Same DayMeals 4 & 5 arrive. $15 flat drop. Total weekly delivery: $30 split across 35 reps = $0.86/rep/week.
Fresh · Same DayEvery rep enrolled in the Forefront office program automatically receives an exclusive Forefront home delivery discount code — 30% off any personal home order placed through tatimeals.com. Want tati. at home on the weekend? Done. Orders are placed and paid directly by each rep. No cap, no expiration. Completely separate from the office package billing.
The tati. program team comes to the Forefront office and onboards every participating rep one-on-one. No forms, no apps, no friction. One session. 48 hours later, every personalized plan is built.
The tati. program team comes onsite to the Forefront Global office. Daniel introduces the program to the team — setting the tone that this is a company investment in their performance and health. The message to reps: this is built around you.
In-Person · White GloveEach rep gets 5–8 minutes of direct personal attention. What they currently eat, what they want to change, restrictions, allergies, fitness goals, portion preferences, and how they eat during the workday. Every data point goes directly into their individual tati. profile.
5–8 Min Per RepThe tati. culinary team builds each rep's first weekly meal plan from their profile. Every plan is sent to each rep for confirmation before the first delivery. No rep receives food they didn't sign off on.
48-Hour TurnaroundFollowing Monday or Thursday after profiles are confirmed. All 175 meals labeled per rep. Bi-weekly delivery cycle begins. Week 1 is the proof of concept — the team tries it, gives feedback, and plans are adjusted for Week 2.
Week 1 · Program LivePick the tier. Toggle W2 benefits on or off. The calculator shows exactly what Forefront pays, what employees pay back via seat fee, and the full annual benefit — §119 tax saving + FICA saving for W2 employees.
Default: 2 meals/day (lunch + dinner). Seat fee and all financials update automatically.
Drag to set what each employee pays back per meal. $0 = company absorbs full cost. Higher = more recovery for Forefront. All financials update live.
The 7 W2 employees at Forefront are eligible for the full tati. Benefits health stack. Pre-tax payroll deduction, full benefit received back as FSA claim. Employer saves ~$52/W2/month in FICA taxes on top of the §119 meal deduction. 28 × 1099 contractors receive the meal program and §119 deduction — not eligible for FICA savings. Launches in 2–4 weeks alongside the meal program.
Three things happen on Forefront's P&L when the program launches: a new expense line appears, a new recovery line appears, and the IRS hands back 37 cents on every dollar spent. The net result is a program that improves EBITDA — not hurts it. Every number below updates live with your tier and seat fee selections above.
The meal spend is fully offset by employee seat fees. Forefront's true net cash outlay is just the delivery fee — under $1,560/year at 35 employees.
The IRS returns 37 cents on every dollar of meal expense at year-end. It doesn't exist today. It only exists because Forefront runs a structured program.
Recovery offsets cost. Tax deduction stacks on top. FICA savings add a third layer. The program does not reduce EBITDA — it increases it.
Month 1 is the commitment trial — the program runs at full corporate rate, proves itself, and the 6-month contract is locked at Month 1 end based on confirmed headcount. Every Forefront rep also gets a 30% personal home delivery discount, separate from the office program.
