Cena

Cena, it means dinner! And Cena’s meal preparation services make its customers’ lives easier by providing sessions for them to come in and assemble pre-prepared home meal replacements. Cena has taken the concept of home meal preparation to a new level. Customers assemble their family-friendly gourmet meals at Cena locations, from prepared ingredients, or the meals can be made for them. The food is healthy, nutritious, and is paired with a bottle of wine available at the Cena on-site wine shops. The meals go from Cena to customers’ freezer and then to their dinner table, saving time, money and inconvenience.
