As if there weren't enough [weird and wonderful delivery apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rentahuman) or rental services, Lou Papa's rent-a-grandparent site delivers retired grandmas who show off their cooking skills to users that want to enjoy a delicious [home-cooked meal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/family-dinneroo).

The site provides four grandparent master chefs -- two grandmothers and two grandfathers. They range in age and each have their own specialty dishes. The prices for the four-course meals vary but they are quite reasonable, starting at just 12 euros. The [gastronomical delivery service](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pc-kitchen-drop) includes a lovely grandma or grandpa who will shop for and cook the quality meal and even clean up the dishes.

Users can schedule their own time and place for when the cooking is done. Perfect for dates who can't cook toast or someone who simply misses old-fashioned home cooking, this rent-a-grandparent website is truly modern and gives even the weirdest delivery services a run for their money.
