How can I be sure you source from local markets? This doesn't scale easily either. How do you plan to combat carelessness when demand goes up and you all of sudden need to push out 1000 or 10,000 meals at lunch time?
Cryptographically signed receipts, of course. sigh sometimes I hate the people on HN.

I guess you can never be entirely sure. (Do you have any ideas about how we can prove this to people?) Sometimes, we like to slip in notes about where the food came from, but we don't have any rigid guidelines set in place right now.
Locally sourced to me = fresher, healthier, and better for my local economy obviously
I love that you folks - in contrast to so many other catering companies - are transparent with your pricing! Come to NYC? (question: what are our options in NYC? Besides seamless, which basically means we eat from the same 3 places every week?)

Perhaps you could have a nice looking "Our Food Sources" page that details the markets, farmers, etc? I might be the minority on this, but when I see food locally sourced I'm more likely to buy it than generic food brand X.

Shouldn't the scrappy seed stage startup be hitting up Safeway and buying bread and cold cuts, pb&j, or...ramen, if it wants to be "scrappy"?
That's definitely the traditional idea. Here are two reasons that I think $7 is worth their money: 1. Foods like pb&j and ramen aren't exactly going to keep your brain in tip-top condition all day. Unbalanced meals can make you feel very tired. 2. Many of these scrappy startups can't make the time to even order groceries online. (source: I lived in a hacker house for a year)
