#13Does the menu change weekly? What do I need to do to prepare the food? Just toss it in a microwave or do I need a kitchen?

#15Prices look pretty good reasonable what you get, if the food is as good as it looks in the pictures. Does the menu change weekly? What do I need to do to prepare the food? Just toss it in a microwave or do I need a kitchen?
Meals are same as photos. Because our ops are so lean we can invest almost 1.5X to 2X in ingredients compared to a restaurant for the same price. Which is why we can offer organic ingredients as well.

We were so excited about the fellow ship application that we asked our customers to join in. A lot of them are in tech but they didn't have a hn account.

Can I ask people to upvote my submission?
No. Users should vote for a story because it's
intellectually interesting, not because someone is
promoting it.
When the software detects a voting ring, it penalizes the
post. Accounts that vote like this eventually get their
votes ignored.
Also worth nothing is the votes-to-comments ratio, if you reply to everything you will trigger a penalty designed to minimize contentious issues which occurs when more comments than votes happen.You might like to try resubmitting without orchestrating any activity as this submission's been penalized and is no longer well positioned in 'show' or anywhere else.

#171. Green buttons convert far better than other colors. Make the call-to-action button ("Start Today") green.
2. "Start Today" isn't what I wanted to click. Not sure what I would prefer. I'd strongly suggest doing some A/B testing with other words on the button, like "Order Now", "Sign Up Today", etc. "Get Started" would also be better because "Start Today" sounds like it means I'll get food today.
3. You need a "Pricing" page and link in your navigation.
4. You need to have your company's phone number above the fold. It makes you look more trustworthy. It can be an answering service or automated voicemail thing, but it should be there.
5. "How" is not a very clear abbreviation for "How It Works" (to me anyway)
6. It is not at all clear if this is a local or national service. Do I have to be in a certain city to get the meals?
Good luck!
