Earlier quoted context omitted.

I totally feel you about the mailto link - It was just a quick way to get everything up and running. Will definitely change soon :) P.s. Know any good food photographers?!

I have a reference - contact info in profile.

Awesome, thanks!!

Questions: Why did you pick $7? Why not $10 or $15? What diet will the first meal plans be for? Will it be all organic? Is it freshly prepared each day from raw ingredients?

$7 will buy you a couple tacos and a bottle of Coke at the taco truck. $7 is a pretty good price for lunch. Now, given that it's for startups in San Francisco, the demand for local-sourced organic quinoa meat substitute may make $7 harder to do.

"local-sourced organic quinoa meat substitue" hahahaha so true

This sounds promising. I upvoted just because I want SF folks to afford cheap and healthy lunch. I hope it all goes well and you can expand to Seattle area.

Thanks so much for the support! I also hope all goes well and we can expand to the Seattle area soon :)

8 new Outlook windows on the other monitor later, I realize it's a mailto link. And show me some pictures of the food!

Totally agree here. Pictures of food would help a ton.

Also think you could do a lot with marketing here... differentiate yourself through fresh ingredients or better supplies. Make that apparent if you have any leg up. Convince them you're better with some unique flair and customer testimonials.

A few questions:

  - Do you have a minimum/maximum order size?
  - What sort of commitment do you require (the FAQ mentions a commitment but doesn't give details)?
  - Can you accommodate my low carb/dairy-free/gluten-free/MOKO* lifestyle? 
  - Are there any feedback mechanisms so I can let you know what I thought about the food?
  - Is there any choice in what I get, or is it all chosen for me?
  - Do you guarantee my food will arrive when I want it and not two hours late?
*MOKO: will only eat 'meat of known origin'
