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?
sigh sometimes I hate the people on HN.
1. Make it $10 or $11. It's the most a lazy and cheap person will pay and it's a lot more than $7. You're still way cheaper than most other options. Use most of the money on delivering great food. 2. Cleanliness! Make sure you put in serious effort to ensuring the things you're delivering were prepared properly and cleanly. That they arrive nicely (tape soup lids well!). One round of office food poisoning... 3. Targe…
1. We've though about it, but we really want to support the scrappy little seed-stage startups who can't afford $11 lunches, but want to eat lunch as a team. 2. No problems with that so far, but thanks for the tip! 3. That's a good idea! We've been suggesting to really small startups ( 4. You got it!
Maybe if they had another $3 per meal they could make more food I'd want to eat.
Good idea. But I think pricing needs an update. Usually eating out is $5 a meal.
Thanks! Just curious, but where can I get a $5 meal in SF? (Not trying to sound rude, I just can't find anywhere that cheap :) Also, I would say that most popular catering option in SF is ZeroCater, and their website says that meals start at $12-14/person.
$5 sandwiches
I'm all for more lunch options. Can you please offer a healthy snack solution as well? I'd pay out of pocket for this. 4pm is my hunger-witching time.

Ooh good idea. How much would you pay for a 4pm snack?
You made a well designed front page. The colours are nicely fitting and the logo is great it associated with some kind of food immediately (made me think of spring rolls or something like that)! Just wanted to say that after a day of repeatedly stumbling upon extremely annoying hip, identical, scroll-untill-you-die sites, yours made me smile a little. And now I'm hungry.
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…
Minimum order size: 2. We didn't really set a maximum, but so far, nobody has asked for more than we can handle. All of our current customers have a repeating weekly order. If they want to change it, they have to tell us by Friday the week before. That's really all a 'commitment' means. Right now, only 1 meat meal and 1 vegan meal a day. We're thinking about adding a GF option. I was supposed to add a feedback button…
One emphatic suggestion: make sure your vegetarian/vegan meals have as many calories as the meat meals. This is something that so many caterers get wrong.
Low-carb and MOKO strike me as not something you should take into consideration but options to avoid dairy and gluten make sense for when you expand your menu, as those can be serious allergies for some people. I would add nut allergies to the list, as they're quite common.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
