What benefit do you provide over the Indian place down the block with similar or even cheaper pricing? These prices are absurdly expensive even for us overpaid tech folk.
- personjerry 7y ago$12 per meal is "absurdly expensive"? I think it's comparable to eating out.
- jakear 7y agoYep, and no tip, drink overcharging, etc.
- knubie 7y ago$12 for 500 calories is very expensive. For a typical 2500kcal diet that's $60 per day.
- somepig 7y agoI mean... that's my point. I can plan ahead and pay $12 to have something delivered and then heat it up myself, or I can pay $12 to pick it up already hot and ready to eat, on demand.
- GordonS 7y agoFor a spinach curry (saag or saag paneer), yes, $12 is very expensive. In my local asian grocery store, they stock a lot of vacuum packed Indian meals, all of which have nothing "dodgy" in the list of ingredients, and all of which are actually really good - they cost the equivelant of around $2.5 each. My local Indian takeaway restaurants sell saag paneer for around $4 USD.
- perspective1 7y agoI had the same thought before seeing how excited many of the commenters here are about it! I guess the market exists and we're just not in it.
- sohamsankaran 7y agoOur main differentiator is specifying the macronutrients and allowing you to pick between different macronutrient profiles. You're not likely to get that at your local Indian place.
