It should be value for value, or pegged to a state's minimum wage or something, but then you lose the $10 marketing angle.
Sucks about getting laid off (been there, still there), but I don't see this as an ongoing concern if you are targeting consumers. If I am hungry, $10 is not my criteria. It could be $5, it could be $10.59 depending on fast I can get that protein in. Do I drive, does it get delivered, or do I just go downstairs to a taco stand.
OTOH, as others suggested, you could have businesses and franchises fight for foot traffic with coupons/promos.
- jaep1 2mo agoThank you! You are right on the money =) I guess my intention are some shock value and differentiator that makes us stand out against all other crowdsource services. I thought under $10 meal these days would be considered very affortable in most states. We do have parameter to change it up to $14 and we might increase that ceiling later. I am really considering restaurant sponsors. As long as money goes into the community support mission, it will actually work better this way. (sustainable growth)
- stasomatic 2mo agoThat’s the thing, the $10 is not my threshold, it’s the value of what I get for the $10. I don’t need to eat it all today. I’d rather spend $5 but I don’t want to waste $5 on filler. I could go by a local 7/11 and put myself in a comma for a tenner.
