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?
- jmhamel 13y agoI guess you can never be entirely sure. (Do you have any ideas about how we can prove this to people?) Sometimes, we like to slip in notes about where the food came from, but we don't have any rigid guidelines set in place right now.
- rodly 13y agoPerhaps you could have a nice looking "Our Food Sources" page that details the markets, farmers, etc? I might be the minority on this, but when I see food locally sourced I'm more likely to buy it than generic food brand X. Locally sourced to me = fresher, healthier, and better for my local economy obviously
- jmhamel 13y agoGreat idea, thanks!

- jmhamel 13y agoWow, this was much better than my answer! Thanks :)
- GrinningFool 13y agoHeh, np. I"m not in the area so I won't be able to sign up, but this seems like one of those "holy crap, why didn't someone think of this before" kind of ideas. Good luck with it :)
- jmhamel 13y agoThanks! :D
- dsl 13y agoCryptographically signed receipts, of course. sigh sometimes I hate the people on HN.
- rodly 13y agoI... don't know where the sarcasm or hatred came from. Do these questions seem unfair to you?
