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 (<5 people) that they order lunch along with other companies in their building.
4. You got it!
- optimusclimb 13y agoShouldn't the scrappy seed stage startup be hitting up Safeway and buying bread and cold cuts, pb&j, or...ramen, if it wants to be "scrappy"?
- jmhamel 13y agoThat's definitely the traditional idea. Here are two reasons that I think $7 is worth their money: 1. Foods like pb&j and ramen aren't exactly going to keep your brain in tip-top condition all day. Unbalanced meals can make you feel very tired. 2. Many of these scrappy startups can't make the time to even order groceries online. (source: I lived in a hacker house for a year)
- ebrescia 13y agoI think the $7-$8 price point is ideal. It is affordable enough for most companies to be able to justify it. Over $10/meal starts seeming a little extravagant to me.

- smokey_the_bear 13y agoFwiw, SpoonRocket is $6 a meal, and I love the concept but the food just isn't good enough for me to order regularly. I do think it's a great deal for $6 though. Maybe if they had another $3 per meal they could make more food I'd want to eat.
