The ONLY reason I haven't started yet is because it will not show me the menu until I pay them. This comes off as a VERY scammy/scummy thing. It makes me not want to trust them if they're being this insistent on you giving them your money. "Pay us now so that if you don't like anything we offer, we already have your money!" is how it comes off to me. If you're a legit business that cares about your customers, why do they have to pay you just to VIEW what the options are? It feels like a massive gamble to me. What if none sound appealing? Or at least not worth the price? I'm sure that's their worry too…
And people say "just click to view menu" but when I do that it shows me the different menu types. I click on the one I like and nothing moves/changes, except for the text box that reads "view our menu after sign-up". Of course CHECK OUT (pay) is before SELECT (view the menu).
I've tried a few other ways and nothing takes me to the menu…
It says 100+ options but there's soooo many things I don't eat. So is that 100+ options PER category Or 100+ options altogether across all categories combined? Because if so that might mean there's 50 vegetarian (wouldn't order), 30 seafood (don't eat), 25 fit/healthy (huge chance I wouldn't be interested), and then just 10 things in the meat & vegetables category that I would MAYBE want. And then those 100+ options are actually only 10 options for me!
Again, it just feels like such a scam when the company says "pay us now so that way if you hate the options we can steal your money and there's nothing you can do about it!"
I really hate it because I really wanted to give this a shot. Especially their sister company with pre-made microwavable meals. But I've got a feeling they'll have the same scam set up… gonna check them out now tho. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

You can see the menu without signing up.
Scroll down near the bottom and it will show you the menu by date.
Have you tried a different browser? The menus just pulled up for me on my phone.
Experimentally I went to their site on mobile without logging in and clicked the drop down in the upper left to find our menu, which directed me to the list of their offerings for the week.

On my app, by my count, there are 49 meals for next week. I assume the 100+ is including the ability to switch or add proteins/sides. Note that that costs extra to do. It might also include marketplace meals but I’m not willing to try to do that math.
Yea it’s definitely 100+ for all things because it says the options are for breakfast lunch dinner and more (desserts I guess). Plus there’s a lot of market items and stuff past the recipes
