  • In the event that you’re unsure if you should pause or cancel your subscription, we recommend pausing, so if you decide to reactivate, we will already have all of your information.

  • If you sign up on a Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, you will not see the charge come out immediately as it will automatically be scheduled for you that coming Wednesday and every Wednesday after that.

  • For family meals, follow instructions on lid. Know that it will generally be about a 30 minute heating period, however.
    • What if I don't like something on the upcoming menu?
  • We have a 5-week rotating menu with 14 different meal options (including breakfast and Keto).
  • Our process allows you to customize meal options and quantities desired. Since there is a wide variety of meals, if you don’t like an upcoming meal, simply don’t pick it! ??
  • See “What if I want to select different meals/meal quantities for upcoming weeks?” in the “Account/Sign-up” section if you need help selecting different meals and quantities.
    • What about me or my family's allergies, sensitivities, and restrictions?
