Munchery has gone down hill.

Calling meals with 70g of fat "healthy" is a bit of a stretch.

They used to be more focused on good quality/fresh/healthy.

The menu is now the same every day and it's basically a restaurant delivery service where they pre-make the food in large quantities.

Presumably this is more sustainable for them money wise, but I used to order Munchery for dinner every single day (when open) for years, and now I do it maybe 1-2 times a week, begrudgingly.

Hopefully just a phase. They tried this same-every-day thing last year and lost a tonne of users.

It's funny because this happened today:

Especially this:

"I just did not share anymore their strategy for growth and their ‘vision’ for the future," Rigo wrote to Eater in an email.

The translation is: the food sucks.

IMO, these companies would be insane not to pre-make suitable food in large quantities (curries, etc) in order to achieve profitability at reasonable pricepoints.
Usually anyone who does that would pre-make a different selection of food each day to give people variety, though.
Yes, for sure. But have a set suite of meals that they can make affordably, and rotate through those.
