@cbognet: I love the concept and have signed up for the trial with the hope of sticking with it going forward.

My question -- I don't know how representative my household is from others, but we've got a few different sets of dietary restrictions to consider.

Do you have any plans to offer a way to set up variations that allow for, say, gluten-free (non-vegetarian) dining for one member of the family, while the rest are vegetarian (no gluten restrictions)?

It's certainly more work on my end to buy, prep, and cook for, but it's work that I'm already doing and would love to benefit from the programmatic menu and shopping list that PlateJoy generates.

Hello + thank you! It’s something we’re working on tackling programmatically, but right now this is really where our nutrition coaching comes into play. You'll get an email from yours in a few days, and they'll make suggestions for ingredients you’d like to substitute, or can find the best plan that can meet everyone’s needs. Personally, I’d recommend going more restrictive (like our gluten-free, vegetarian plan) and supplementing it if necessary with non-GF pasta and simple meat/poultry/fish in place of veg protein - often everyone finds something to like even with the restrictions, and you don’t have to be a short-order cook :)
