There's a lot of food safety issues they ignored though

- 3rd party hubs means you get a wide range of manufacturers for refrigerated. Not all are rated equally. Sometimes the compressor goes bad, or insulation gaskets need to be replaced

- Food rotation. Because there is no staff at each location, there's a higher chance that you'll find meals 1+ weeks old. Its up to the consumer to see the date stamped

- If you rotate food often, unit will not be up to temperature (34-38*F) generally.

- If you don't have a designated employee at site to move food into refrigerator, it might spoil before it gets there. This deals with logistics

- Using 3rd party has a huge oversight in potentially tampering with food + legal implications.

- Inspections / legal is complicated

1: what if they were providing refrigerators?

2: This is daily delivery, so just have a driver remove all day-old food and bring new food

4: what if driver is responsible for that?

1,2,4 - These are all good points, I could not say either way. I would have to see more pictures of Chowdy's operations to know
