Best of luck!

How will weights and measures factor in to pricing? Can orders be placed for arbitrary quantities or will there be fixed sizing?

How will you tackle container returns? Amazon fresh used to use high quality insulated bags you were supposed to return on next delivery, but eventually they switched to a cardboard box with some insulated bubble wrap that was all disposable. Not sure why exactly, but I imagine that there's more overhead of logistics and cost for materials. Will the smaller scale make that easier for you to manage?

Short answer is "I don't know" unfortunately. I'm working on figuring all of that out. I would assume there'd be fixed sizing. For the returns, I will collect the containers from the front door or a bin at the front desk and sanitize them at a commercial kitchen and return them to the food producer.
