At my shop in Raleigh, NC, we order lunch delivery once a week from a local, home-based cook for $8/person (sandwich, side, drink). It's our favorite day of the week now, and one of our most productive because everyone eats together in the office or the park next door.

Its so much healthier, cheaper, and easier than any other option. She just emails us the menu on Monday morning and we all pick what we want and email it back. Couldn't be easier.

Point being: I think a lot of people want to buy this, and would if only it was easy to connect with local cooks (a friend referred us to Thao, or we'd have never known about her). ZeroCater is a great idea as well, but I really like the aspect of buying home cooked food from a local person vs. a restaurant because its cheaper, usually healthier, and its the closest thing to getting a home-cooked meal from my Mom.

(Sidebar: anyone in Raleigh, do yourself a favor and check out Thao Beck at http://www.lunchboxnmore.com/. Just shoot her an email and say you'd like to get the menu next week and she'll take it from there [or email me and I'll be happy to introduce you]. I can't recommend her highly enough, especially for companies. Here's a couple favs I had to photograph: http://imgur.com/a/v80kd)

Don't want to detract from your recommendation but just piggyback on the price remark - the guys in my office buy sandwich supplies at the start of the week and do four days worth of two sandwiches each. $10-12pp for the week. It's pretty social too as everyone preps and eats together.

Why not everyday?
