Hey People Food, some feedback on your post:

- 300 heads? the word "people" is in your startup name and you just called people "heads". Not nice.

- "Catering" probably kills this for most readers. Catering is used with "events". I'm sure you would deliver as long as a company orders what 2 or more? 3 or more? Just phrase it like that so that anyone in a startup feels empowered to submit their company.

- Your ask is weak. I'd filter for the ideal customer of yours: startups with 5+ (whatever) people and also what the limit is - will you give meals for free to every single company that emails you? or just 5-7? and that's how many free lunches? and per company? I'd be specific. First come first serve? etc.

- Send you (the founder) an email at support @ ?? not personal

Please don't misunderstand me, this sounds awesome. It's just that how it's written right now it seems a bit rushed and prone for disappointed HN readers :)

Is that first point real? Do you actually find that offensive?
Yeah, seriously, that post seems overly nitpicky, and the sort of "feedback" that I hope startup founders can filter out. "Head" is a commonly used term in the catering business.
+1, also a phone number would be nice.
