We at Shape have been using PlateJoy for the past two months. It's been a a great service for us to try interesting new low-carb dishes that we otherwise wouldn't have cooked. Definitely recommend it if you want to try something new.
PlateJoy rocks. Food is a crowded space, but PJ is pretty different. Fans food on wheels startups are satisfying when you're in a hurry, but they aren't great for you and you get sick of them pretty quick or if you don't want to feed your kids fast/restaurant food every day. On the other side, grocery delivery let's you make great good, but you have to do all the work of putting together the recipes, ordering the right stuff, etc. PJ is great because you tell it how you want to eat, it gives you recipe options, and you get all the right stuff. It even works if you're not a good cook. Definitely give it a try. Note: I'm a very happy investor as well as customer.
I got PlateJoy after I cooked the following in two weeks in a row: Chicken Fajitas, Beef Tacos, Spaghetti Bolognese, Chicken Fajitas, Takeout, Takeout, Takeout. I came to terms with the fact that I'm a lazy cook who could use a little help. Then I found the app that everyone thinks should exist: the app that just tells you what your going to eat, what you need to buy to eat it, and how to cook it. It didn't exist before, but now it does: PlateJoy. PlateJoy is not a food delivery service. PlateJoy is not training wheels for people who don't know a cutting board from a cubano. PlateJoy is not dozens of tiny plastic packets of sugar and herbs packed in a distribution center and drop shipped to your house wrapped in ice cubes. PlateJoy is a way for you to do something you already wanted to do: cook healthy meals every night with ingredients you like from the store down the street. Minimal thinking, good food, easy to tweak if you want, and very low food waste. BTW: my meals this week: Open-faced prosciutto, egg and arugula sandwich, Thai-style tilapia with red curry sweet potatoes, and Soba noodle stir-fry with green beans and egg. Oh and Prosciutto-wrapped dates.
