Mostly Great Before MealPal, I spent $12-$18 on lunch every day in SF. After switching to MealPal in September 2018, I have saved over $1000 on lunch. The options are usually phenomenal and range from healthy salads (which I try to eat) to more hearty things. My only two qualms are 1) portion size varies hugely by restaurant (and it's hard to judge based on a picture), which they've tried to combat by adding more transparency to the menu 2) UI/UX could definitely use improvement especially on the desktop version

BEWARE OF SCAM I loved the experience at first, but the company does not make it clear that you have to pay for another month of meals in order to access credits you have already paid for. For example, I paid for a month of credits (72) and at the end of the month I still had 42 credits left. When I tried to use these credits I was told that I cannot access them unless I pay for another month. When I asked if I could just cancel my account but use my credits that I had already paid for, the customer service team was very rude to me. A little kindness and empathy goes a long way and Meal Pal does not offer that. To me this feels very scammy because I essentially paid for meals that I can no longer get. It is a scam to advertise this company as a more affordable option when they force you to pay more money to access credits that you have already paid for. Don't make my mistake!!!!!!!!

Pictures say 1000 words I very much enjoy the concept and theory. It exposes a clientele to a list of vendors they may not have considered due to the curated nature of the meal. However, pictures should be submitted day of or the exact image of the food that is being picked up. Portions need to be realistic as we know this is slightly discounted but if a person has to buy more food it costs more overall. All in all, love the product and platform and east just want the pick up to represent the picture accurately.

Bad UX, dark patterns, not worth the cost Not only are the restaurants you get access to limited, along with the food options (mostly chicken), they charge your account without letting you know for months and refuse a refund. I’ve lost hundreds of dollars to this passive subscription. A terrible company with dark patterns all over their UX. Steer clear and avoid at all costs!

DEPLORABLE COMPANY WITH NO MORALS This company is deplorable and have no remorse, nor morals. I was out of the office due to bereavement of my mother who passed for about 2 weeks. I had so many credits leftover because of my time out of the office and requested for them to be rolled over without having to pay for a new subscription. They told me with no empathy that they cannot make an exception and change their policies under any circumstances. Cold hearted company right here that seems to be scamming a lot of people. Not worth it, especially because they lost a lot of partners so the selections suck.
