Well, the ability to have food prepared without ingredients they don't like.
Stuff you put together yourself and have at least some idea of what went
into it. The chance to feed your family something decent instead of fat and
salt laden fast food. But without the time spent planning, shopping and
cooking. That way useful.


If the friends that are fairly well off and have more money than time had
the opportunity to use a service such as this I could guarantee they'd use
it fairly regularly. A couple of them would probably use the service on a
very regular basis. As one of them put it "I flat don't have time."

Money they have, time they don't.

This is something that has come up in group discussions. At least one said
she'd kill for this kind of service.
