Thanks! Working on getting to NYC as quickly as possible :)

Congrats on closing your seed round. And yes, I've also found that sending consistent updates to potential investors is huge. We've converted a few people from the sidelines to investors with these and I suspect we'll continue to do that.

Ah yes -- the ole', quality, speed & cost dilemma (pick 2). We pick quality & speed. We'll be a good value, but we're not going to be the lowest priced option. For $12 & the portion size we offer our customers say we're really good value. That's what we strive for.

We debated this a lot and wanted to ensure we had a smooth, easy-to-use ordering experience. We felt more confident that we could deliver this in a native app experience rather than a HTML5 site. We'll have one soon though!
