MealPal- Best Meals Around You Software

I use it everyday for lunch and couldn’t be happier. Not carrying a wallet when I go out to grab lunch is so nice by itself, but add to it the savings while not sacrificing options, and you have a very happy customer! Lunch in Manhattan is so expensive so to limit it to $6/meal for the same portions is great. In addition, it has gotten me to branch out and try other places. I also love that it allows small family owned restaurants to compete with large chains as they have equal representation. The support team at MealPal is incredible too. They are super responsive and super friendly. I missed some days of work, and even though I am not on a rollover plan, after one email, they added the missed days to my next cycle. 5 stars for sure!

I love MealPal! I work long days so the last thing I want to do when I get home late is to cook and pack a meal for lunch. At the same time, I don't want to wait in long lines on a tight schedule or pay $15 for lunch everyday. MealPal solves these problems by offering options from around the community for roughly $6 a meal! You never have to wait in line. So not only did MealPal solve my lunch problem, I now know about a lot of great lunch spots around me that I wouldn't have known about otherwise. That said, the app could be improved - needs to be easier to select a small area to pick from, there should be an integration with yelp/Google to be able to both leave and see reviews.

The MealPal service itself is great. I understand what others are saying—it’s not particularly easy to find what their policies are, and before you purchase a plan there isn’t a lot of info on how it works. But I save a TON of money on lunches at work this way and it is incredibly convenient. Some of the meals are great, some are small, some are iffy, but it’s 100% up to the restaurants to provide good meals so I just avoid the ones I have bad experiences with. My issue is that the app makes it difficult to see what’s available when restaurants are bunched up. There is a food court near me, and the map shows 1 or 2 restaurants and it is impossible to see what other meals are available there, even though there are 6 or 8 offerings there. The list view eventually shows them all but they aren’t sorted in any meaningful way. Even knowing what restaurant I’m looking for can take some time. A few simple app changes would fix issues like these, but I sincerely hope this service has success and continues because I love it!
