Ordering lunch every day? A monthly meal subscription on Meal can save you 15-20% compared to ordering individually — plus you never have to think about what to eat.
How subscriptions work:
Choose a bhabi whose cooking you enjoy. Subscribe to her meal plan — daily, weekdays-only, or custom days. Each morning, she prepares your meal as part of her planned cooking, and it arrives at your chosen time.
Subscription types:
- Lunch only (weekdays): 5 meals/week at a fixed monthly rate
- Lunch only (daily): 7 meals/week, slightly higher rate
- Lunch + dinner combo: Best value per meal
- Custom schedule: Choose specific days (minimum 3 per week)
Pricing examples:
- Standard Bengali lunch (rice, dal, fish/meat, vegetable, chutney): 120-180 BDT per meal for subscribers vs 150-220 BDT for one-time orders
- Monthly lunch subscription (22 weekdays): 2,640-3,960 BDT vs 3,300-4,840 BDT ordering daily
- That is 660-880 BDT saved per month — enough for 4-5 extra meals
Why bhabis love subscribers:
- Predictable demand means less food waste
- Guaranteed daily income instead of waiting for orders
- They can plan ingredients and shopping more efficiently
- Subscribers tend to become long-term customers
Flexibility built in:
- Pause your subscription for travel or holidays with 24 hours notice
- Swap menu items if the bhabi offers alternatives
- Cancel anytime — no long-term contracts
- Rate each meal to help the bhabi improve
Who are subscribers?
- Office workers who want home-cooked lunch delivered to their workplace
- Students living in messes or hostels who miss home food
- Elderly people who find daily cooking difficult
- Families where both parents work and need reliable dinner
- People with dietary restrictions who need consistent meal preparation
Getting started:
Browse bhabis in your area who offer subscription plans (look for the subscription badge on their profile). Try 3-5 individual orders first to confirm you like their cooking. Then subscribe and enjoy the savings.
Pro tip: Some bhabis offer a rotating weekly menu — Monday fish curry, Tuesday chicken, Wednesday vegetarian, etc. This keeps meals interesting while maintaining the convenience of a subscription.
