Monthly Tiffin Maths: How Lunch + Dinner Becomes ₹87 a Meal
The monthly total looks large because it buys 60 meals at once. The honest comparison is the per-meal number: ₹5,207 divided across lunch and dinner for 30 days is about ₹87 per plate.
That number is generated from the same pricing code used at checkout. Change the plan price and this article changes with it; there is no separate marketing figure to drift out of date.
The formula, line by line
The default lunch-and-dinner combo is ₹195/day. Across 30 days, the undiscounted total is ₹5,850. The monthly cycle applies the current plan discount, bringing it to ₹5,207.
That cycle contains 60 meals. Divide ₹5,207 by 60 and the rounded cost is ₹87 per meal. Delivery, where applicable, remains a separate line.
What if I travel or miss a meal?
Pause the plan when you travel. For a single day, skip lunch before 10 AM or dinner before 5 PM. Eligible skipped meals stay in your balance and extend the cycle, so a trip does not turn into paid food at an empty door.
A late skip cannot be treated the same way once ingredients are allocated and the cooking batch has started. The cut-off is what keeps the policy fair to both the subscriber and the kitchen.
Will I get bored? Here is the actual rotation
Monday: Lauki kofta, aloo jeera, roti, rice and salad for lunch; Stuffed kundru, dal tadka, roti, rice and salad for dinner. Tuesday: Capsicum aloo, dal tadka, roti, rice and salad for lunch; Stuffed torai, seasonal dry veg, roti, rice and salad for dinner. Wednesday: Lauki sabzi, dal tadka, roti, rice and salad for lunch; Rajma, raita, roti, rice and salad for dinner. Thursday: Kaddu, chana dal, roti, rice and salad for lunch; Stuffed baingan, dal, roti, rice and salad for dinner. Friday: Kadhi, aloo jeera, roti and rice for lunch; Bhindi, dal, roti, rice and salad for dinner. Saturday: Mushroom matar, dal tadka, roti, rice and salad for lunch; Aloo jhol, seasonal veg, roti, rice and salad for dinner. Sunday: Chole, puri, rice, raita and salad for lunch; Paneer sabzi, raita, roti, rice, salad and one sweet for dinner.
Dal, roti, rice and salad form the reliable base; the main vegetables and gravies move through the week. The next post shows this rotation day by day with the real photographs we have—and clearly marks the one day where the owner still needs to provide a matching photo.
Is there a lock-in?
No joining fee and no continuing lock-in. You pay for one cycle. You can pause during it and stop after it. If a month still feels like too much commitment, the current first trial is ₹99.
Customising the default tiffin changes the price because combo pricing only applies to the default chef menu. That rule is also calculated by the same pricing system rather than hidden in the small print.
A monthly plan should make food more predictable, not trap you. The per-meal arithmetic, pause rules, rotation and delivery line should all be visible before you pay.
Lunch + dinner, ₹87 a meal — or lunch only.
