Mealnut – a new tiffin service in Pune

Are you among those harassed employees with no time to prepare and carry your own lunch box? Do you have to endure horrible food at your workplace? Are you staying in a shared accommodation or hostel with no option but to accept what you get or else eat outside?

Here’s Mealnut, a site I happened to come across a while ago. Turns out it is a tiffin service started in Pune, another addition to the several hundred such services and mess options available. So what’s different with them?

Well, they’ve started out with the intention to improve on the low quality, lack of hygiene, lack of variety and poor customer service offered by existing services. Personally, I’ve been to some of these places with friends who’ve stayed in hostels. The experience was mostly a mixed one, but this was almost a decade ago and a lot has changed since then.

Started by Mona Soundankar and Jitendra Salunke, its been a few months since inception and they offer their services in select areas as of now; Kothrud, Erandwane and Karve Nagar. If you stay elsewhere in Pune, you can still sign up and mention which area you live in, so they can expand their services there based on demand. Ordering can be done online or offline, and here’s a pic describing the difference between the two;

You can look up the FAQ section on their website for details on how their service works.
