Our Little History
Three times a charm! If it were easy, everyone would do it.
November 2023
Our 1st Launch
When we first launched in 2023, our app partnered with 12 restaurants in the Northwest Washington, DC area. It allowed people to view $12 menus and order from multiple restaurants for delivery to their homes once a week on Mondays. We were essentially a meal kit service, but with food from local restaurants. Unfortunately, we didn't gain the momentum we were hoping for, and after two months, we halted all services.

Our 2nd Launch
We made changes to give people two ordering options: they could order meal-kit-style menus at $12 each (with 4-7 meals) or order regular food delivery like other apps. However, after another two months, we still weren't seeing the anticipated momentum and decided to halt services again. We needed to figure out what we were doing wrong and how to stand out against the well-established competition.

This launch
After two failures, we needed to find a way to truly differentiate ourselves. To make our app "go viral" and generate buzz, we had to offer something unique. We brainstormed and landed on a compelling idea: social media apps achieve virality quickly, and people love sharing photos of their meals online. Plus, home-cooked meals cost around $5 per serving, significantly cheaper than a $16 restaurant meal. We realized the potential of merging these two concepts into something spectacular. After researching bartering laws, we got to work.
Three Times a Charm
We're keeping our core idea of healthy, affordable, and time-saving meals. After incorporating a coin system into our bartering concept, we feel like this is where we were meant to be all along. We failed upward—our failures were simply challenges that built character and pushed us to think outside the box.
Now, Weeklyeat allows you to order directly from small local restaurants. It also allows you to barter your home-cooked meals with your neighbors and try a large variety of your community's diverse flavors without breaking the bank.
