How Credits Work

Exact credit cost appears before checkout.

01

Why credits?

They turn a food budget into meal-plan funds, not open-ended card spending.

02

What is 1 credit?

Many everyday orders are around 1 credit; premium or multi-item orders can use more.

03

Why it saves

Credits unlock member deals, avoid delivery-app markups, and roll over until graduation.
