Delivery & Collection
One cutoff, one cook, one delivery window. Here is the whole thing, explained before you meet it in the cart.
Order by Wednesday. Eat from Monday.
Most services give you a floating "5–7 working days," which means nobody knows what day their food arrives. We run a fixed cycle instead. Whether you order on Thursday morning or Wednesday at 23:58, you are in the same batch and you get the same date.
Wednesday 23:59 — cutoff
Orders close. 1 day 4 hours left on the current one.
Thursday to Sunday — we cook
We buy and cook to the actual order count. Nothing is made speculatively and nothing is frozen.
Monday & Tuesday — you eat
Delivered to your door, or collected free from one of 4 points on the same two days.

The launch zone
We started on the East Rand because that is where the kitchen is, and pushed into the Joburg corridor because that is where people asked loudest. If you are outside it, collection is open to everyone — and the waitlist genuinely decides where we go next.
