I have no need for this, but I can see the benefits and pitfalls for it.
In any case, I would need more information about the company before I could make my final decision on it.
The first thing I'm looking for is "Does this company have a space for me to tell them about special dietary requirements???". If I'm honest, the lack of information regarding this question is what puts me off many food and drink subscription boxes that are already available - especially when at least one of my known allergens aren't in the typical list of things that it's common to be allergic to.
I don't want to sign up just to find out that I can't eat this month's subscription box, but many of the sites I have seen haven't been able to offer me any reassurance on this point at any stage before I sign up.
My second question would be "Is there a menu or does everyone just get the same thing???" Based on my special dietary requirements above, having a menu where I can choose between 2 or 3 options allows me to broaden my chances of not getting something that I'm allergic to or just plain getting something that I don't like.
