Month Tiffin Service: How E Dey Cost and Wetin to Check First

Updated for 26 Ọktóba 2026 6 min read Ghar Dabba kitchen notes

Month tiffin plans dey look simple — one price, one month of meals — until travel days and the lunch wey you miss enter. Dis na wetin the price actually dey cover and wetin you suppose agree first.

Month tiffin service na the oldest agreement for house food: you pay one time, one kitchen go cook your lunch or dinner every working day, and nobody go dey think am again. The agreement go only good if you sabbi exactly wetin the month dey include. Dis guide dey cover wetin dey move the price, wetin the pause rules suppose talk, and the questions wey you go ask before you subscribe anywhere — for Ghar Dabba or with kitchen wey dey your street.

Wetin the month tiffin price actually dey cover

  • The cooking: the ingredients, the cook time, and the rotation for the month.
  • Packaging: the boxes or dabbas, labels, and spoon and fork. Some kitchens dey use dabbas wey you dey return back with small deposit.
  • Delivery: the rider or delivery person wey dey run your route, usually one time for each drop window.
  • The platform: for Ghar Dabba, payment handling, kitchen verification, and support — dem dey charge am as commission to the kitchen, not as fee wey dey stack for every order.

No one fixed month price dey exist because every kitchen dey set him own menu, his own portions, and his own delivery radius for him own currency. Wetin you fit compare, anywhere, na the cost per meal wey you actually chop: take the month divide am by the days wey the kitchen dey cook, then add packaging and delivery.

Days, weekends, and the month wey get twenty-two meals

Most month plans dey run Monday to Saturday or Monday to Friday. Month wey be weekday only na about twenty to twenty-two lunch. Ask things three: which days the kitchen dey cook, whether the amount na for the whole month or per meal day, and wetin dey happen for public holiday inside your city. Good kitchens go answer all three without dem shake.

Pause, rollover, and travel — the rules wey dey decide the real value

Here na where month tiffin plans dey differ pass everything. Read the rules before you pay, and expect one of three honest models:

  1. 1.Pause with rollover: the day wey you never use dey shift go later for the same cycle. E fair, and na the model wey dey common pass for Ghar Dabba where the app dey handle pauses.
  2. 2.Pause without rollover: dem go stop to charge you going forward, but the days wey you don already pay na like say you spend am. E simple, and e dey good if you hardly travel.
  3. 3.No pause: the month na fixed. E dey cheaper per day, but you suppose figure say you go lose few meals when you travel and add that to the price.

For Ghar Dabba, you dey agree the pause rule with the kitchen before everything start, and you dey pause or continue from the buyer app. The notice time dey matter as much as the rule itself — kitchen wey need to know am by the evening before no go happy to see your 11:00 message.

Veg, Jain, and month wey mix both

Veg tiffin service month plan na the subscription wey dey common pass because one vegetarian rotation dey fit feed plenty people for one route. If you need Jain or meals wey no get onion and garlic, treat am as separate plan, not day-by-day swap: the kitchen go need separate counter and separate pot. Our guide for Jain tiffin dey cover how to find kitchen wey truly dey cook satvik.

Questions five wey you go ask before you pay for one month

  1. 1.Wetin be the rotation of last week, and wetin next week go be?
  2. 2.Wetin be the cutoff, the delivery window, and the rule for when delivery dey late?
  3. 3.How pause and rollover dey work, and how you go give notice?
  4. 4.Whether packaging dey included, and whether you fit return the containers?
  5. 5.Wetin go happen if public holiday or kitchen holiday enter my month?

If the kitchen answer all five, you dey buy from person wey dey run this like business. Then start small: one month, not quarter agreement, and decide with data from your own table.
