the website does not mention which US cities forkable is currently serving, unless users sign up.. i guess this information should be present before user sign up.

@varun7773 We've been expanding so quickly, it would quickly get out of date. After folks complete our short sign up form, it helps us prioritize our upcoming launch cities. Then we get back to them as soon as we are live in their city.

Could you list the cities you're available in right now?
Joe Kumph
@mechakoichi We're currently live in San Francisco, Silicon Valley, New York and Boston. LA and a bunch of other cities are right around the corner. We've even prepping international cities.

@joecode would be good to put this on your site

Great idea! How hard is to get restaurants onboard? It would be super cool to integrate this with Seamless or Postmates.
Joe Kumph
@jenleeny Getting restaurants onboard is not too hard, the main thing is ensuring quality and making sure we have a good operating relationship with them. We send very large orders to our partners and do delivery ourselves. In most cases, if we just sent the orders through external services, it would result in subpar service for our customers. Restaurants, btw, really love us, because we give them lots of advance notice... and our professional drivers make sure their food arrives in great condition, ensuring the integrity of their brand.

Can you tell us more about your "lunchbot AI"?
Joe Kumph
@asapauden A little (the full algorithm is a trade secret). Basically we use a mix of machine learning, NLP, and good old fashioned heuristics. We're even considering throwing some deep learning / watson style AI into the mix.

I love waiting for my Forkable lunch 🙌
Erin Grimm
We switched from Eat Club to Forkable at Darby Smart and are very happy with the options and service. It's nice to be able to have lunch delivered from restaurants we all know and enjoy. I'm looking forward to even smarter recommendations and a mobile app!

Congrats on the launch, @joecode! It's been great having you guys as customers, and we may soon be customers of yours ;) we're considering catered lunches once a week. I'll be in touch!
Joe Kumph
@kentuktek Thanks Khaled! Onfleet is awesome!
Frank Denbow
In what ways can the meals be customized?
Joe Kumph
@frankdenbow It works a lot like Seamless in terms of customization. You can change options as usual, and you can also add any special notes you like, which (usually) will be honored by the restaurant.

Atlanta on your list?
Joe Kumph
@jacksonventures Absolutely. We're prepping a full national rollout. And soon international.
