Abstract

The system and method of the present invention are directed to managing and providing periodic subscription-based victuals preparation and delivery services to customers thereof, while enabling the customers to selectively alter and/or manage pending planned victuals deliveries without necessarily sacrificing or decreasing the health, nutrition, and weight- management benefits thereof. Advantageously, the inventive system and method also provide customers with configurable subscription options, both with respect to the type of subscription plan purchased (e.g., relating to meal types, quantities, frequency of deliveries, pending order change and cancellation options, etc.), as well as with respect to type of subscriber account (individual, group, and third party). The inventive system and method also comprise an intelligent automated menu-building component, operable to (1 ) generate a pool of available menu selections that are individualized for each subscriber or subscriber group, for each delivery day of their corresponding subscription plan cycle, and to (2) automatically select a default menu choice for each prepared meal category, based at least in part on the subscriber's expressed and/or implied preferences. Additionally, the present invention also provides a system and method for developing new victuals offerings, having an increased probability of favorable acceptance by the subscribers.
