I don't use them since most, if not all of their meals are meat based. However, I can think of a few reasons why people might use them and one of them is what you mentioned. Without judging why, some people have busy lives. Between jobs, kids, after school activities, etc.; I can see using a business like this (if I were too busy, which I'm not).

Here are a few ways I can think of to use it: 1. As a gift to someone who doesn't like to cook, maybe they have gift certificates 2. For a family that has someone who is sick or in the hospital. Sure, it's one step below a home cooked meal from your house, but it's a step above purchasing a Stouffer's frozen lasagne pan. Having just been in the hospital twice in the last few months, my daughter and husband (who has cooked about 5 times in his 46 years) would have loved a gift like that; a pan of whatever to just stick in the oven. 3. For a party where you want to be a hostess yet enjoy your party. Everything would be ready in advance, without having had to shop for the food, put it all away, prep it, mess up your kitchen, clean it all up. Instead...clean the house, shower, pour yourself a glbutt of wine and stick the pans in the oven 4.How about for an office party, a shower, or any type of celebration where you want to bring a nice dish but don't have a great imagination, are not a very good cook or you hate cooking! 5. Variety-a place like this might teach you how to become more creative and how to vary your boring routine of the same foods, week after week. 6. It might be fun to get a bunch of friends together and go to one of these places and make a social event out of it instead of going out for lunch or having drinks and eating unhealthy happy hour foods. 7.How about a date night? My husband does not know how to cook...it's possible that he and could do something like this and he'd learn...and not learn from me. Or how about a parent and child event...something different, fun and educational. And it has been proven that kids are more prone to eat what they choose and prepare. Sure, it can be done at home, but sometimes doing something different is not only okay...but it's great.

I'll bet if I spent more time thinking, I could come up with a lot more reasons. Don't know it until you've tried it. I haven't tried it and I"m not knocking it. I give the people credit who opened a business like this. They believe in something and more power to them. It's not like they're doing something hazardous or habit forming :-) I have written to them and asked about offering veggie choices. Being someone who is not particularly thrilled about cooking (since I've gotten dx'd with cancer), I honestly might consider something like this when I have to stay in the hospital again. Remember, to some of you, grocery shopping, prep work, cooking and cleaning the kitchen is something you take for granted. That's not something that everyone takes for granted.
