Maven Meals: Frequently Asked Questions

Browse the weekly menu, add what looks good to your cart, and check out. You can order anytime between Monday morning, when the new menu goes live, and Sunday night at midnight.

A new menu goes live every Monday morning. Browse and order anytime between Monday and Sunday night at midnight. Your meals are prepared in the kitchen that week and delivered fresh to your door on your designated delivery day (Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, depending on your ZIP code). Everything is à la carte; you pick the dishes you want, no set boxes or bundles.

No. There's no subscription, no commitment, no minimum order and nothing to cancel. You order the weeks you want, skip the weeks you don't, and that's the whole arrangement.

Yes. There's nothing to pause or cancel because there's nothing recurring. If you don't place an order by Sunday night at midnight, you simply don't get a delivery that week. Order again whenever you're ready.

Yes, anytime before the Sunday night deadline. Log in to your account or use the link in your order confirmation email to make changes. After the deadline, the kitchen has already bought the ingredients and started prepping, so changes aren't guaranteed, but call us at (206) 557-7985 and we'll do what we can.

Discount codes can be combined with the free delivery offer on orders over $95, but other discount codes can't be stacked together on a single order.

Select Gift Cards at the top of the screen, then choose an amount and how it arrives. You can email the card straight to the recipient, or print it yourself to hand over. Add a personal message either way; an emailed card reaches them within minutes.

When checking out for a gift card, select “Store Pickup” as your delivery option. This autofills the kitchen’s address so you don’t need to enter a shipping address for a digital product. Gift card purchases are non-refundable.

Maven Meals doesn't store credit card numbers in its system. You enter your payment information at checkout each time, or use Google Pay, Apple Pay or Shop Pay for faster checkout.

Every week. A new menu goes live every Monday morning with 25 or more dishes across breakfast, lunch, dinner, salad bar, and bakery.

No. Maven Meals is not a meal kit. You won't get a box of raw ingredients and a recipe card. Every dish arrives fully cooked, portioned and ready to heat. The food is prepared and packaged in Maven's commercial kitchen in SeaTac, not shipped frozen from a warehouse across the country.

You can filter the menu on the website by dietary preference, including gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and more. The goal is to offer something for everyone, though Maven doesn't follow specific diet plans like keto or Whole30.

Our kitchen handles a wide range of ingredients in a shared space, so we can't guarantee that any dish is completely free of a specific allergen. If you have a severe allergy, please email hello@mavenmeals.com before ordering so we can talk through what will work.

Every menu item lists its full ingredients and dietary tags (gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free) on the product page. Detailed nutritional data like calorie counts and macros isn't available. Because the menu changes every week with entirely new dishes, generating lab-grade nutritional breakdowns for each one isn't feasible at Maven's scale.

Every meal comes with heating instructions right on the label. Most dishes need a quick warm-up in the microwave or oven and are ready to eat in a few minutes.

Most meals keep for four to five days in the fridge. Items from the Stock Your Freezer menu are meant to be frozen and will last longer.

Your order arrives on your delivery day, which is Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday depending on your ZIP code. We don't give a set delivery time. If you won't be there, leave a protected spot out of the weather at your home or office and we'll leave your order there.

$4.99 flat, per order. Delivery is free on orders over $95.

There's also a way to waive the fee without hitting that threshold: when three or more people in the same building order in the same week, everyone gets the delivery fee credited back. It works in apartment buildings and office suites, and it's how a lot of our regulars stopped paying for delivery.

Your meals arrive in a corrugated cardboard box with ice packs and insulated liners to keep everything fresh. Each dish is in a sealed container labeled with heating instructions and a full ingredient list.

Make sure there's a protected spot out of the weather where we can leave your delivery, like a covered porch or entryway. We're not able to deliver to secure buildings without access or leave orders with front desk staff. If you have specific instructions, add them to your account under Account Settings.

Yes. Choose Store Pickup at checkout and pick up your meals from the kitchen at 2351 South 200th Street, SeaTac, WA 98198. The kitchen is open for pickup Monday through Wednesday. There's no delivery fee for pickup orders.
