What is MMOW Sunday Stock-Up?

MMOW Sunday Stock-Up is homestyle vegetarian Marathi food for the week ahead, delivered Sunday evening in the St. Louis area. You choose a combination of the week’s available bhajis and daals, add only the extras you need, and begin the week with comforting food already in your refrigerator.

Is Sunday Stock-Up replacing the earlier weekly-meal and à-la-carte options?

Yes. Sunday Stock-Up is now MMOW’s primary ordering model. The earlier fixed complete-meal and separate à-la-carte formats have been retired.

Why did MMOW move to Sunday Stock-Up?

Customers told us they wanted more flexibility and more help at the beginning of the week including both lunches and dinner. Sunday Stock-Up allows you to choose the food your household actually needs instead of ordering a fixed meal for a particular day. Sunday delivery also gives you a useful head start before Monday begins.

Is this restaurant-style or on-demand ordering?

No. MMOW is not a restaurant or delivery app. Food is prepared by local home chefs based on confirmed advance orders. The weekly cutoff gives us time to plan quantities, purchase groceries and prepare your food with care.

Is Sunday Stock-Up a subscription?

No. There is no subscription or recurring commitment. You may order during any week when the menu works for you.

What can I order?

Each weekly menu normally includes a selection of bhajis and daals for your base order. Depending on the week, optional add-ons may include:

• Chapatis

• Bhakri or Paratha

• Rice variety

• Side dish

• Special-preparation bhaji

• Sweet or festival special

Not every add-on is offered every week.

What is the minimum base order and what happens if I don't meet the minimum?

The base order requires a minimum of 4 × 16 oz containers. These may be selected from the bhajis and daals available on that week’s menu.

Can I choose any combination of bhaji and daal?

Yes. You may mix and match the available selections in any combination, as long as your base order totals at least four containers. For example: One container of each available item, two bhajis and two daals, three containers of one item and one of another, any other available combination totaling four or more

Are all menu items available every week?

No. The menu changes based on the dishes planned for that week, chef availability and seasonal ingredient availability. Please review the current weekly menu before ordering.
