What to Ask Before Hiring a Tiffin Service
A few clear questions separate a dependable tiffin service from one that disappoints after week one. Use this list on every enquiry call.
Hygiene and licensing
Ask if the kitchen is FSSAI licensed, how food is packed, and whether utensils are cleaned daily. Profiles on ApnaThali may show FSSAI details when available.
Coverage, timing, and substitutions
Confirm your area is covered, typical delivery time, and what happens if a dish is unavailable. A professional tiffin service should explain substitutions upfront.
Money and flexibility
Clarify monthly vs daily rates, security deposits, pause days, and refund rules. Always start with a trial meal when possible.
