Like to Learn More?
 
Take advantage of our "Lunch and Learn" program.  This is a great way to learn more about Vmeals and what it can do for you.  If your organization has eight or more administrators that order out food frequently, then you might qualify for a free catered  lunch!  One of our providers will cater the lunch and we will  make a brief  presentation introducing you and your organization to the service.  That's it!  We hope you will find using Vmeals as compelling as hundreds of  others now using  the service to order food for all sorts of business and personal  functions.
 

 
Introducing the VCAP!  Program
 
You know what frequent flyer miles are.  Now we have the same type of program for Vmeals customers in the Washington, DC area.  It works like this:  For every dollar you spend on  food ordered in a calendar quarter you will receive 1 point which can  be converted into a gift certificate at that reward level.  It's that simple!  Here are the categories:
 
 
            Number of Points Achieved                                             Award
                In a Calendar Quarter
 
            1000 to 2499 Points                                       $15 Gift Certificate to Barnes and Noble*
                                                           
            2500  to 4999 Points                                      $25 Gift Certificate to Pottery Barn*

            *All winners will be entered into a quarterly drawing  to win a $150 Gift Certificate
              at Nordstroms.  The more reward levels you attain, the more times your name is
              entered for the Grand  Prize.  Plus, if you recommend us to someone you will receive 
              500 extra points after they place their first order!
 
Note:  If your organization does not permit you to accept these types of awards, we  would be pleased to make a donation of equal value to a charity of your choice.

We have many satisfied customers who are using our service over and over.  In fact, according to our surveys over 93% would recommend our service to others.  Just listen to what one satisfied  user recently said:  "I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the wonderful service we (I) received with my first Vmeals order.  Everything went  smoothly and the ordering process could not have been more perfect.   I will definitely order from you all again"--Evelyn Peters, Symantec
