After the post about Food on the Table on Lifehacker, we are overwhelmed by the response. We like the feedback because Food on the Table is a work in progress and it will become a better experience because of your input.
In fact, in the last few weeks, we’ve gotten feedback for a variety of features that are now available. This includes the ability to compare stores, add personal items to your grocery list, email the grocery list, and more. Learn more about these features on our recent blog post.
Some registrants haven’t been able to select a store. We first started in Texas, where we’re based, and we’ve been growing ever since. Where would you like us to go next? You can email stores@foodonthetable.com to let us know. Our goal is to be in all states by the end of the year.
Also, we’ve heard that just moms may not be the target customer for our site. It’s great to know that this solution is helpful for a broader base. Can you tell us more about who would find this helpful?
The bottom line is that we’re listening to you. Tell us what we need to know.

People who eat?
I’ll be honest, I was very turned off by the video. I found it rather sexist and stereotypical. I only continued to explore the site because my colleague said the content was really good, and that perhaps (based upon this blog post) the implied sexism was more out of ignorance than anything else. In which case, I’m willing to give it a pass if you are planning to improve.
Why would I find this helpful? I have no children (yet), but am married and we both work. We aren’t very picky eaters, but shopping and menu planning is a pain. We usually shop after work, and spend time standing around going “What are we going to make?” Except we’re already hungry, and we are tired, so we grab the closest and fastest items (dairy and pasta) and leave. Being able to print out a shopping list and menus before leaving work would be a huge help.
A completely different recommendation: Include seasonal menus, based upon what is available from local farmers. Many of my colleagues either use a CSA or go to the weekly market; the farm I prefer even emails me in advance to tell me what they’ll have that week. I’ve heard a lot of people struggling to find recipes that are based on seasonal produce though. I’ve tried to find recipe books; so far my only success has been a Mennonite church cookbook.
These are really good suggestions. As you know, we’re in the process of adding new features and we will definitely keep this in mind.
