Questions
Flash meals, explained.
What exactly is a flash meal?
Food cooked this evening for the kitchen’s own service: buffet trays, bakery counters, the chef’s special, never anything already served. Each meal is packed by the kitchen’s own team and labelled with its allergens and the time it was made.Why do flash meals sell out?
Each kitchen opens only a few tables, for a few hours. When they’re reserved, that’s it for the evening. Turn on alerts in the app to hear the moment your favourite kitchen posts.Can I see allergens?
Yes. Every flash meal lists its allergens before you reserve, and the same list is on the label. If you have set your household’s allergies, the app flags any meal that contains them.Can I collect it myself?
Yes. Choose collection when you reserve and show your desk code at the hotel, or have a PikaBox rider bring it to your door.My hotel wants to join. How?
Apply on our partner page. We review every kitchen before its first flash meal goes on sale.
