why students keep it
- single containers fit a mini-fridge and stay fresh 5 to 7 days.
- 2 minutes in the floor microwave and it's a real dinner, not ramen.
- high-protein by default: meals run 30g to 60g, and the bakery hits 18g to 38g, with macros printed on every label. built for gym schedules.
- gluten-free and vegan options on the standing menu.
- sunday delivery means the week starts stocked, including the sunday night the dining options let you down.
the math vs delivery apps
- tandoco: $11.50 to $12.65 a meal, delivery from $4 and free over $65.
- no service fees and no tip prompts: one driver brings the whole week at once.
- a delivery-app order routinely lands at $20+ per meal after fees and tip.
- one sunday order replacing five app orders pays for itself twice.
- every order earns tandocoins toward free food. how rewards work

dorm delivery · faq.
do you deliver food to umn dorms?
Yes. The University of Minnesota campus and the neighborhoods around it, including Dinkytown, Stadium Village and the West Bank, are inside tandoco's Sunday delivery zone (zips 55455, 55454 and 55414). Order by Thursday at 11:59pm and your meals arrive Sunday between 3pm and 9pm. The driver texts on the way so you can meet them at your building's entrance.
how do dorm meals work without a kitchen?
Every tandoco meal is fully cooked and packed in a single-serving container that fits a mini-fridge and reheats in a microwave in about 2 minutes. Meals stay fresh in the fridge for 5 to 7 days, so one Sunday delivery covers a week of real food with nothing to cook.
do i need a subscription?
No. There is no subscription and nothing to cancel. Order a week when you want one, skip finals week, order again in January. Most national meal services require an active subscription; tandoco is order-when-you-want.
is this cheaper than delivery apps every night?
Usually, yes. tandoco meals run $11.50 to $12.65 each, with delivery from $4 per order and free over $65, and there are no service fees and no tip prompts because one driver brings the whole week at once. A single delivery-app order routinely lands at $20 or more per meal after fees and tip. One Sunday order replacing five app orders is the whole math.
can parents send tandoco to a student?
Yes, and it is common. Place an order with the student's dorm or apartment address at checkout and it arrives Sunday with macros and allergens printed on every label, or send a tandoco gift card and let them pick their own menu. There is no subscription, so it can be a one-time care package or a weekly standing thing you control.
do you take meal plans or dining dollars?
No. tandoco is a local Minneapolis kitchen and is not connected to university meal plans, FlexDine or dining dollars. Orders are placed at tandoco.com with a regular card, and tandocoins rewards accumulate on every order.
show up fed, every week.
order by thursday 11:59pm, and sunday your week of real food is at your building. from $11.50 a meal, delivery from $4 and free over $65, no subscription ever.
