Always had this thought:
Most of the food delivery platforms (incl. Seamless) let you list your own restaurant with just llc bc of the ghost kitchen wave. Couldn't someone set up a fake restaurant and then order pickup from said restaurant to pocket the dining stipend? Prob too much work tbh.
In theory (if you really wanted to), you could avoid spending the money you earn from work (your salary + base) on purchasing food and just pocket it too.
Too bad humans need to eat.
Based on the most helpful WSO content, the best meal to hit your $30 dinner stipend in NYC could be a variety of options depending on your preferences. For instance, you could consider a steak burrito with guacamole from Chipotle, which costs around $11.49. If you're looking for a healthier option, a meal delivery service like Freshly offers meals as low as $8.99.
As for setting up a fake restaurant to pocket the dining stipend, while it might be theoretically possible, it would likely involve a lot of work and potential legal issues. It's also important to remember that the purpose of the stipend is to cover the cost of meals during long work hours, so it's best to use it for its intended purpose.
Remember, the goal is to nourish your body so you can perform at your best, not just to hit a stipend limit. So, choose meals that you enjoy and that provide you with the energy you need to succeed.

Nah but this bot has got to stop. $11.49 steak burrito with guac where? South Carolina?
I live in SC and a steak burrito with guacamole at Chipotle is $17.25 pre tax. My city used to be called a LCOL city, but I think it is really MCOL compared to flyover states.
