Food App Ritual Is Offering $1 Lunches All Week

Just because your bank account is looking a little empty, doesn't mean you've got to resort to sad, uninspiring lunchtime fare. At least, not this week, with food app Ritual dishing up tasty meals for just $1 a pop.

Having launched in Sydney late last year, the mobile order and pay app is now available in Melbourne — and it's offering a very sweet deal to celebrate. It's dropping the price of select menu items from 150 of its CBD restaurants to just $1 a pop until November 8.

In this budget-friendly lineup you'll find feeds from some of your favourite CBD vendors, which normally clock in at around $15. We're talking classic burgs from Betty's Burgers, cream cheese bagels from 5 & Dime, salami toasties from The Meating House and rice paper rolls from Roll'd. There are also $1 ice bubble teas from Coco Fresh Tea & Juice, coffees from Mister Munro, croissants from Weirdoughs and Chunky hot dogs from Chunky Town.

Just remember that you do need to pick up your drink or meal, so make sure the eatery is in walking distance.

Download the app and you'll be able to tap into three of these $1 deals over the week the offer is running. Which means a few mornings of extra shut-eye, thanks to not having to whip up lunch yourself. You'll also get to road test some of Ritual's nifty features, including a 'skip the line' function that allows you to order ahead and avoid queues, and 'skip the trip', where you can group together multiple orders from the one office to save everyone from making the same trek.

There are a couple of restrictions, though. The deal is only valid between 5am and 5pm daily, and you can only order once per day and once per restaurant. You can check out all the nitty-gritty details over here.

Ritual is offering three $1 meals or drinks per user through its app (for Android or iOS) until 5pm on Friday, November 8.
