Also, is the Long-Term Future Fund or the Infrastructure Fund granting all the donations it receives? If so, it doesn’t seem very reasonable to me to believe that ordering meals to save a few minutes or for your own enjoyment is a better use of money than their marginal grants for a longtermist supporting the same causes.
If you’re in such a special position that these meals are justified, then I think you should probably have a personal assistant. If your employer or these funds aren’t willing to pay for one for you (and you can ask/apply to check!) or to pay you enough to afford one yourself, then that’s good evidence that others with relevant expertise evaluating your work do not think you’re in such a position.
