Food and tech is at the heart of what we do. Using industry-leading technology, we’ve connected over 6 million people to delicious food so far. By 2025 we’ll have delivered 400 million delicious meals to dinner tables across the country… and we’re only just getting started.
Join us and let’s dream big and deliver bigger.
Unbox possibility.
Our Ambition
As we scale we need to create a world class operational capability to make sure we deliver to our rapidly expanding customer base on time and error free. What’s more, we want to provide the most flexible and customisable food platform in the world, to do this we will need to deal with huge amounts of complexity to meet the demands of our customers. We believe that we can only create this kind of capability with the right blend of best-of- breed operational processes plus cutting edge technology. We want to build a different kind of platform, one that can:
- Provide a same day delivery service for highly perishable fresh food
- Allow the customer to flex and choose exactly what they want in their recipes and in their box
- Maintain industry leading levels of low wastage
- Not just fulfil our own recipe boxes but also fulfil for other businesses (there’s no better way to test our own capabilities than against the market)
