We produce healthy, delicious vegan food. We deliver three meals a day, in reusable containers and bags.
What is the mission of the project?
First of all, we try to strengthen and nourish with our food. We deliver a product that is inexpensive, delicious and interesting. We want to show to our customers the richness of plant-based cuisine and its beneficial effects on the body.
We reduce the amount of waste production compared to standard food catering (by excluding disposable packaging and bags), and we do not use semi-finished products, white flour or white sugar. All production takes place in the spirit of less waste, and we are proud of the results.
Where and when did the project start?
Gdynia, Poland — June 2019.
Where (in which countries) is the service offered today?
Poland.
To whom is this service aimed?
We deliver dietary catering that is different from those available on the market. Although we only produce vegan food, there are many carnivores among our customers. In our reusable containers, there are no compartments for various elements of the dishes, washed bananas in the peel are next to the vanilla cream cheese, salad next to the groats. The customer must put in extra energy to use our services, the boxes must be washed and then returned. These are not solutions or flavours for everyone. We focus on the values we believe in are important to us, so we direct our offer to people for whom these values are consistent with their beliefs.

What do you consider to be the most innovative aspects of your concept?
First of all, not trying to meet the needs of all potential customers, which is not so obvious in the world of Polish gastronomy. We offer only one variant of the diet and we allow customers to exclude certain products if it is possible. We plan production in such a way to limit the amount of generated leftovers and waste.
We accept new clients once a week, which also excludes food overproduction. We are constantly looking for solutions that will allow us to reduce the amount of generated waste. Our supplier limits the use of plastic, and we also return the cartons for reuse.
What are the most important impacts of your service in terms of sustainability?
By cooking in large amounts, we reduce energy consumption. Clients who choose us among other companies don’t throw away a lot of plastic every day. If it is about the development of the company itself, we act very slowly and organically. We try different solutions and test them for what we think is best for both the client and the environment. As we develop slowly, we have the opportunity to carefully observe the processes and adapt them to changes. We consider it the best way to maintain quality while increasing production.
A healthy company may only function well if it is powered by satisfied employees. We prepare food only during working days, so our employees can spend Christmas and weekends with close ones, and their careers in gastronomy does not exclude them from pleasant social rituals and well-deserved rest.
Which aspects are particularly interesting from a design perspective?
An attractive, user-friendly way to enable and spread healthy, climate-friendly food habits.

Do you also offer the service digitally?
We are an internet shop and you can order your food online.
What are some interesting numbers about the project?
We provide three vegan meals a day in three box sizes (S, M, XL) with 0% white sugar, 0% white meal.
What happens next? What are your goals?
To take control of the Tricity market, opening bistro-kiosks with our food, and making children and teenagers in schools aware that eating healthy can be more delicious than unhealthy food.
