Making lunch the best part of every day.

How We Started

In 2011, I embarked on an entrepreneurial journey completely by accident. I wanted to solve a problem. My two elementary aged kids were in a small private school that didn’t have a solid lunch solution. We had just had our third child and so packing daily lunches was getting harder and harder. Within a few years what had started out a self-fulfilling solution ended up being a profitable, bootstrapped brand with a couple of full-time employees. Today, as a larger team, we continue to grow and learn as a company and our goal is to improve ourselves, the lives of our customers, and our communities.

Supporting Our Community Beyond Lunch

We are passionate about making a meaningful impact beyond just lunch. That’s why we give our partner schools the option to implement a fundraising kickback on every meal ordered through our platform. In fact, we helped raise over $350,000 in fundraising last year. 

In addition, we donate a portion of our proceeds each year to No Kid Hungry, in an effort to put an end to childhood hunger in America. Join us in making a difference, both in and out of the lunchroom. 

Let's do lunch.
