Core Values

We aim to bring the best experience for our clients as well as the hundreds of vendors we work with across Canada.

We think big - we’re transforming a largely offline industry, and we’re changing the way companies eat and what food at work means to a company\'s culture and collaboration.

We take risks - we’re creative and have ambitions that strive to be the absolute best in the industry from A-Z.

Our team members take ownership and have a sense of obligation to the biggest things but also to the mundane, non-glamorous small realities. We wear many hats and we learn and grow by doing so.

We solve problems - We care deeply about getting to the root cause of an issue and we do our best to resolve it with the optimal solution, using intuition and data.

We deliver results - our team members take full ownership of the tasks at hand. We’re accountable and we let others know if we’re off track. Your work makes a difference, and results drive our growth.
