Why B2C Retrofits No Longer Work for Workplaces
Many workplaces still depend on traditional food delivery apps created for individual consumers. While these platforms offer convenience, they fall short in critical areas:
- Bulk logistics: Managing 50+ meals in one drop
- Personalization: Limited support for dietary filters or preferences
- Reliability: Delivery times vary, especially during peak hours
- Hygiene compliance: Inconsistent standards across vendors
- Admin overhead: Manual tracking of orders, issues, and budgets
Real-World Problem
Imagine 40 employees ordering lunch from the same app, and each courier arrives separately.
This leads to:
- High admin burden
- Delivery chaos
- Lost productivity
- Poor employee experience
What a Purpose-Built Platform Solves
Centralized Ordering
A single portal for all food needs: lunch, snacks, pop-ups, or team events.
Automated Meal Management
Feedr’s Autopilot tool automates recurring meals based on:
- Team size
- Budget
- Dietary preferences
Individually Labelled Meals
Every meal comes clearly marked with:
- Employee name
- Allergens
- Dietary category
No more sorting or mix-ups.
Compliance & Hygiene
- All vendors have 4* hygiene ratings or higher
- Allergens are tracked at an individual level
Emissions-Free Delivery
