KiwiBot

Now walk with us on this one, Robots… No, we aren't talking about Ultron or Wall-E. KiwiBot is a unique service that provides food delivery robots with human-like capabilities and AI-powered functions to universities. Transparency with data is so important, especially when we are talking AI, and that's something the team at KiwiBot recognised early on. Any business owner can access any data and view insights if they wish to. Not only do they care about transparency, but environmentalism is also atop their long list of achievements, with their team making efforts to rapidly reduce their carbon footprint.

Too Good To Go

For companies like Costa and Pret, in order to keep their food fresh, food waste at the end of the day is a natural part of life. Too Good To Go is trying to change that. Food accessibility was a problem long before the pandemic, and the TGTG team have created a user-friendly app that pairs users with businesses to help minimise food waste. All you need to do is put in your area and then you immediately connect with businesses who at the end of the day have a surplus of food, then you can go and collect as much or as little as they are willing to offer for a few pounds at most. Whether you consume the food, or simply donate it to someone suffering, Too Good To Go is revolutionising the way brands deal with food waste.

HelloFresh

I'm sure you are no stranger to a HelloFresh advert popping up on your TikTok feed or the latest vlog you are watching. Considered ‘America's Number One Meal Kit’, HelloFresh offers perfectly portioned ingredients for predetermined meals straight to your door. Ranging from celiac to vegan, no dietary restriction is out of bounds in the world of HelloFresh and the package can be dropped at your door every single week. With a busy job, busy life and busy mind knowing that you have the exact ingredients already laid out for your meals is often the only peace you need at the end of your day. Because let's be real, there is nothing more tedious than chopping up broccoli.
