What happens if I miss the delivery?

Please let us know if you expect to miss the delivery asap so we can accommodate you. e.g. moving you to an earlier or later time slot. If however you are not home when we arrive we will bring the meals back to our Hackescher Markt warehouse. You can then message us through the apps Customer Support to see if another delivery can take place on another riders route or you can pick it up by 7pm. Meals which are not picked up by 7pm will be donated to avoid food waste.

How is my meal packaged?

All meals come in high quality reusable containers. Some containers are from Vytal, others are from our kitchen partners while some of them are our own. At the moment we do not charge you a deposit for the containers, however this may change in the future. You can see the number of outstanding containers in your app.

Is your packaging environmentally friendly?

All our meal bowls are made of high quality recyclable material (so please do not throw them away). We come to your place and while delivering two meals we also take the bowls back from the previous day. It would be great if you can rinse them out before handing them back to us. However at our warehouse we clean them professionally anyway.
