Buying guide

Practical advice for restaurants.

Size to your menu

Review your top dishes and choose two or three box sizes that cover most of the menu.

Seal every delivery bag

A custom sticker over the fold helps show customers the order hasn't been opened.

Keep extras separate

Pack cutlery, napkins and sauces in a small bag so they don't get lost or soggy.

Test with your saucier dishes

Try your packaging with your oiliest and saucier dishes before a busy weekend.
