As the June 2017 business trends reveal, there is still a strong demand for business that offer at-home dining experience. Beyond basis meal subscription services, a number of brands have found create ways to elevate at-home dining.
In recent years, meal kit subscription services have become extremely popular. In order to maintain this level of popularity, many of these companies are resorting to creative ways to improve their meal kits. For instance, HelloFresh recently created an exclusive club that offers unique wine and food pairings to subscribers.
Beyond meal kit subscriptions, the June 2017 business trends highlight a number of new food delivery services. For instance, FooDrool is a new service that promises to bring premium meals prepared at high-end hotels and restaurants directly to the door of consumers. Similarly, Ruru Baked is a new business that delivers small-batch ice cream and pastries to consumers in Toronto.
