Dispatch Goods is a San Francisco-based service that emphasizes the need for making sustainable choices with a food container system. The brand has built a convenient and rewarding initiative in this space, encouraging individuals to be more mindful when they order take-out.
Consumers can select and place an order through Dispatch Goods and the brand picks up the food in its reusable containers. The business does curbside collection twice a month and individuals who partake in the food container system receive a text day-of. The only thing they have to do is place their used boxes outside their doorstep.
Dispatch Goods offers a monthly membership that comes with some perks. This includes no extra fees for containers, a fourth bin for storing empty containers until collection day, a monthly sustainability report that measures an individual's impact, and exclusive access to on-demand delivery from restaurant partners which is coming soon.
