“It’s good to know that you’re feeding hungry professionals everyday who face the same dilemma that my business partner and I used to face; wanting to eat healthy, wanting it to be convenient and wanting it to be affordable,” says Daniel Perel, BComm 10.
All FreshMint’s orders are placed and paid for online, then cooked up in FreshMint’s kitchen in Montreal’s Old Port and delivered by bicycle to offices and homes throughout downtown.
“We don’t outsource any parts of the experience, that’s what makes us quite unique.”
Not just unique but innovative. By using biodegradable packaging, delivering by bike and striving to use local and seasonal produce, FreshMint is changing the food delivery industry for the better.
“We have the environment and local community at heart,” Perel says. “And when it comes to eating local produce, I think it’s pretty obvious that the closer the farm is to where you are located, the fresher and healthier the ingredients are.”
Those simple, sustainable innovations made FreshMint stand out to the Claudine and Stephen Bronfman Family Foundation.
Annually, the foundation sponsors 25 young entrepreneurs to attend C2 Montreal. Entrepreneurs are selected from a group of more than 300 in recognition of their innovative business models.
Perel teams up with local companies, most recently popular vegan restaurant Aux Vivres, to offer their food through FreshMint’s platform alongside their own home-cooked meals.
