Idea
Hey! Food is Ready is an online marketplace connecting certified cooks from different cultural backgrounds with companies looking for a diverse selection of food at their events. Using this online marketplace, home cooks can sell their meals, with marketing provided. Organisations can order from us, try authentic, wholesome, homecooked meals for their upcoming events while supporting their local community. With the increase of industrial cooking, we hope to use this platform to maintain the authenticity of homemade dishes and keep human connection at the heart of ordering food.
Impact
At the heart of Hey! Food is Ready is a community dedicated to promoting diversity and inclusion, while enabling local food economies to grow and thrive. We want to explore alternative options to mainstream cuisine types by offering more variety from a diverse range of food vendors in local areas.
Connecting with communities across the UK, we have supported immigrants, refugees, carers, stay-at-home parents, retirees, or anyone who loves cooking to monetise their cooking skills. We believe that food and culture are connected, and are essential for building the foundations of communities and encouraging cultural assimilation.
Get in touch
Hey! Food is Ready is more than just a catering provider. All of our cooks are carefully selected, chosen from people from diverse cultural backgrounds across the UK to showcase their culturally inspired recipes. If you have an event idea in mind and looking for catering service, or just want to find out a bit more, please contact us via email, we are happy to have a chat!
