Meal-Planning Content and Virtual Menus

This is a strange and difficult time for a lot of people. In the current circumstances, eating, drinking and connecting have all completely changed — shopping is a challenge; going to the grocery store is scary and stressful; getting food delivered is strange and unsettling; we can't meet and eat face-to-face with friends and family.

On the other hand, we're learning how to weave new technologies into our lives. We're online shopping (e.g. Whisk, Instacart, Amazon Prime) and video chatting (e.g. Zoom, Google Meet and Facetime). Being physically separated from each other is making us realize how much we care about, and rely on, each other for so much.

We're all figuring out how to do this “new normal”, and it's tough.

We share these feelings, and we want to help. So Dish Works is responding with creative new products that can help brands meet their customers’ new needs: to simplify cooking, streamline shopping, and bring people together.
