Honest Food Company is Europe's leading "Ghost Restaurant"​ chain. Our virtual restaurant brands are the most beloved and successful in Europe. Each virtual brand is the result of thousands of hours of rigorous testing and development by the most talented chefs, using the most fresh and exciting ingredients. We make sure, that our dishes are always 100% in line with our customer’s taste by structuring the dish development completely around the feedback data we collect. The most important ingredient in all our dishes is the love we put into them. Still- a main focus of our daily work is to build great processes, hard- and software to support and monitor every step of food production and delivery. Our take on handling the complexity of sending out ten thousands of dishes every day over hundreds of kitchen locations is to heavily focus on tech!
