EatTasty is a Portuguese sustainable meal delivery startup that produces its own fresh meals for workplace lunch and dinner deliveries from Monday to Friday, targeting office workers as an alternative to traditional canteens.[1][2] It serves companies and employees in Lisbon and Madrid by outsourcing meal prep to under-utilized local restaurant kitchens, minimizing food waste (from 14% to 3%), reducing carbon footprints, and donating surplus to charities, while using technology for efficient ordering until noon daily.[1] The company has shown strong growth, hitting 250,000 deliveries within four years of launch, serving 1,000 meals daily in Lisbon alone, employing over 30 people across Portugal and Spain, and forecasting €1M revenue in 2019 with fourfold sales growth from 2018; recent estimates peg annual revenue at $3.1M.[1][5]
EatTasty was co-founded by Rui Costa (CEO) and Orlando Lopes in Portugal, launching around 2016 after winning the Lisbon Challenge from Beta-i and earning recognition as one of Lisbon's hottest startups by Wired in 2019.[1][2] The idea emerged to disrupt on-demand food delivery by focusing on sustainability, workplace meals, and local community support, substituting corporate canteens without long-term catering contracts.[1] Early traction included exponential growth post-launch, acquiring Portuguese breakfast delivery firm Breadfast in May 2019, and expanding to Spain in July 2019, with dedicated teams for logistics, sales, and local partnerships in each city.[1]
EatTasty rides the sustainable food tech wave, capitalizing on rising demand for eco-friendly alternatives amid climate concerns and urban office returns post-pandemic, with timing amplified by 2019 Iberian expansion.[1] Market forces like food waste regulations, corporate wellness pushes, and gig economy shifts favor its low-emission, local-sourcing model over high-carbon platforms like Uber Eats.[1] It influences the ecosystem by revitalizing underused kitchens, creating jobs, and pioneering B2B meal orchestration, potentially inspiring hybrid workplace food networks across Europe.[1][3]
EatTasty is poised for pan-European growth by adding breakfasts (via Breadfast integration) and new cities beyond the Iberian Peninsula, leveraging its waste-tech and partnerships for scalable sustainability.[1] Trends like AI-optimized logistics, corporate ESG mandates, and hybrid work will propel it, potentially evolving into a full-day meal platform influencing food tech toward circular economies. This workplace disruptor, born from local innovation, could redefine sustainable eating at scale.[1][2]
