Whether it be health and wellness, emerging cuisines, or entertainment, aspects of consumer lifestyle are constantly shifting to accommodate personal needs and new priorities. In the world of modern consumption and people managing an on-the-go lifestyle, it's important to stop and remember to take care of your body by providing it with the necessary nutrients to maintain our hectic lives. This is why the invention of raw salad vending machines are society's step in the right direction, and an everyday consumer's new best friend.
What is Portions?
Montreal-based food startup and restaurant Portions, co-founded by Aaron and Ryan Hutman, is proud to have delivered a conveniently packaged and readily accessible food option to busy, health conscious professionals. Ensuring freshness, each jarred salad meal offered by Portions has a four to five day shelf life and is packaged in sustainable glass containers. Restocked frequently and made fresh daily at sunrise, Portions' vending machines are ideal for corporate buildings and office spaces looking to provide employees with an alternative to traditional fast food options.
These meals are not only healthy and filled with carefully selected ingredients to nourish the mind and body, but they are eco-friendly as well. Portions' vending machines are made from other vending machines that have been refurbished to avoid waste. Their large 22-inch touchscreen makes ordering a breeze, and receipts are emailed straight to your inbox to reduce the carbon footprint. Local Canadian companies also supply Portions with PET recycled jars and corn-based cutlery. Old jars are encouraged to be recycled in Portions' kiosk drop box for pickup the following day.
#SpoonTip: To all those foodies living in the Montreal area, Portions' vending machines (they call them "Frigos") accept all major credit cards.
