Let’s Get Fed
Episode description
Having grown up in the UK, Becky Erwood has been a long-time consumer of frozen (and fresh) ready to eat meals. It’s a mature market overseas and the food you buy is generally excellent quality. When Becky moved to NZ, she realized that a similar concept didn’t really exist in NZ and her only option was to go back to the kitchen and cook.
In our conversation, she rightly identifies that, ““You can love cooking and be really good at it, but you may not have the time or the inclination to cook seven days a week.” To solve this problem, Becky Erwood co-founded Get Fed, a company that provides ready-made meals delivered to your door. The menu rotates weekly and customers can either place a one-off order or can subscribe to a weekly family plan. When compared to meal kits or takeout, the difference is that there is no cooking or planning involved, simply reheating.
On this episode we talk about:
- Being a foodie but not wanting to cook daily
- The process of researching, creating a business plan and finding a co-founder
- The growing trend of ready to eat meals in New Zealand
- Ready to eat meals compared to takeout, is it the same?
- The evolving stay at home economy and what it means for services like Get Fed
Get Fed has meal options for people that are health-focused, for children or even for those that like to explore new cuisines.
