The Food Box Challenge Worksheet
The Food Box Challenge Worksheet
The lockdown is creating an army of amateur chefs as food subscription box sales are booming and as a result we're
wasting less. Britain's online recipe box market was previously expected to exceed £1.5billion by 2022, but because
of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdowns, Gousto expects that most of the developed world will be
shopping for their groceries online for the first time (This is Money, 2020).
Therefore, your task is to develop a food box business which can rival the likes of Hello Fresh, Gousto, allplants, My
Muscle Chef, Butcher Box, and beyond.
You can base your food box business on any food type you wish, your aim is to create a brand which can infiltrate
this growing market.
