Its main operations are packaging , paying close attention to the environment , and logistics up to shipping , direct to the consumer's table .
The customer who is about to purchase food online is looking for a selected product and a premium experience. The case of online meat is no exception. The company's competitive advantage is giving the customer the opportunity to find a product " directly from the farmer ", adding value and transforming the purchase into a memorable experience .
The startup has partnered exclusively with family-run companies and expert butchers in the sector, to ensure superior quality of meat and more.
Authenticity, transparency and customer focus are the drivers of the brand's philosophy.
Market scenario
The startup is part of a thriving and continually expanding market: the online meat market is currently estimated at 300 million euros .
According to the 2020 Politecnico di Milano and Netcomm Report , the online Food & Grocery market has grown on average by 40% per year in the last 4 years; furthermore, it is the sector that is growing at the fastest rate (+39%), reaching almost 1.6 billion euros in 2019 .
The most significant component (equal to 89% of the sector) is food , which can be divided into:
- Grocery Food (supermarket products) eCommerce value of €476 million

In Italy, the current online penetration in the grocery market is 1.3%, but there are studies that predict this will increase to 5% by 2023.
