Kitchen Team Member - Hunsicker
Lexington, KY 40508
About the Job
Description
Packed is a new business concept hatched out of Hunsicker, an impact venture studio in Lexington, KY. Packed offers convenient, tasty, and nutritious preassembled school lunches for kids and teachers alike. Packed's model allows individuals to preorder and prepay for meals of their choosing, which are then prepared, personalized and delivered directly to the school where they'll be consumed. Kids are treated like customers in a restaurant, empowered by making their own food choices and getting customized servings. And as a benefit to families, Packed lunches eliminate the headache of lost or dirty lunch boxes! Parents and school staff can have peace of mind that kids are getting everything their brains and bodies need to be happy and well-nourished.
In the spring of 2024, the Packed lunch program was piloted at a private school in Lexington. By the end of the pilot, Packed was serving over half of eligible students every week. Packed is launching in multiple schools at the start of the 2024-2025 school year, and plans to continue to expand to more schools throughout the year. More details can be found at lunchispacked.com.
