A new fine dining delivery service is now bringing Londonโs best restaurants to businesses.
Yolkย launchedย just a few weeks ago and boasts an industry-first heating system delivering the cityโs best restaurants to corporates as the chefs intend โ perfectly presented, fresh and hot.
The heating plate technology and specially trained riders that act like waiters ensure high-quality restaurant food is kept at optimum temperature in transit so that when it reaches your office, you need not to worry about lacklustre temperature or presentation. Yolk is proud that it is able to deliver some of Londonโs best restaurants including Park Chinois, STK and Aquavit to offices up to five miles away.
Operating exclusively in the centre of London, Yolkย is an app designed to offer a more personalised corporate concierge service delivering luxury restaurants.ย Users are assured of an on-demand, fine dining experience that matches the standards of the capitalโs best restaurants, taking in-office dining with colleagues and prospects to the next level. Yolkโs ambition: to deliver the same standard and high-quality food as found when eating in a restaurant.
Founderย Bernardo Bragaย is a young tech entrepreneur with a passion for the best cuisine. Inspired by his own food-delivery experiences in London, he set out to revolutionise the existing offerings.
He said: โDuring lockdown, food delivery services became more popular than ever. In reality though, too often the exemplary cuisine being produced by Londonโs best chefs and restaurants is let down by the final step of bringing it to your door. As we return to the office, Yolk was born to change this, delivering the very finest of food exactly as you would expect to see it presented in a restaurant โ itโs like having your very own chef. I am pleased to say that Yolk is also contributing to the smooth continuation of office lunches and client meetings beyond the crisis by providing the finest quality delivery service has arrived in London.โ
Yolkโs unique and versatile heating systems for its delivery bikes guarantees this promise.ย Using silicone heat mats exclusive to Yolk, food is maintained at exact temperatures. Adjustable trays are configured to suit the size of the dish ordered and theย flexible heaters are connected to the bikeโs battery to keep it at the constant temperature chosen by the chef as it leaves the kitchen, whether that is hot, up toย 60ยฐc, or chilled, down to 15ยฐc. Yolk has also launched in-app temperature tracking, so users can tell the exact temperature of their food whilst in transit. For chefs, it gives the confidence that their food will be showcased at its very best upon arrival.
The fleet of Yolk riders are trained to exacting standards, understanding that dishes are a work of art and are to be treated carefully as such.
