The everyday problem

Meals should not consume the workday, or the wage.

Many onsite workers have limited time, rising food costs and too few affordable options close to where they work. Leaving site takes time. Buying lunch every day adds up. Skipping it should not be the fallback.

Price

Everyday bought lunch can strain a weekly budget.

Time

Short breaks make travelling for food impractical.

Access

Some workplace clusters have few genuinely low-cost options nearby.

Planned launch menu

Rice. Pasta. Sandwiches. A clear price, every time.

How it works

Prepared centrally. Served where people work.

One shared kitchen. Three planned staffed selling bikes.

  1. At the shared kitchen

    Prepare

    Food is prepared and portioned in a shared commercial kitchen.

  2. Through replenishment

    Move

    Stock is transported through the planned mobile support and replenishment operation.

  3. At a staffed counter

    Serve

    Staffed electric cargo-bike counters are positioned near selected workplace clusters.

  4. Close to the working day

    Collect

    Customers walk up to buy. Online pre-order and collection will be introduced with the ordering platform.

The selling bike is a staffed retail counter. Food preparation happens in the kitchen. This is a planned workplace service, not home delivery; the fleet is not operating yet.

Why this format

A food counter that can go where demand is.

Simple pricing. Staffed service. A format designed to bring an affordable food option closer to the places people work.

  1. A clear £1 food price

    Designed for frequent workplace use.

  2. A person at the counter

    Staffed and visible customer service.

  3. A compact footprint

    A smaller on-site footprint than a permanent shop.

  4. Flexible placement

    Planned around where workplace demand is.

  5. A supported operation

    A shared kitchen and replenishment support.

  6. A repeatable format

    Intended for repeatable workplace clusters.

For workplaces

Bring affordable food access closer to your team.

Food on Wheels is looking for London workplaces and property partners interested in hosting a staffed selling bike during the pilot. The model is designed to add a convenient food option without constructing an on-site canteen.

Propose a workplace site

Where it could work

  • Office campuses
  • Hospitals and healthcare sites
  • Construction sites
  • Other dense on-site workforces

A planned pilot shaped around your site

  • An additional affordable food option
  • A compact physical footprint
  • Service planned around site demand
  • A visible staffed counter
  • Feedback that helps shape the pilot

We are exploring sites. Locations and permissions have not yet been confirmed.

The first pilot

Start with three bikes. Learn at street level. Build from evidence.

Preparing for launch in London

  1. Prepare

    Finalise recipes, suppliers, kitchen operations, food-safety controls and initial sites.

  2. Launch

    Begin with one staffed selling bike, then move to the planned three-bike London pilot.

  3. Validate

    Measure daily demand, repeat purchase, waste, service reliability and contribution before expanding.

Our purpose

Affordable food should be within reach during the working day.

Food on Wheels is being built around a direct idea: keep the menu simple, keep the price clear and bring staffed food access closer to places where people work.
