Tiffinday is a social purpose business that delivers delicious, freshly made sustainable lunches in reusable stainless steel containers, called Tiffins, which are collected back the next day, leaving no litter behind for the garbage or recycling pipelines. Our meals and services are ideal for busy people who frequently eat at their desks, and for small business luncheons. We exclusively hire people who face barriers to employment, providing them with the means to earn a meaningful living by first hiring them to deliver the meals and then gradually training them in the business skills needed to become franchise owners.
