WECO HOSPITALITY
Since its opening in March, WECO has served over 5,000 meals, delivered to 30+ towns and is now averaging 300 meals a day. In addition to bringing delicious dinners to hundreds of paying guests per day, WECO is actively donating meals to hospitals, out-of-work individuals, homeless shelters, and people who deserve a free meal. As a platform for change within the hospitality industry and beyond, WECO is blazing a trail towards a healthier restaurant model, while still cultivating their roots of spreading love through good food.
WECO Hospitality started in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, when Gavin Lambert & Rachel Amiralian lost their jobs in the restaurant industry. Continuing the desire to cook honest and delicious food, the duo opened up WECO Hospitality- a dinner delivery (and pickup) service out of West Concord.
Why WECO?
.
WE ARE BRINGING Back the Dinner Table
Why? As a society, Americans are spending less and less time gathering at the dinner table at the end of their day. With work schedules, home schooling, and simply life in general, there’s little time to plan, shop, prep, cook, and clean. WECO’s mission is to help reverse that trend, and get families to come together around healthy, delicious, fresh offerings, from the farm to our chefs to your table.
To create a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle for our chefs
Chefs often work brutally long hours, nights, weekends, and holidays hidden away in kitchens. They rarely get recognized for the beautiful food they create. WECO provides a healthy, positive work environment, fair hours and pay, and recognition for the team who works so hard to create great food.
To support our local farmers
WECO is locally sourced. We are not about industrial food that is shipped long distances to sit in a warehouse, prepared in a factory, frozen, then sent to you (in massive amounts of packaging).
To educate consumers about the food they eat
The food industry lacks transparency about the sources, cost, environmental impact, sustainability and ethics of the ingredients that go into your dinner. WECO embodies the concept of mindful eating through our ethical sourcing, responsible cooking practices, and transparent pricing.
To Solve Food Waste
30–40% of food produced in the US is wasted each year. WECO operates in a zero food waste environment because we can order precisely the amount we need to serve our customers each day.
Rachel Amiralian and Gavin Lambert started WECO Hospitality in March 2020, cooking and delivering fresh, homecooked meals around Boston, Metrowest, and surrounding suburbs.
Each dinner is prepared day-of to ensure the freshest dinner possible for you and your family. We pride ourselves on our ability to source as local, ethical and sustainable as possible. On average, WECO meals come with 5 components per dinner that are packaged separately but to be served family style. Each dinner comes with easy reheating instructions in the bag. Reheating instructions are also posted on the website.
