Our take
Crafty aims to put that awkward chat as you make coffee in the office kitchen a thing of the past, with its platform to spice up and manage your office food and drink supplies.
At its core, the idea is simple. Crafty delivers all your food and drink to all your offices, and puts your budgets and data for everything in one place. A simple, but surprisingly unique idea. Where it excels, however, is in its range of kitchen-related services on the platform. The platform adapts to remote and hybrid working models, with food boxes for at-home employees or ‘Crafty Credit’ for the WFH-ers to order supplies for themselves. Need to cater a lunch? Crafty links you up with local suppliers. It even offers to set up and run a mini coffee shop station inside your office.
Crafty has cornered a gap in the market, particularly with its provisions for the burgeoning number of businesses adopting remote or hybrid working. It’s made clients of companies like PayPal, Yelp, and Duolingo, and its 2024 fundraising is focused on accelerating platform development and market penetration.
