Montreal-based food startup Portions specializes in jarred salad meals that are conveniently accessible via a vending machine. Founded by Ryan Hutman and his father Aaron Hutman, the company seeks to make nutritious and conveniently packaged food options more readily available for consumers like busy professionals who seek to stay balanced and healthy while on the go.
Ensuring freshness, each jarred salad meal offered by Portions has a four to five day shelf life and is packaged in sustainable glass containers. Restocked frequently, Portions' vending machines are ideal for corporate buildings and office spaces looking to provide employees with an alternative to traditional fast food or junk food options.
“Every morning you’re getting a salad that was made that morning, that’s really our value proposition,” says Ryan Hutman about his company's product and also explains that each of Portions' vending machines is also made from others that have been refurbished to avoid waste.
