Off The Menu: Restaurant service pivots from businesses to homes
Today 6:02 AM
Restaurant delivery has become an integral part of the contemporary dining experience, and Alchemista, Boston-based food service innovator, is melding delivery with technology to facilitate the at-home enjoyment of restaurant food.
Founded in 2012 to provide chef-quality meals in upscale office settings, Alchemista suddenly found itself mostly without customers when lockdowns rolled out last March.
Alchemista has since pivoted to a program of high-tech food lockers it had previously developed for smaller clients, at the same time creating delivery partnerships with two Boston-area restaurateurs.
The company has been installing what it refers to “on-demand modular marketplaces” in the lobbies of luxury apartment buildings. Ten of these installations, which the company has branded as “The Locket,” were in place across greater Boston as of March, with more rolling out weekly.
