Our Story
Dailycious was founded in Los Angeles in 2020 by Deborah and Samuel Wrobel, French culinary professionals who brought their heritage and passion for the flavors of Burgundy to California. As experienced restaurateurs behind the esteemed "Shiloh's" in West LA, they noticed a gap in the food landscape: while Angelenos had become more discerning about their dining options, workplace food remained uninspiring, unhealthy, and overpriced. Traditional solutions like catering or delivery were also inefficient, both financially and in terms of environmental impact.
Determined to bridge this gap, the Wrobels pioneered a new model that prioritized quality and taste above all else, a radical departure from standard "company food." Early trials of Dailycious were met with enthusiastic feedback, with employees eagerly embracing the meals and treating Sam like a hero when he delivered samples to offices. This immediate success fueled their vision to bring high-quality meals to workplaces throughout Los Angeles.
To realize this vision, Dailycious established an 8,000 sq ft kitchen in Burbank, incorporating advanced cooking, manufacturing, and packaging technologies, such as modified atmosphere packaging and IoT-enabled smart fridges. These innovations enabled Dailycious to create an efficient, convenient, and sustainable approach, setting new standards for taste, quality, and freshness, making premium workplace dining accessible to all.
Dailycious Today
Dailycious has come a long way since our early days of delivering samples across LA. Today, we are proud to lead the way, serving a wide range of businesses throughout the Greater Los Angeles area. We now produce well over 10,000 premium meals each month with the same care and attention as on day one, catering to law firms, hospitals, factories, technology companies, and medical offices, always focusing on the human connection and the meaningful act of sharing a meal.
Behind the business details, our approach is simple: create outstanding meals, make them easily accessible, and let the food speak for itself. Our track record of converting curious tasters into loyal customers proves that this strategy works. We make a difference by combining quality, innovation, and sustainability, and we will continue to expand and innovate to broaden our offerings.
Our Mission
Dailycious is on a mission to empower companies of all sizes to provide their employees with the ultimate job benefit: unlimited and affordable access to fresh, healthy, and great-tasting meals. By revolutionizing workplace food, we aim to create a work environment where employees feel valued, satisfied, and supported in both their professional and personal lives.
Our Values
Quality: We prioritize the highest standards in every meal we serve, ensuring that freshness and taste are never compromised. This same level of care and attention to detail extends to every interaction with our customers and their employees.
Community: We empower companies to foster a sense of community and show appreciation for their employees through the simple act of providing high-quality, nutritious meals. Both within Dailycious and in our partnerships, we strive to work harmoniously toward a common goal, valuing each person's contribution and supporting the well-being of all.
Sustainability: Sustainability is central to Dailycious, and is key to our cost efficiency and competitiveness. Unlike traditional food delivery, which is inefficient and carbon-intensive, our approach produces high-quality meals locally and transports them to their place of consumption with unmatched CO2 efficiency*.
* By producing all our meals locally from scratch using fresh ingredients, we eliminate the need for heavily processed components that travel across the globe before reaching your plate. Our advanced smart fridges and efficient delivery systems then push CO2 efficiency to a new level, significantly reducing the carbon footprint typically associated with food delivery and catering services while improving both taste and freshness.
