<\/p>\n

Scrumpt, the healthy lunch for kids startup\u00a0that debuted at TechCrunch Disrupt San Francisco in 2015<\/a>, recently launched lunch meal kits with fresh\u00a0food. Before, Scrumpt was only focused on non-perishable foods and required parents to supplement the lunches with items from home.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u00a0were not delivering wholly on convenience or nutrition,\u201d Scrumpt co-founder Bri James told me. \u201cThere was still the barrier of having to go to the grocery store.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, parents can use Scrumpt<\/a> as a one-stop shop for their kids\u2019 lunches one week at a time. Scrumpt\u2019s spring menu offers 14 options, including a pretzel slider with turkey, roasted chicken wraps and a fruit, yogurt and granola parfait.\u00a0Including delivery, one week\u2019s worth of lunches comes out to $36.\u00a0With a subscription, Scrumpt delivers to you every weekend.<\/p>\n

Scrumpt handles all of the delivery in-house, which is a reasonable strategy for now. James said it\u2019s \u201ctotally doable\u201d to handle anywhere from 500 to 1,000 deliveries per week, but I would imagine that, at greater scale, Scrumpt may need to partner with a delivery business or employ more than the six people it does currently.<\/p>\n

Scrumpt, which is currently bootstrapped, is only operating in the SF Bay Area, with plans to expand to Southern California, and ultimately nationwide. James recognizes that \u201cgetting fresh food across the country is logistically complex,\u201d but is looking to expand nationally \u201csooner rather than later.\u201d As Scrumpt gets closer to that point, James said, the company will seek funding.<\/p>\n
