The story

The story

Eat Offbeat is a New York company that serves food from all over the world, cooked by chefs who arrived as refugees and immigrants. They needed one website that could handle meal subscriptions, office catering and a gift shop — and tell their chefs’ stories.

Before

Three different businesses — weekly meal boxes, office catering and nationwide gifts — all had to live happily in one website that still felt warm and personal.

After

Subscriptions, catering and gifts in one easy shop

What we did

What we built for them

01

Meal subscriptions

New Yorkers pick a box size and a delivery date, and dinner just shows up.

02

Online catering

Offices can browse menus and order for a crowd in a few clicks.

03

A gift shop

Gifts and pantry goodies shipped anywhere in the US, with a smooth checkout.

04

Easy menu updates

The team changes menus themselves — no developer needed.

05

Diet filters

Vegan? Vegetarian? Diners see only what suits them.

06

Easy to find on Google

Built so search engines understand and show the site.

How we did it

How we got there

Every project is different. Here’s how this one came together.

  1. Step by step

    We built it in small rounds, adapting as customers’ needs changed before, during and after COVID-19.

  2. The whole kitchen, not just the shop

    Besides the ordering site, we built order management and a kitchen tool shaped around how the team really works.

“Polar Stork didn’t only give us a beautiful platform, they made sure it was user friendly. They helped me create the website our organization needed to reach a larger audience, while making sure it fit in our startup budget. We’ll be thanking them for years to come!”
