Welcome to WECO! We cook fresh, chef-crafted dinners and hand-deliver them daily.

We are reimagining the dining-at-home experience. Our unique model combines the excitement and FOMO of a supper club, the convenience of prepared meal delivery and the good vibes of an honor system-based payment model. We also lead with responsible sourcing and purpose-driven business practices. We are a good neighbor to our customers, employees, purveyors, and the Earth (and also our actual neighbors) and are excited to build a valuable company that makes a massive impact for good on those around us.

Our transparent, stakeholder-driven approach to sustainability, our unique business model, and our trust -based, flexible payment system, combined with our delicious dinners, have engendered a tribal level of customer engagement and love and an unprecedented level of growth throughout New England.

We’re backed by top tier VCs and are poised for massive continued growth.
