A message that goes on every to-go dish

This is the story of how made with love came to be on every takeout order.

In the beginning, I handled all the tasks myself, from taking orders, making dressings, prepping ingredients, to cooking all the dishes. Spontaneously, I started writing “Made with Love” on every to-go order, but then, for one order, I felt rushed. I had like 6 customers - which was a lot when I started - and in that rush I grabbed the takeout order, which was a wrap and handed to the customer without the message. The crestfallen look on her face when I handed her the wrap stopped me in my tracks. She looked at me sweetly and said, “So, this one isn't made with love?” I immediately asked for the wrap back and wrote the message on it. In that moment, I knew, “Made with Love” would go on every dish. I saw firsthand how the little things you do can have a big impact. Especially when it’s a message that comes straight from the heart. Over the years, we received so much love and appreciation for that little message. We always write it by hand, and we always mean it.
