With heart and mind since 2013

We brought the first food truck to Austria in 2013 without any gastronomic experience and thus learned the nuts and bolts of the food business the hard way. Within 7 years we were able to expand the concept to a catering arm with 400+ events per year, a restaurant and since 2017 also the co-working kitchen Herd Open Kitchen. The goal has always been to provide better food for everyone.

“there is no conflict between a better meal and a better world” – René Redzepi trifft mit dieser Aussage nicht nur unsere, sondern die Mentalität vieler neuen Food Unternehmer/innen und so war es für uns von Anfang an klar, dass wir mit Mitbewerber/innen zusammenarbeiten und nicht konkurrieren, um im Kollektiv bessere Essenslösungen für alle bieten zu können.
