Ready Burger (RB) states that it has created the UK's first scalable, value-driven, entirely plant-based Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) brand. RB claims that it has mastered the science behind the taste and texture of plant-based foods to make them indistinguishable from their non-veg counterparts. It further points out that its final products use up to 92% lesser greenhouse gases, and require up to 70% lesser water than competitor brands. RB argues that its meals cater for vegetarians, vegans, meat lovers, and people preferring Halal or Kosher foods. RB offers fast-food classics and has partnered with a global plant-based food manufacturer. RB asserts that its ergonomically designed kitchens enable it to produce 1000s of items a day, that are in turn, serviced from its central distribution centre. RB's integrated web-app ordering, in-store ordering kiosks and an innovative delivery solution allow customers to have their food in under 30 minutes. RB says it will use the investment to grow its business across different verticals.
