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.

Peckwater Brands (PB) is a company engaged in the growing cloud kitchen/delivery business that runs virtual restaurant brands from the kitchens of existing restaurants. It argues that restaurants need to pay high street rents and staff wages no matter how many diners visit. Nearly 5,000 restaurants have closed in the UK since 2015 due to not being able to fulfil these tasks. PB aims to change this scenario. It helps restaurant partners use their existing staff and kitchen capacity better, and help keep struggling businesses running. The company received more than 10,000 customer orders through Deliveroo and Uber Eats. It witnessed more than £250,000 in customer sales since June 2020 and is spread across London, Manchester, Leeds, and Coventry. PB has launched four brands with four more in the pipeline. It will use the investment to get more partners, launch more brands, and acquire more customers.
