The Engagement Alliance strives to provide the family meal experience that fits our customers' lifestyle, rhythm and goals — in the long term and in every single week. We do this by working on continuously improving the box experience of any given week - from planning, anticipation, box receipt, food prep and cooking, and adjustments for the upcoming week(s). We also work on ensuring our customers create healthy habits that will accompany them on their “long term” trajectory to whatever goal they pursue (well-being, convenience, better cooking skills).
