In the ready-to-eat food sector, Weekly Food is launching a new concept in the region in the coming days.
Artistic Director Joris Humair explains how it works.
Although he is new to the food industry, the computer scientist has spent several years working on economic competitiveness.
To ensure the smooth operation of Weekly Food, he will lead a small team of two people.
Imagine a head chef and a kitchen assistant who will prepare artisanal meals using fresh, local ingredients.
With no physical location of his own, the 28-year-old from Biel has set up shop in a professional kitchen in Saint-Imier. A tour of the facility—even a quick one—is sure to impress any guest.
Following the blast chiller, which is capable of rapidly lowering the temperature of food—thereby preserving flavors and naturally extending the shelf life of meals—the sealing machine will be the company’s second key piece of equipment.
You can place two trays in at a time. They are covered with a protective film in 15 seconds, then ready to go into the refrigerator.

Eight large refrigerated display cases will be used to store these items and other fresh products. Since the packaged foods are intended to last for one week, they will not require any additives.
To showcase the appearance of the dishes on the www.weekly-food.ch website, the company has also set up a small photo studio.
Weekly Food was created based on a simple observation: the ready-to-eat options available at large retail chains are convenient in many situations, but often lack quality.

However, there’s nothing stopping you from combining delicious dishes—cooked just like at home —with ready-to-heat meals.
In the midst of the COVID crisis, in May 2021, our challenge was to take advantage of the apparent lull to start a new business—with limited resources but plenty of ambition.
Through our menu, which is updated weekly, we wanted to offer variety, introduce our customers to new recipes, and—more than anything—brighten up their day while making it easier.
We started out simply, with an experienced chef, a professional kitchen, and a packaging system for our meals.
One of our priorities from the very beginning of Weekly Food was to be able to offer eco-friendly containers.
Containers that are 85% recyclable
It took some patience, but in just one year, we’ve become a pioneer in Switzerland and can now offer our meals in containers that are 85% recyclable, microwave-safe, and guarantee the freshness of our meals for 7 days.
Since our inception, we have had regular customers in every canton in Switzerland and have prepared several thousand meals, always with the same attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction.
Weekly Food now has about ten employees, including two head chefs who specialize in nutrition, several kitchen assistants, and staff members who handle packaging and customer service.
Above all, we want to preserve what sets us apart from large retail chains: professionalism in food preparation and a homemade touch, which is the very essence of what people love about our meals.
