'Healthy' and 'takeaway' aren't normally in the same sentence...

Until now!

Lets be honest, we all love a takeaway here and there.
The convenience, no washing up.
Sometimes you just don't have the time or energy to cook.

The thing is, you feel it the next day.
Most takeaways aren't designed to make you feel good, they fill you up and satisfy the craving while leaving you feeling sleepy, bloated and maybe a little regretful.

We are on a mission to change that.

Yom offers a new kind of 'takeaway' crafted with all natural, whole ingredients - down to the oils we use and the sugars we choose, the quality of our food extends way past the plate on your table.

A Yom leaves you feeling satisfied, nourished and fuelled, so you can continue with the rest of your day and let the takeaway guilt melt away 😜

Here's what one customer (amongst many) had to say;

"Nourishing, fulfilling, full of flavour and texture. I love coming away from a Yom meal feeling like I’ve added 10 years to my lifespan!"

If you would like to know what a healthy takeaway feels like

We are open until 10pm today 👇

Thursday 5pm - 9pm
Friday & Saturday 5pm - 10pm
Sunday 5pm - 10pm

1️⃣ You will do a lot of things that no one will ever see or know about — and they will absolutely make or break your business.
All the cleaning (I reckon I’ve spent 1,400+ hours cleaning 😅), admin, emails, endless trial and error, purchasing, designing, planning, number crunching… the list never ends.

2️⃣ You will make A LOT of mistakes.
Don’t worry — these teach you more than anything ever will and make you stronger and wiser.
For us that’s meant endless failed recipes, buying all our equipment… then having to buy it all again when we realised we needed gas appliances for festivals 😭
Rushing into things that cost an arm, a leg and a fistful of hair.
Spilling 5 litres of curry in a full fridge at midnight after a long event.
Need I continue?

3️⃣ There will be times when you really, really want to throw the towel in.
Bad months. Admin pile-ups. Invoices and bills stacking up. Low motivation. Missing plans with friends. Family stuff.
This is when it matters most that you don’t give up. Even when it feels like there’s no other option.
Believe in yourself. You got this far. You CAN turn it around. It WILL get better. 💚

4️⃣ You may have started because you love cooking and sharing amazing food…
…but you also become an accountant, social media manager, videographer, photographer, editor, maintenance person, handyman, admin overlord, compliance & safety officer, long-haul driver — and about 10 other jobs rolled into one.

5️⃣ Nothing prepares you for how rewarding all of this work can be.
Yes, there will be lows and hard times — but these only teach you and make you better at what you do.
When things do go well, you genuinely feel on top of the world. And although starting and running a business (especially in this climate) isn’t easy, when you find that sweet spot you can finally stand back and admire what you’ve created.
It’s a very proud feeling indeed. I don’t think there are many things in life that give you the deep satisfaction of seeing your own creation thrive and grow like running a business. 🌱

If you’re building something of your own and feeling it right now — you’re not alone.
