Eating for optimal health
is complicated and
time-consuming

The lifestyle of most busy urban professionals involves processed foods and restaurant takeout, sitting at a desk much of the day, with a never-ending to-do list that causes stress and anxiety.  Obesity, overweight, depression, heart disease, and a whole host of other medical and health concerns are on the rise, and the price we pay in terms of our quality of life and our sense of well-being is high. We all know we could be healthier, but the latest fad diet or trending quick fix isn’t the answer. It’s a lifestyle change. And when it comes to changing what you eat every day of the week, it’s been a difficult hurdle to jump, until now.

Devoted following of celebrities, wellness influencers, and busy clients

Provenance has cultivated a devoted following with some of the biggest names in Hollywood and the health and wellness industry. We are helping our clients prepare for the red carpet, weddings, pregnancy and birth, and prevent and manage disease and illness.

Profitable since 2014

Provenance sells directly to clients via our website. Our prepared meals are available as a one-time order, starting at $68/day for a full day of meals, or as a recurring subscription. Orders are placed online utilizing our custom software, 3 days in advance of delivery. Subscribers pay an annual recurring fee of $99 to become a member and receive orders automatically each week. 

The average order size is $244 and 76% of revenue in the last 12 months has come from return customers. We've been in business for 7 years and have fine-tuned operational efficiency with an emphasis on the ability to scale. As we reach our target market in additional cities, our gross margins (currently 50%) increase as we achieve economies of scale.

At the intersection of the wellness industry and the prepared meals market

• The U.S. prepared meal market is an estimated $65.6 billion in 2019, estimated to reach $72.6 billion in 2023.

• The global health and wellness food market is expected to increase by at least 6% annually in the next 2 years.

• 80% of Americans are willing to pay a premium for food that offers health benefits. 

Our target market includes busy urban professionals ages 25-45, mostly female, with a household income of over $200K per year. This market segment understands the connection between what they eat and their physical and emotional health, but does not have the time to cook. 

We are NOT a meal kit

Current competitors are small prepared meal delivery services and a few larger national companies that have received investments from 2016 to 2018 and are still attempting to grab market share. This is still the birth of this major industry. We believe Provenance will become the standard for high quality, nutrient-dense prepared meals. 

Our competitors do not have the retention and loyalty that Provenance customers have shown. They cater to niche diets that don’t appeal to a wider population nor inspire a long term way of eating.  We have a 5-6 year lead on our potential competitors and have established the operations, partnerships, and recipes that will fuel our growth and maintain customer loyalty. 

Food has the power to transform lives for the better 

We have established ourselves as a premium and trustworthy brand in NYC. In 2020, we are focusing all funding on optimizing and scaling our operations. 

• Establishing operations in Los Angeles, CA - our strongest wellness market. 

• Shipping our prepared meals via insulated boxes to extend our geographical reach to more clients.

• Upgrading our custom eCommerce software to manage all order and fulfillment processes, track client health metrics, automate client services, and support a branded online wellness community.

• Increasing brand awareness through continued partnerships with doctors and nutritionists, like-minded wellness brands, celebrities, influencers, and more.
