Some call it a quarantine, I call it a staycation (sometimes). The timing is perfect. Hulu by TRB has just introduced their new service – Hulu Delivery. While some might think, ‘Yeah, what’s the big deal? Loads of restaurants are on food delivery apps.’ This one’s different.
Hulu is offering their whole menu to be delivered to your home by their own staff and since for most of us, Hulu is a place for comfort food where we’ve grown to know and love their team, it’s extra comforting knowing that my food was cooked by their chefs, packed by their team, and delivered to me by their own team member, without ever being handled by strangers.
During the beginning of Chinese New Year, they sent out their sanitation procedures through WeChat. The restaurant has been monitoring the health of the staff closely, requiring all staff to wear masks, cleaning all of their restaurants with disinfectants each day, and carefully checking their ingredients to ensure the safety of both their own staff and guests.
Yesterday Hulu officially announced the launch of Hulu Delivery.
One of the things I love about Hulu is their attention to detail when it comes to presentation. You’re not just eating with your mouth. You’re eating with your eyes too. With many restaurants, food prepared for delivery gets packaged so tightly that, while they still taste great, they look less than pleasing. Not here. My food arrived in a black Hulu box with a white TRB Restaurant bow on top. The last time I received a box like this was when I bought a Chanel bag. Hulu has made their delivery look like couture. Inside, along with my orders were handwritten notes of encouragement from the Hulu team. It was the perfect little pick-me-up.
According to Rutger Wildenborg, for the moment, “we will do the whole process from A to Z by ourselves as we would love to control the quality. For that reason, we will (for the moment) only do deliveries with pre-order (Wechat: ilovehuluforever) and limit to 25 orders for lunch and 25 orders for dinner.” He went on to explain that, “this current time has limited the availability of our packaging supplier so we will use very basic packaging.”
