We switched from sandwich platters to Dawn Drop boxes three months ago and the Monday all-hands attendance went up fifteen percent. Coincidence? We think not.— Sam Heke, Office Manager, Tātaki Auckland Unlimited
The keto boxes are genuinely good food, not just 'good for catering.' I stopped getting the 10am sugar crash and the dietary labels mean I don't have to quiz anyone.— Priya Nair, EA, Chapman Tripp Auckland
Forty people, six dietary requirements, and everything arrived labelled and on time at 7am. Dawn Drop made our conference breakfast the easiest part of the day.— Jordan Lam, Events Coordinator, AUT Business School
