UpMeals is pleased to announce record revenues in April due to an increase in demand across their SmartVending, B2B and D2C platforms, surpassing April 2021’s revenues by 61%.
Additionally, the company reported strong growth in Q4 (Oct-Dec 2021) of 81% from previous Q4 results, and 53% growth in Q1 (Jan-Dec 2022).
UpMeals is experiencing a surge in demand across their platform as office environments, universities, transit centres and other high traffic locations are returning to normal capacity. The company recently installed new SmartVending machine deployments at the University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University, and their BC Ferries installation is slated to take place this week.
The machines have received a warm welcome with university students, often selling out daily. The company’s customised B2B solutions, serving organisations like Meta (Facebook) and others have also seen increased demand as office headcount increases.
“We’re thrilled to see steady, continued growth across our platform”, said UpMeals CEO Drew Munro, “our technology-driven solutions add incredible value and make healthy, safe food accessible 24/7, wherever it’s needed. We expect strong growth to continue throughout 2022 and beyond as we prepare to make several exciting announcements over the coming weeks about new partnerships and contracts.”
