Chive for produce-box delivery partners

Turn every delivery into dinner.

Chive is a kitchen and pantry app that helps people figure out what they can cook with what they have.

With our food box integration, customers can add each box to their pantry with one scan, unlocking recipe ideas, meal planning, and more.

✓Get nudged toward food that should be used sooner
✓Build a grocery list for the small things needed to complete a meal.
✓Keep the household kitchen and shopping list in one place

A lasting customer benefit

The essentials stay free for your customers.

This is not a limited trial that leaves people with another bill. The core produce-box experience stays free during a pilot and after it.

✓

Pantry & expiry reminders

Customers can keep track of delivery ingredients and get a timely nudge to use them.

✓

Delivery recipes & ideas

Your recipes remain available, and Chive can help customers find ideas from what is already in the kitchen.

✓

Shared grocery list

Households can finish their dinner plan and shop together without duplicating what they already have.

Works with your offering

Useful whether you send recipes or simply send great produce.

If your boxes include recipes

Make the recipes you already create easier to use.

Your recipes can be organized around the ingredients that actually arrived, alongside the rest of a customer’s kitchen.

  • See what they already have before they start
  • Add missing items to a grocery list
  • Keep your recipes in a growing collection with your brand
  • Find new recipes that use your ingredients.
If your boxes do not include recipes

You do not need to become a recipe publisher.

Chive can help customers turn the actual contents of a delivery and their existing pantry into practical meal ideas.

  • Start from what arrived, not a blank search box
  • Prioritize ingredients that should be used soon
  • Make unfamiliar produce feel easier to cook
  • Find new recipes that use your ingredients.
Why it works for you

The customers who use the whole box are the ones who stay.

You already send food people are glad to get. Chive helps them get all the way to dinner with it, which is the difference between a good delivery and a weekly habit. You get a branded touchpoint every week instead of one at signup, your recipes in the kitchen where they are actually useful, and customers who reach the end of the week with an empty crisper.

Low lift for your team

A customer benefit, without another system to run.

What we ask from you

  • Include a QR insert in participating boxes, or a link in the email you already send
  • Forward the week’s contents and recipes exactly as you already write them, a packing list, a spreadsheet, or your newsletter text
  • Tell us how your delivery week runs, once, at the start

What you do not take on

  • Handing over a customer list
  • Launching a new storefront or membership program
  • Managing Chive customer support during the pilot
  • Any new weekly work beyond forwarding what you already write
A lightweight partner pilot

Start with the way your delivery already works.

A four-week pilot, one box run a week, shaped around your delivery, your customer touchpoints, and the information you already send. It is a short first run, not a new system for your team to manage.

1

Show us your current customer flow.

We learn what goes into a delivery, how you share contents, and whether you include recipes.

2

Shape the first delivery experience.

With your input, we will set up a clear QR insert, a simple customer explanation, and a practical way for that week’s box to enter Chive.

3

Make it easy for customers to try.

Customers opt in and scan the QR code to add their delivery to Chive. We take care of the app experience from there.

Questions, answered

A straightforward partner program.

What happens after the pilot?

If Chive is useful for your customers, the core delivery workflow remains free. There is no partner fee, during the pilot or after, and customers keep their pantry, delivery recipes and ideas, expiry reminders, and shared grocery list.

What’s the catch?

There is no hidden catch. Chive is new, and we believe a useful customer experience is the best way for people to discover it. We ask for honest feedback while we learn, never a customer list, contract, or obligation to continue.

Does the pilot have to look one specific way?

No. We will start with a short conversation and shape a small, contained first run around your delivery, customer communications, and what will be easiest for your team.

Do customers hit a paywall?

The core delivery experience stays free, including pantry, delivery recipes and ideas, expiry reminders, and grocery list. Chive+ is optional and only adds advanced personal features, such as unlimited social-media recipe imports and unlimited Chive-generated recipes.

Want to try Chive before a pilot?

We would love to share the app with you in advance so you can test it yourself and decide whether it feels like a good fit for your customers.

Ask for access

Let’s start with a short conversation.

We want to know what works for you. If there’s a good fit, we will shape a contained pilot around what you already do, then support the setup alongside you.
