What we do

Red Rabbit is a fast growing, mission-driven business that cooks and delivers healthy breakfasts, lunches and snacks to tens of thousands of kids at over 150 schools throughout NYC every day.
 

How we do it

We are a young, energetic company changing the way children eat in school. Each day, we carefully craft dishes from scratch in our kitchen in Harlem and hand deliver them to kids who truly need it. And if we do say so ourselves, our food is pretty much the best food money can buy- in fact virtually every one of us eats Red Rabbit lunch every day!

While our people come from all parts of the world, with different backgrounds and experiences, the thing that brings all of us together is our passion for doing work that matters. It’s hard to articulate what it feels like to integrate passion with your career, but you’ll feel it when you walk in the door. We love what we do; we have high standards; and we seek out the most innovative and brightest people in their category to join our team.
