Our story

Just graduated to be a teacher, worked all of 2 months before being laid off during the pandemic. Amy was a social worker, and In-person programming dried up overnight, so we were alone, like the rest of the world, at home, cooped up in an apartment.

We decided to cook for friends and family and ourselves, driving all over the city, delivering meals to the people we loved.

All of a sudden, that turned into a business, and all of a sudden, that business sprouted a baby! As often happened during the pandemic, some chose dogs, some chose human babies, and all of a sudden, we were selling cooking for friends'-friends. Then friends'-friends'-friends, and then we realised we better get a kitchen soon!

The rest, as they say, was (not even close to) history!

We want to eat well, even when life gets busy.

We love good food. With two young kids and a business to run, finding time to cook it isn't always easy.

We keep shaping BetterDay around what we need in our own week: meals we look forward to eating, with enough flexibility for the days that don't go to plan. We eat them ourselves, and we want them to make your busy days easier, too.

Our lives got fuller. Our meals had to keep up.

We didn't stop caring about food when our lives got busier. We just needed it to fit.

We wanted healthy, balanced meals for ourselves and our family, with flavour we'd get excited to come home to.

Calgary born,
Alberta fed

We were born and raised in Calgary, and now we have the privilege of raising our kids here. Our whole families are here. Our friends are here. Our team is here. This is home.

Getting to build BetterDay here, and feed the people we share this place with, means a hell of a lot to us.

While the national brands fight to be Canada's biggest, we're proud to be Alberta's own.
