Pomelo Online was launched at the height of the COVID-19 crisis by the team behind the popular, Bowery Lane in Sydney’s CBD and corporate catering and event companies Pomelo+Co and Catering Project. Shedding over 130 staff and with no market for their usual corporate clientele, a swift and effective business pivot was erected to remain relevant and stand a chance in the rapidly changing hospitality landscape.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image media=”68331″ media_width_percent=”100″ alignment=”center” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In seven days, the team forecast the overall impact of COVID-19 and took action to transition the business from a corporate caterer into a family focused restaurant-quality meal delivery service, delivering to Greater Sydney, Wollongong, Newcastle and the Central Coast. Within one week, Pomelo Online had its own viable ecommerce site, in bound marketing and communication, a solid logistics plan and wholesome, delicious food ready to be delivered to customers doors throughout wider Sydney.
Derbas acknowledges that while they are still in the early stages of their business reinvention, their nimble and dedicated staff are to be commended for what they have achieved in just four weeks of trading under the Pomelo Online brand.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image media=”68328″ media_width_percent=”100″ alignment=”center” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The ethos behind Pomelo Online is simple – to deliver wholesome restaurant quality meals to families at a great value.
