Join Service Design Network Chicago & Poland chapters to continue our series about service design for food systems with social and sustainable impact.


Feel inspired to think about tomorrow's food systems with two case studies by Relish Works, a Chicago-based innovation hub exploring the future of the food and foodservice industry.


You'll hear about Doright Dinner, a service designed to provide medically tailored meals to seniors, and how Relish Works investigated the future of food distribution and fulfillment systems in urban environments.
