The clever idea for travelling, vacation and in everyday life
Do you follow a vegetarian or vegan diet? Do you eat out a lot or travel abroad? Then you certainly have come across the challenge of ordering vegetarian or vegan food in a restaurant or buying groceries without animal ingredients. Beside the language barrier there are often many obstacles until you have a satisfying mouth watering menu infront of you:
Does the waiter understand your special request?
Does the language barrier prevent the correct translation into the mother tongue of the cook?
How many of the special request will reach the kitchen in the hustle and bustle of a busy restaurant?
Even though vegetarian and vegan diets are on the rise, still a lot of people are unaware what exactly does this new trend word mean. What ingredients are not allowed in a plant-based diet? That’s why we developed the Veg-Cards to close this knowledge gap.
We solve the following issues:
- Based on specific terms/ definitions and symbols the communication is simplified
- Particularities in other languages are accounted for and minimise the misinterpretations with the undesirable ingredients
During several trips worldwide, we as a young family following a plant based diet for many years, repeatedly made the experience that Veg-Cards would have made our life a lot easier. In the beginning we tried different prototypes, which lacked in durability (for example people touching the paper with their wet fingers), proper translations, not short and sweet enough plus no symbols. Therefore Veg-Cards was developed to combine all our experience with material, presentation and content.
It certainly isn’t exclusively about travelling abroad, even in your home country, Veg-Cards are a practical easy solution. Just open your purse show the card and there will be no further inquiries disturbing your conversations at the dinner table. You don’t have to rattle off your „No-go ingredient list“. Not to mention to spare the overstrained waiter playing the game whisper down the lane with the kitchen personel. you can calmly hand him the card to bring it to the kitchen at ease and it will be returned neat or at least wipeable.
Sometimes even family members pretend to not understand the exact definition of a plant-based diet. A Veg-Card clipped to the fridge door will do the trick.
Because even in your home country Veg-Cards are the best and easiest solution for a hassle free meal out.
For the market launch, the Veg-Cards will be available in the following languages, presenting some of europeans favourite travel destinations…
Why should you buy Veg-Cards and what alternatives are out there?Print-out or smartphone-app?
- Our high-quality and durable cards come in the convenient credit card size and will fit in any standard purse. Ready for action at any time.
- All translations are done by native speakers and verified on their accuracy and linguistic particularities.
Our unique selling points:
- The Veg-Cards are specifically designed to be given into the kitchen or over a counter so your meal will be prepared specifically to your plant-based satisfaction without a bad surprise at the end, where you either have to pay for the unwanted meal or have to negotiate with the staff.
- Would you hand your beloved unlocked smartphone with the opened app in a kitchen maybe even abroad?
- You will have the same problem with an own print-out as it will certainly be soaked in undefinable substances after several trips to a foreign kitchen.
We have narrowed down the information to the basics. Veg-Cards doesn’t try to convince the counterpart from the vegetarian or vegan diet or even condemn them (like some other booklets do) Veg-Cards just makes sure you get the food you want.
