Solari for employers
A practical employee benefit for the mental load behind dinner. Help your team decide, plan, shop, and cook for their household.
For iPhone. Exploring employer pilots for after public launch.
Support beyond the workday
What to eat. What’s already in the fridge. What to buy. What everyone will actually eat. Solari helps with a recurring responsibility that sits outside the job, but still takes time and attention.
The business case
Research connects everyday demands, time pressure, and wellbeing. That gives employers a reason to explore practical support beyond the workplace.
Household mental load

For your benefits program
Help with a responsibility employees face repeatedly. Welcome people cooking for one, two, or a family.
Explore Solari as an optional employer-funded benefit or within an eligible lifestyle allowance. Agree on the funding route before launch.
Agree on participation measures and employee feedback before a pilot. Keep household details private.
Ask for something quick. Use what’s in the fridge. Get a recipe built around the household’s preferences.
Draft the week. Move dinners around. Bring the groceries into one list, with delivery or pickup from supported stores.
Set the servings. Count the kids’ plates. Follow the steps, with timers when they’re needed.
An employer pilot
Agree on a group, a timeframe, and what you want to learn. We’ll work through eligibility, funded access, communications, and support before the pilot starts.
Special pricing for businesses. Contact us to work out the right fit for your team.
The proposed benefit is access to Solari. Groceries, delivery fees, and prepared meals are separate. Supported stores and delivery or pickup options vary by location.
Yes, we’re interested in hearing from small teams too. Tell us your team size and what you’d like to try.
We’re collecting interest for pilots after the public iPhone launch. We work with businesses on special pricing. Contact Jeremy to discuss your team.
That could be one route. It would depend on your company’s policy and benefits provider. Tell Jeremy how your program works so we can explore it together.
For a pilot, we would agree on reporting in advance. Our proposed approach is group-level participation, with small-group reporting limited to protect privacy. Household conversations, recipes, and preferences would stay private.
Why this matters to me
I’ve spent 20 years in tech, in demanding jobs. I’ve always valued tools that took some of the load off outside work.
Dinner is one of those things that keeps coming back. I built Solari for myself. We use it every week. I think it could be a useful thing for a company to give its people.
