CASE STUDY
BoardsByMo delivers with Metrobi.
“When the COVID-19 quarantine started, Mo started preparing homecooked meals and cheeseboards for frontline healthcare workers. Soon after, people started asking if they could purchase cheeseboards for various personal events, date nights, or picnics. Now, BoardsByMo is creating dozens of cheese boards daily for customers. Deliveries are powered by Metrobi.”
Before Metrobi, I was only able to commit to a limited number of orders and had to reject the rest because I just didn't have the bandwidth to create and deliver all the boards. Now, I am able to commit to twice as many orders because I don't spend time delivering. I expect that number will grow, but more importantly, I’m not turning down any customers.

About BoardsByMo
I have a degree in hospitality management and an MBA, and I worked in the restaurant industry for 8 years. I started as a hostess, did everything along the way, and spent the last few years as a restaurant manager. I learned about food safety, inventory, preparation, bookkeeping, and so much more. My passion is authentic food, wine, and understanding how they all fit each other.
When COVID19 quarantine started, I started preparing meals for front-line healthcare workers at various hospitals across the city. They were working crazy hours, I was stuck at home, and it felt like the least I could do to help.
Soon after, people started asking if they could place orders for cheeseboards, or custom spreads for various personal events. My first request was a Mother’s Day Board, and this is how BoardsbyMo was created.
Everyone loves a good charcuterie board, but it takes time to assemble, it’s expensive to buy all the ingredients for just one board, and you are often left with days worth of leftovers. Our boards get delivered right to your door (or as a gift to someone special!) and all the assembling is done for you!
Cheese boards, delivered.
Delivery used to take lots of precious time from preparing orders.
Our orders and our customer base is growing at a rapid pace. People love their charcuterie!
Initially, I was hand delivering all the orders myself so I had to limit the number of orders I could take. Delivery took hours out of my day….and I was lucky because, at the time, there wasn’t even any traffic. Between carefully packaging the boxes, figuring out an optimal route in Google Maps, and then actually making the deliveries, it could still easily take 3-4 hours a day.
By using Metrobi, all I do is the fun part: create the boards for all my wonderful customers!
With Metrobi, I don't have to worry about deliveries.
