fudi&more, a Cork-based eatery with four outlets and a large-scale grocery distribution and food production facility has answered Ireland’s call to ensure that crucial front-line medical staff receive the nutrition and care they deserve in the escalating COVID-19 emergency. Following on An Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar’s statement that restaurant, delivery and takeout services provide a valuable service to the nation (and that Irish people get 25% of their calories from takeaway meals), Song Ye, owner of fudi&more, who has been operating successfully in the healthy take-away on and offline business for over four years, felt it was his civic duty to roll out a complimentary quick-turnaround take-away food and grocery offering to the already stressed front-line medical teams who are selflessly managing the COVID-19 crisis in our region’s hospitals. ‘My team of international chefs and nutritionists have already gleaned a stellar reputation for their innovative healthy and clean food options, sourced from the Cork local area, and prepared under strict health and safety guidelines as dictated under COVID-19. Safely prepared good food is our number one priority, and while we have enjoyed impressive repeat business to date, we are now very pleased to play our part in getting through this crisis by assisting those hard-working medical teams as they attempt to beat this awful threat that is endangering our society. We are ready to answer their call’ said Song Ye. fudi&more’s take-away food and extensive grocery stock can be viewed through their app which can be downloaded from their website www.fudiandmore.ie. A click and collect system is also available. Medical front-line staff will be entitled to a €20 voucher per week for one month (€10 for meals and €10 for groceries including delivery). Those wishing to avail of these vouchers should contact fudi&more by emailing info@fudiandmore.ie or telephoning 021 4947888 and will need a scan or photograph of their medical staff ID card or another relevant documentation. These front-line staff should then download the app, register an account and fudi&more will put the vouchers in to their account each week for one month. Grocery orders will be delivered from 8am to 4pm daily, and all orders in the city centre will be delivered as early as the same day or at least the next day. Takeaway orders will be delivered from 4pm to 11pm and once processed, are guaranteed to reach medical teams in the hospitals within 30 minutes, while the general public’s orders will reach them within 45 to 60 minutes. Deliveries of groceries and meals cover all of Cork city including Douglas, Ballincolig，Blackpool，Wilton，Mahon and more. With the closure of restaurants and the increased difficulty for people to go out and buy daily essentials, this service will be particularly useful. This of course will be especially beneficial to self-isolating families, with essential grocery and food items available for safe delivery to their doorsteps, along with the healthy food takeaway options.
