Battery-powered lunchboxes make work life better. Here’s why it matters.

A Swiss startup built a device called HeatsBox GO.

It looks like a sleek bento box, but hidden inside is a heating system you control from your phone.

Tap the app, and your meal warms evenly in 15–25 minutes.

That small feature kills two points of friction: finding a microwave, and waiting in line to use it.

The effect is outsized.

Suddenly, an ordinary packed lunch feels premium — hot, fresh, and under your control. At work, or even in your car.

It’s a reminder that innovation doesn’t always mean a new category. Sometimes it’s subtracting a step customers hate.

The Job is still “eat lunch at work.”

But the lunchbox reframes the moment, making the customer feel self-sufficient and a little spoiled.

The company markets HeatsBox as freedom: no more cold meals, no more searching for a kitchen.

That’s what makes people talk about it.

Not the specs, but the STORY of independence.

Why it matters: your customers also have “microwave lines” in their lives.

Anoying steps they accept because they feel like they have no choice.

Eliminate the right one, and you instantly reframe their ENTIRE experience.
