Climate idea

Nudge your customers to healthier and more sustainable habits with vegetarian or vegan defaults for preordered meals

When booking SJ train tickets with preordered meals (specifically breakfasts), they currently require the rapidly growing number of people who prefer vegetarian or vegan food to manually contact SJ customer support to specify their preferred diet. This is the exact opposite of nudging people to healthier and more sustainable habits, since you always should make it easy to make good choices. I also imagine this requires a lot of manual work from SJ's customer support, that could be simplified with some technical development. Therefore, I have two climate ideas I think SJ should implement: 1) Change the default option for all meals to vegetarian, or even vegan. This will nudge people to better habits, shifting the effort to manually select non-vego options to the people who still resist positive changes. And of course, more green meals would mean SJ could decrease the climate impact of train trips even further. 2) Add a feature to the SJ booking app + website to allow customers to select their preferred diets directly when purchasing tickets that include preordered meals. Currently, vegetarian or vegan breakfast packages are only available through manually contacting customer support, which is a poor customer experience. Once the dietary selection is implemented for all preordered meals, the default option should also be vegetarian or vegan. This would make it easier for customers, while also reducing the manual customer support tickets. Seems to align very well with SJ’s ambition to be a digital leader! SJ - we're looking forward to your reply! Image from SJ's official menu. The fact that they don't even show pictures of the vegetarian + vegan breakfast alternatives makes it extremely clear this is an area that could use several improvements! https://www.sj.se/sv/reseinfo/mat-pa-taget/bistron

Dear Samuel, Thank you for your suggestion! We will already during the coming year make a lacto ovo vegetarian breakfast standard on our trains. Meat cold cuts will in other words be removed entirely. We are also working with digitalizing the order process for vegan friendly breakfasts, for example, something that we are hoping to have up and running in 2021.

    Good idea........let's go the whole way now. Remove all single use or bio plastics from the box, ensure that any paper material is from a quick growing sustainable source like bamboo or sugar cane and offset carbon used in the box and it's contents manufacture and shipping.

            Valid for all restaurants. It’s easy to get higher sales on the healthier alternatives. Put them first on the menu.
