About us
Welcome to The Beetbox!
We’re Randon Moore and Gwyneth Yvonne, two young entrepreneurs with a shared passion for redefining vegan food. Our journey began in a college apartment, where Randon, dealing with Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome (MALS), was introduced to the benefits of a vegan diet by Gwyneth, who had been vegan for over four years.
Gwyneth’s culinary journey began at the age of 14, working in various restaurants and honing her skills as a chef. At the time, she was also studying nutrition with the goal of becoming a dietitian. Randon, on the other hand, was pursuing a degree in business. Combining Gwyneth’s expertise in the kitchen with Randon’s business acumen, we set out to create something special.
Our culinary adventure began with the creation of our famous Chick'less Patty. The one thing Randon couldn’t give up was fried chicken, so Gwyneth set out to recreate a dish that would remind him exactly of the soul food he grew up eating, while adhering to a plant-based diet. We started selling our dishes from our apartment to classmates, keeping the vegan aspect a secret. The response was phenomenal—students loved our Chick'less Patty and loaded fries with cheese sauce. Soon, lines were forming around our building. Little did our peers know…they were eating PLANTS!
However, our success attracted the attention of the university, which required us to have proper licensing to continue operating. Undeterred, we decided to hit the road and launched our food truck. Thus, The Beetbox was born!
If you’ve followed along our journey since the very beginning, then you might know it was no easy feat transitioning from a food truck to brick & mortar. Before moving into our official space as of May 22nd, 2024, Randon & Gwyn have been “ghost kitchening” all over OKC to find the perfect fit. We’ve hustled our way up from food truck beginnings in Stillwater, through ghost kitchens in multiple locations, to finally landing a space we can call our own. The journey has been riddled with challenges. For the 2 years we were ghost kitchening, we were faced with many trials that ultimately taught us invaluable lessons. Today, we are in a space that loves us back, and we couldn't be more grateful.
At The Beetbox, we’re committed to transforming the perception of vegan food by showcasing its rich, flavorful potential. Our goal is to provide delicious, plant-based meals that not only taste amazing but also support a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle.
Thank you for being part of our journey. We look forward to serving you!
