Upicnic is an online food-ordering service founded in 2015 and located in New York City. It offers “picnic experiences,” in which customers can buy food and drinks, picnic essentials such as sunscreen and Bluetooth speakers, and can rent games and sports gear. They offer service across the five boroughs.

Overview
It was started on February 1, 2015, by Alp Behar, who has a background in international business, and Marta Antonelli, who has a background in public relations and is the company’s in-house chef. Customers can log into the Upicnic website and fill a virtual basket with food that is organic and made with locally procured ingredients. They then choose any extras such as lawn games, gear or live violin and cello performances. Lastly, they select a place, the number of people in attendance and time for the event, requiring at least 2 days’ notice to prepare everything.

In 2017, the Upicnic partnered with the Viceroy Central Park New York to offer room and basket packages. Through this partnership, hotel guests can purchase a room and picnic packages for their stay.
