From Kitchen to Commerce: The Story of Your Saving Graze

Samantha, the visionary behind Your Saving Graze, discovered her passion for charcuterie during casual gatherings with her friend. Their laid-back moments of sharing delicious food and wine inspired her to create a convenient and enjoyable food experience for others.

In early 2022, Samantha turned her passion into a business, launching Your Saving Graze. Initially, she focused on crafting beautiful charcuterie boards and grazing tables, offering a hassle-free way to elevate any occasion. As the company’s popularity grew, she expanded their offerings to include convenient grazing boxes, perfect for picnics, road trips, or simply enjoying themselves at home.

While the initial success relied on word-of-mouth and social media, she realized the need for a more efficient online presence. She wanted to streamline the ordering process and make it easier for customers to access their delicious creations. With Moneris Online, she was able to transform their online store into a user-friendly platform, complete with a seamless checkout process and secure payment options.

Creating a website as dreamy on the eyes as her relish-worthy charcuterie boards required a little support from Moneris.

One of the reasons Samantha opted for Moneris Online was to move away from manual payment methods, which limited her scalability and customer reach. With Moneris Online, she could work with a dedicated team that would help her bring her vision to life online and take Your Saving Graze to the next level.
