CookUnity is a chef-to-consumer meal marketplace founded in 2018 by Mateo Marietti and Clara Fernandez Quiroga. The company began with six chefs in a small Brooklyn kitchen and has since expanded to operate eight kitchens across the United States and Canada, delivering ready-to-heat meals directly to consumers' homes. It now delivers 50 million meals annually.
The platform connects a roster of over 150 chefs - including award-winning culinary professionals, Michelin-starred restaurateurs, and Food Network alumni - with consumers seeking restaurant-quality meals at home. CookUnity handles fulfillment through its multi-kitchen infrastructure while sharing revenue with chefs on every dish sold. The model is designed to give chefs a direct commercial relationship with end consumers, outside the traditional restaurant framework.
On the technology side, CookUnity operates across several domains relevant to scaling a direct-to-consumer marketplace: demand forecasting, logistics coordination across multiple fulfillment kitchens, chef and menu management, and the consumer-facing ordering platform. The business sits at the intersection of food logistics, marketplace software, and supply chain operations.
