Overview
Established in 2015 by Lucia Cisilotto, Mateo Marietti, and Matias Serebrinsky, CookUnity is a pioneering platform that connects accomplished chefs with enthusiastic consumers. With a focus on providing small-batch, restaurant-quality meals, CookUnity offers a premium at-home dining experience. The platform acts as a bridge between chefs and artisanal food crafters, allowing users to order meals online from independent culinary experts.[5][6]
This nationwide service enables customers to enjoy high-quality meals and support local chefs by bringing their creations directly to households. By eliminating the need to visit a restaurant, CookUnity offers a hassle-free and enjoyable dining experience. The company boasts a roster of over 60 talented chefs, including up-and-coming culinary artists and well-established names like Akhtar Nawab, Larry & Marc Forgione, Esther Choi, Jose Garces, and Leah Cohen. CookUnity equips chefs with cutting-edge kitchens in prominent cities such as Miami, Austin, Los Angeles, Seattle, Atlanta, Chicago, and New York City.[7]
Platform & Business Model
CookUnity's platform allows busy individuals to access a personalized weekly meal subscription service that promotes healthy eating. Customers can set their preferences and choose from a selection of fully prepared dishes featuring sustainably sourced proteins and seasonal produce. With menus posted two weeks in advance, users can tailor their meals to match their specific dietary needs. CookUnity offers four, six, eight, 12, and 16 meals per week, with a tiered pricing model that provides cost savings as the number of meals increases. This flexibility allows users to choose a plan that best suits their lifestyle.[8]
CookUnity takes pride in delivering freshness to customers' doorsteps. Unlike frozen meals, the company offers dishes in compostable, recyclable, or reusable packaging. Each package includes expiration dates, heating instructions, and nutrition information for easy and convenient consumption.[9]
The platform also offers a range of options to cater to diverse tastes and dietary requirements. Whether customers prefer plant-based, nut-free, gluten-free, keto, vegan, or meals under 600 calories, CookUnity has something for everyone. Users can search for meals based on protein type, ethnicity (such as Mexican, African, or Mediterranean), or featured chef.[10]
CookUnity's platform and model provide a seamless experience for busy individuals seeking a satisfying and healthy dining experience at home. With the ability to reschedule, skip a week, or pause subscriptions, customers have control over their meal plans. CookUnity's commitment to delivering exceptional meals, convenience, and choice sets it apart as a pioneer in the chef-to-food lover marketplace, catering to busy individuals seeking a satisfying and healthy dining experience at home.
