ChefCoco is a food technology company specializing in corporate meal services, primarily operating in Berlin, Germany. Founded in 2021 by Shaminder Dhillon (CEO) and Max Marcuse, the company provides a flexible and affordable solution for healthy meals targeted at office workers, hybrid employees, universities, and schools. The business was originally incorporated in 2019 as an urban mobility venture but pivoted to food delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic, officially launching its current model in 2022.
The service operates through an application where users can personalize their weekly menus, adjust health and taste preferences, and manage deliveries. ChefCoco distinguishes itself by managing the entire process from planning and cooking in its own large-scale industrial kitchen to daily delivery. This vertical integration allows for cost advantages in production and bulk procurement of high-quality ingredients. Meals are prepared by Michelin-trained staff and delivered fresh in branded reusable containers, which are collected with the subsequent delivery, highlighting the company's focus on sustainability by reducing packaging and food waste.
ChefCoco's business model caters to a range of clients, from small businesses to large enterprise customers requiring complex delivery logistics. The company's revenue is generated from the sale of these meals, with pricing designed to become more affordable as more individuals within an organization subscribe. A key part of its strategy involves partnerships with companies to subsidize meals for their employees, which drives high customer engagement and loyalty. Since its launch, ChefCoco has secured a total of $1.42 million in funding over two seed rounds from investors including Heliad, FoodLabs, Auxxo, and several angel investors. The company has demonstrated significant growth and high customer retention, positioning itself as a key player in Berlin's corporate meal market.
