July 15, 2020
Foodee, a Canada based office catering platform for individually packaged meals, has acquired Chewse, an office catering company servicing the San Francisco Bay Area, Austin and Chicago, according to a press release.
Foodee will transition Chewse clients on family-style plans to individually packaged meals. The company is working with clients and their HR and administrative teams to deliver meal programs that meet the requirements of workplace health and safety guidelines.
"As clients all over North America discuss their return to work plans with us, they are quickly making the switch from platters of shared food to smartly packaged meals," Foodee CEO Ryan Spong said in the press release. "Modern offices in the Bay Area adapting to a hybrid work model have been exceptionally receptive to our meal planning platform and the switch to individually packaged meals."
Foodee raised $13 million in a mix of equity led by BDC Capital paired with debt, provided by a Canadian bank, according to the press release. BDC Capital matched funds raised by the companies' existing investors, including Kensington Capital via the BC Tech Fund and Structure Capital as well as new investor, Foundry Group.
