About Cook Unity

Food has lost its soul to modern convenience. And with it, it has lost the power to nourish, inspire, and connect us. So in 2018, Cook Unity was founded as the first-of-its-kind platform that connects the world with the source of truly great food: chefs. Today, Cook Unity delivers 50 million meals a year from the industry’s best chefs to homes all over the country.

Fresh. Ready-to-eat. And crafted with the passion that nourishes body and soul.

Unwilling to stop there, Cook Unity is expanding beyond delivery to become an ever-innovating marketplace focused on our singular mission:
empower Chefs to nourish the world.

We’ve recently seen an increase in recruitment scams across the industry, and we want to make sure you (and your data) stay safe while applying to Cook Unity. We also want you to know that we take this seriously — sometimes, as part of our process, we may ask for a brief “proof of humanity” to confirm that we’re connecting with a real person, not an impersonator.

Here are a few tips to help you protect yourself and know what to expect from us:

• Apply only through our official channels. All open roles are listed on our official careers page:
• Our recruiters are real people — and easy to verify. You can always find them on Linked In with verified profiles. If you’re unsure, feel free to reach out to us on our official Linked In Company Page.
• We only communicate through official Cook Unity channels. That means emails ending in  and interviews held through official company platforms (Google Meet or Zoom) — never Whats App, Telegram, or SMS.
• We’ll never ask for payment or personal financial details. If anyone does, please don’t share any information and let us know right away.

If something ever feels off or you’re unsure about a message, we’d much rather you double-check with us. You can always contact us directly through any of our social media channels. We appreciate your interest in joining Cook Unity — and we care about keeping your experience (and safety) as genuine as possible.
