Accounting Analyst; Inventory

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.
