Our take
VC investment has been pouring into food delivery startups over recent years, as the restaurant industry’s fastest-growing market saw a doubling down on innovation. This has spelt trouble for smaller independent locales struggling to digitally transform, and the continued rise of dark kitchens (where delivery capacity, usually for chain brands, is substantially expanded at a fraction of the overhead) is only making this worse. Taster might prove a welcome compromise.
The company partners with restaurants to plug their brands into their existing kitchens. It means that restaurants can earn (potentially) an additional £5,000 - £25,000 per week.
Taster currently has 5 brands. By avoiding the need to build kitchens, the company can enter new cities much quicker and harness the local market knowledge of restaurant owners. They now have a vast range of digital restaurants across 70 cities, and have delivered millions of meals.
The company has won impressive VC funding to help it expand its already substantial European presence. Taster is a welcome and exciting development in this highly lucrative market.
