Our take

The restaurant industry has seen vast technological innovations throughout the last decade, yet the state of supply chain ordering and administration does not reflect this. Restaurants are still using archaic paperwork to order from suppliers, and this has the tendency to become clunky, inaccurate, and result in food waste. Choco exists to improve this situation by connecting restaurants and suppliers through its food ecosystem management software.

Choco isn't the only company to notice the potential for disruption in this space, but it has taken a unique approach by providing bespoke inventory applications and analytical tools to both restaurants and suppliers. Because of this, it has a large and rapidly growing userbase and its supply chain now links more than 31,000 businesses globally, with more than £1.2 billion in goods traded on its platform.

It's also raised large amounts of capital in several funding rounds and achieved unicorn status with a valuation exceeding $1 billion. It now has eyes on expansion, currently working with clients across the U.S. and Europe but also planning to begin operations in South America, the Middle East, and Asia in the near future.
