Company profile

researched Aug 2026

HUNGRY operates a platform for workplace food, built around partnerships with chefs and local restaurants that prepare meals for corporate clients. Its service lines cover office catering (including menu curation, delivery, setup and breakdown), Group Order for individual meal pre-ordering programs within an organization, catered events staffed by an in-house hospitality and chef team, and Snacks & Pantry, a stocked-kitchen service offering curated snacks and beverages.

The company also runs last-mile logistics and vendor/"Captain" networks that support delivery and on-site service. Social and environmental commitments are part of its positioning: it states it donates one meal for every two purchased, reporting more than 4.0 million meals donated to date, and offsets carbon emissions from catering deliveries, reporting 5,318 mangrove trees planted.

Business model

HUNGRY sells workplace food programs to employers, sourcing food from partner chefs and local restaurants and handling delivery, setup and on-site service through its own logistics and captain network.

Revenue is generated from corporate purchases of catering orders, individual group-order meal programs, event catering, and office snack and pantry supply.
