A food tech startup building smart satellite kitchen networks has raised £3 million ($3.94 million) in seed funding.

Growth Kitchen, based in London, raised the money from a group of strategic investors led by PactVC.

It includes the co-founders of German unicorn and on-demand grocery delivery company Gorillas – Ronny Shibley, Jorg Kattner and Felix Chrobog, with the latter also having formerly served as GM for Deliveroo.

The round also featured TwinklHive CEO, Jonathan Seaton and Robert Laurence, CEO of Resolution Property. Shibley and Seaton were additionally appointed to the board of directors.

This investment is helping Growth Kitchen continue to crack the delivery kitchen model, where restaurants can scale like a SaaS company, while remaining the exclusive owner of their business.

By leveraging technology and data science, restaurant brands are able to grow from a few kitchens to 100s of strategic and sustainable, high-volume locations across Europe.

In a world where we take Ubers and watch Netflix, we’ve accepted cooking as the norm for too long. Building on the success of food delivery apps, we are introducing a step change in how we eat, said Mate Kun, co-founder of Growth Kitchen.

He said: We transform high-order-volume restaurants into delivery powerhouses by making it very easy for them to scale through our satellite kitchen network.

Growth Kitchen has already partnered with restaurant brands in London, including Tortilla, Tai Kitchen and The Athenian, across two hubs that support 20+ restaurants.

The company is on track to open 40 new hubs within the next two years across the UK and key European markets, making it the default growth partner for high-delivery-volume restaurants across Europe.
