Wonder Group, a food-delivery company, recently received a $100 million investment from Nestle along with a strategic partnership. The partnership will start with Nestle supplying Wonder kitchen equipment and it will involve the making of pizza and pasta specific for this equipment. Furthermore, Wonder Group has developed the technology to help clients across the globe and has already introduced the business-to-business offering at 50 locations, including convention centers and airports. Marc Lore, the former Walmart e-commerce CEO and founder of Wonder Group, states that the company’s goal is to be a “super app for mealtime” and offers diet-specific, budget-friendly meal options using their white-labeled technology.
In a bid to aid them in making this venture a success, they began by acquiring licenses from popular chefs and restaurants like Bobby Flay, José Andrés, and Blue Apron. This enables them to make many diverse meals that account for different dietary preferences and taste. Their innovative kitchen machinery is designed to function with minimal equipment and labor, without hoods, gas, stove or grease traps.This meal preparation method has brought Wonder into competition with various food delivery and industry players, such as Uber Eats, SweetGreen, and Kroger. Consequently, the partnership with Nestle will surely help Wonder scale and expand its commercial kitchen offerings, making it easier for hotels, hospitals, and sports arenas to provide high-quality meals to their customers, ultimately improving their food quality and revenue generation in this post-pandemic era.
