Our multi-brand food halls let customers mix and match dishes from top restaurants in a single order, whether dining in or ordering for delivery. Since launching in 2021, we’ve grown from one kitchen to one of Finland’s largest restaurant platforms — backed by world-class investors including General Catalyst and Lifeline Ventures (early backers of Wolt, Oura, and Supercell). Our team combines restaurant veterans from Michelin-starred kitchens with growth builders from Varjo, VOI, Smartly.io, and Zalando. Together, we’re scaling faster than anyone else in our category — and we’re just getting started. Our vision: to become Europe’s largest restaurant scale-up.
