Company info

  • Food has lost its soul to modern convenience.
  • And with it, it has lost the power to nourish, inspire, and connect us.
  • So in 2018, CookUnity was founded as the first-of-its-kind platform that connects the world with the source of truly great food: chefs.
  • Today, CookUnity delivers 50 million meals a year from the industry's best chefs to homes all over the country.
  • Ready-to-eat.
  • And crafted with the passion that nourishes body and soul.
  • Unwilling to stop there, CookUnity is expanding beyond delivery to become an ever-innovating marketplace focused on our singular mission: empower Chefs to nourish the world.
  • If that mission has you hungry in more ways than one, you've found the right job posting.
  • Power the retention interventions that act on that risk - save flows, skip/pause deflection, lifecycle messaging - and classify why customers churn so the response fits the reason rather than being generic.
  • Our recruiters are real people - and easy to verify. You can always find them on LinkedIn with verified profiles. If you're unsure, feel free to reach out to us on our official LinkedIn Company Page.
  • We only communicate through official CookUnity channels. That means emails ending in @cookunity.com and interviews held through official company platforms (Google Meet or Zoom) - never WhatsApp, Telegram, or SMS.
  • We'll never ask for payment or personal financial details. If anyone does, please don't share any information and let us know right away.
  • Churn & retention modeling: Build churn/survival models and lifecycle-state models that flag at-risk customers early and anticipate where each customer is heading.
