Short-form video is the kind of content people want to discover recipes and restaurants, and CookUnity acquired the flavrs shoppable video platform to power a new, video-first food ordering experience. "With this new shoppable-video experience, we can inspire food lovers to explore the incredible world of flavors our community creates. It’s a powerful step toward making culinary discovery as exciting and personal as the meals themselves,” said Mateo Marietti, Founder & CEO, CookUnity.
CookUnity is set to become the first meal-delivery platform to integrate a video-first discovery experience. Already, CookUnity’s celebrity chefs in New York City are using flavrs to tell the stories behind signature dishes, their hot takes, and deepen the connection between the people who share their passion for food.
