Maple (acquired by Deliveroo)

There are 18,696 restaurants in New York City, but every day at lunch and dinner, between schedules and cravings and budgets and general boredom with our existing options, most of us aren't excited about where we’re going, or in the case of delivery, about what’s coming to our home or office. For quite a while now, we've personally been hungry for food made with good ingredients, prepared with skill, accessible enough that we could eat it every day, and delivered so we can actually fit that meal experience into our busy lives. There’s no question these things exist in New York City, but it’s been tough to get them all rounded up in one place, on one plate. It’s why we built Maple. Menus that change daily, food made with the best from local farms and fields, prepared by chefs who have worked in some of the city’s top restaurants, so delicious you want to eat it every day and priced so you can, brought straight to you wherever you are, in three clicks, maybe four.
