Airbnb and CookUnity, a leading chef-led meal delivery service, are partnering to help take the hassle out of cooking for travelers and locals, with convenient access to prepared meals through Airbnb Services.
Through this partnership, Airbnb guests can reserve affordable prepared meals crafted by award-winning chefs, including Esther Choi, Cat Cora, Ludo Lefebvre, José Garces, Einat Admony, Aarthi Sampath, Dustin Taylor and John DeLucie, representing a diverse range of cuisines and culinary styles. Each CookUnity meal highlights the creativity and craft of their chef creator and brings the experience of culinary excellence straight to guests, wherever they are, without the high cost of ordering take out or dining out.
"Our new partnership with CookUnity fits perfectly into the ethos of Airbnb Services - offering guests more convenience, comfort and value during their travels. We're excited to bring CookUnity's expertise in high-quality, reliably-delivered meals directly into the Airbnb app, making it easier for guests to enjoy fresh, ready-to-heat gourmet meals during their stay or even at home," said Dave Stephenson, Chief Business Officer at Airbnb.
"At CookUnity, our mission has always been to make chef-crafted, high-quality meals more accessible," said Mateo Marietti, Founder and CEO of CookUnity. "This partnership with Airbnb expands on that vision, empowering chefs to reach new audiences while giving guests a convenient and elevated dining experience from some of the most recognized culinary talents in the world."
Whether it's families on vacation, or business travelers on tight schedules - or locals seeking an effortless gourmet experience - CookUnity's prepared meals offer something for everyone, to make dining simpler. All meals are cooked in small batches directly by chefs and their teams to help ensure quality and consistency and are delivered fresh in sustainable packaging and ready to eat in minutes-giving guests an elevated meal that's convenient, nourishing, and affordable.
Starting today, select guests and locals across the U.S.1 can order bundles of three to six prepared meals on Airbnb Services, for as low as $15 per meal, and choose from a curated selection of globally inspired CookUnity meals, from crave-worthy comfort foods and Sunday staples, to signature Latin hits and more. CookUnity listings will continue to roll out to more cities across the U.S. and in Canada throughout this year.
