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. Fresh. Ready-to-eat. And crafted with the passion that nourishes body and soul.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Unwilling to stop there, CookUnity is expanding beyond delivery to become an ever-innovating marketplace focused on our singular mission: <strong data-stringify-type="bold">empower Chefs to nourish the world.</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">If that mission has you hungry in more ways than one, you’ve found the right job posting.</span></p></div><h2 style="line-height: 1.4;" data-pm-slice="1 1 []">About the Team</h2> <p style="line-height: 1.4;">The Food Safety and Quality Assurance team helps ensure CookUnity’s meals meet food safety, quality, and regulatory standards.
