SAN DIEGO, CA - US Foods recently added a strategic new resource to its network as the distributor has teamed up with hungr, an order management and delivery service. The partnership is in tandem with hungr’s latest innovation, hungr Kitchen, which offers turn-key full service virtual brands available for restaurant operators to sell using their existing restaurant space, equipment, and staffing.

“We are excited to partner with hungr in their virtual brand efforts, providing them with high quality products to support these exciting offerings,” said Steve Nicolazzi, Vice President of Local Sales, US Foods.

According to a press release, hungr Kitchen features a portfolio of eight brands, including Bongo BBQ, Incredible Wings, Orbit Pizza, WaffleTwist, Gooey Melt, WELL BUILT BURGER, BURGERFED, and MEATLERY.

The service will enable restaurant operators to maximize their operations and increase profits. Not only does hungr provide the brand, menu, and recipe, but it also takes care of the technology needed to operate in conjunction with its AI-powered marketing and delivery technology. This increases the profit to restaurants, as they won’t need to use another delivery platform to fulfill orders.

“hungr has always tried to help restaurant operators extend their sales, and so far that has been through providing food delivery at the lowest rates in the industry,” said hungr’s Chief Marketing Officer, Aaron Mortensen. “With hungr Kitchen, we can help restaurants even more, especially during this time when many restaurants are struggling due to the pandemic, by developing complete solutions of virtual brands to increase revenue based on proven data from searches on our online ordering platforms.”
