Entrée prepares restaurant-quality meals at scale using a Michelin-trained culinary team led by Alex Carnovale and packages items in recyclable, plastic-neutral packaging so food arrives hot and not soggy. The company offers a rotating menu of 30–50 items per month across breakfast, meals for two, desserts and a beverage program (including craft cocktails), with most items ready to eat in minutes. Prices run roughly 30%–50% below restaurant equivalents and the product includes ambiance touches such as curated playlists, a virtual maître d’ and coloring sheets for kids. Entrée launched in Chicago last July and operates with a 14-person team; its app is available on the App Store. Operating metrics reported to TechCrunch include over 1,000 users, “tens of thousands” in monthly revenue, average order volume north of $60, and a reorder rate above 40% within 30 days. The company plans to expand outside Chicago beginning in 2024 and is investing in technology (Android app, “coming soon” and referral features), faster menu development, additional culinarians, and experiments with new finishing and distribution approaches.
