Mac’d operates a customizable mac and cheese concept where customers pick bases (including a cauliflower GF option), sauces (like the “#Basic” cheddar blend), noodles and mix-ins. The company runs two brick-and-mortar locations in San Francisco and sells in Portland via a ghost kitchen on delivery platforms. Mac’d began with pop-up events and opened its first permanent location in July 2017; the second location was funded from the first location’s profits. The founders, Chen‑Chen Huo and Antony Bello, describe the business as tech-enabled but primarily a restaurant play that integrates technology into operations. Expansion plans focus on low-capital ghost/commissary kitchens to enter roughly five to seven cities over the next 12 months before adding more brick-and-mortar sites. To date the company has been bootstrapped and driven by operating profits.
