Led · Equity · Oct 2024
Munchfam offers a service platform that combines digital tools, plug ’n’ play brands and high‑quality ingredients to help restaurants improve efficiency and profitability. Its solutions support restaurants across dine‑in, delivery and takeout sales channels. The company was founded in Finland by Pertti Kallioinen, Wei Zhou, Henri Auvinen and Sauli Lehtovaara; the founders and team have over 50 years of combined experience in the restaurant industry and service business development across the EU, Australia and Silicon Valley. Team members have built and run their own restaurant chains and draw on that operational experience to design the service.
