Munchery Inc. is an online food ordering and meal delivery service that allows users to order meals for same-night delivery from local chefs.

Overview
Munchery is a conglomeration of chefs who offer continually changing menus to users. Chefs choose their dishes and source ingredients, and users rate the meals. Meals can be ordered up to 6 p.m. the same day, or a few days in advance. A fleet of drivers delivers the dinners within a chosen one-hour window between 5 and 9 p.m., and the chilled food needs to be reheated before serving. After trying the meals, diners can post reviews online, and they can also directly message chefs through the site.
Munchery serves areas of San Francisco, New York City, Seattle and Los Angeles.
