Food startups are apparently still steaming hot as French startup Frichti<\/a> just raised a whopping $33.7 million (\u20ac30 million). Frichti is currently available in Paris and nearby cities. It handles everything in-house \u2014 from cooking to orders and deliveries.<\/p>\n Verlinvest<\/a> and Felix Capital<\/a> invested in today\u2019s funding round, with existing investors Alven Capital<\/a> and Idinvest Partners<\/a> also participating.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve already covered<\/a> Frichti and everything is still true today. Frichti stands out from the rest of the (crowded) competition with a simple promise \u2014 healthy meals with a common signature among all options.<\/p>\n In my experience, you know that you\u2019re eating something from Frichti when you compare it to the competition because it tries to be different. Frichti customizes its website depending on the time of the day or week. For instance, on Sunday morning, the startup can help you put together a brunch.<\/p>\n The main downside is that if you\u2019ve been ordering Frichti regularly, you\u2019ll end up ordering the same thing over and over again. The menu doesn\u2019t evolve much, and it feels like it is standing still at times.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve also heard that the startup has been wasting food by cooking too much. It\u2019s hard to preserve food when you cook with fresh ingredients after all.<\/p>\n Frichti delivers cold meals. You\u2019ll have to reheat them before eating them, but there\u2019s no cooking involved other than that. You can also store them in your fridge for a day if you want to save something for later.<\/p>\n As for the delivery aspect, Frichti tries to optimize its rides by handing out multiple deliveries at once to one delivery person. It\u2019s quite easy to do that when the food is coming from the same place. And I\u2019ve even noticed that Deliveroo started doing the same thing when they have multiple orders for the same restaurant.<\/p>\n Frichti is now the most-funded food startup in France. It doesn\u2019t come close to Deliveroo or Uber, but the startup has more money on its bank account than most food startups. It competes with FoodCh\u00e9ri<\/a>, Nestor<\/a>, PopChef<\/a> and countless of others in one way or another.<\/p>\n With today\u2019s funding round, Frichti plans to expand beyond Paris in other European cities. There are currently \u201ctens of thousands of customers\u201d every week and 300 employees \u2014 it looks like cooking your meals in-house requires a big staff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/05\/frichti.jpg?w=680\")
