we braved mediocrity to bring you extraordinary
From Campus Cafés to Your Kitchen Table
At Good Uncle, we began our journey with a simple aim: to revolutionize food delivery in higher education. Campuses served as our laboratories, where we pushed the boundaries of culinary innovation and operational efficiency, exceeding the expectations of food-loving students.
When COVID-19 sent colleges into remote mode, our business was challenged. During this time, we supported healthcare workers by donating meals designed to be reheated at home. This initiative revealed a fresh opportunity: the direct-to-consumer market.
Prompted by the pandemic’s uncertainty, we expanded our horizons, evolving our campus-focused model to cater to a broader audience - from healthcare facilities to corporate complexes.
The evolution led to a new, diverse business model combining retail and direct-to-consumer services. Today, whether it’s through a partner retail account or direct home delivery, Good Uncle stays committed to our mission: providing you with gourmet, easy-to-enjoy meals wherever you are. Our adaptation to change is proof of our commitment to you. It’s the Good Uncle way, served fresh and hot.
Good Uncle, Great times
At Good Uncle, we believe good, satisfying food should be a staple for all people. We bridge the gap between culinary innovation and accessibility by bringing chef-prepared meals, created in a real kitchen, directly to your work, school, or home. Good food shouldn't be hard to come by.
THE FOOD
Our world-class culinary team crafts a multi-category menu optimized specifically for delivery. All of our food is crafted by a team of talented chefs, and is produced fresh in our network of regional kitchens, loaded into state-of-the-art refrigerated vehicles, and finished cooking in the ovens on-board the vehicles after the order has been placed.
We've found a way to get fresh, high quality meals delivered on-demand without building an expensive kitchen in each of our markets. Think of us as a restaurant and a delivery platform all in one.
THE CHEF
After years of working at Michelin starred Jean-Georges, THE Lebron James of restaurants, Chef Jay Farley went on to helm some of the best kitchens in the nation. Shortly after joining the Good Uncle team as a corporate chef, Jay competed in Iron Chef on the Food Network alongside Chef Erik Battes.
Pulling from his eclectic background, Jay brings multi-cultural flavor to our menu - one that rotates frequently as a way to combat food fatigue (but don’t worry, we have our staples that will always be available - like our savory penne alla vodka).
