New York-based Zuul has secured $9 million that it will use to expand its operation of ghost kitchens throughout the city. The company provides kitchen space and logistical support to existing restaurant brands seeking to expand their capacity to provide food-for-delivery. 

Zuul currently operates from its flagship location at 30 Vandam Street in New York City and services brands that deliver to residential and commercial customers in downtown Manhattan. The company, which boasts fast-casual chain Sweetgreen and Murray Hill's Sarge's Delicatessen and Diner among the "restaurant partners" listed on its website, said that it intends to use the additional funds to extend its capacity in high demand areas in all the city's five boroughs.   

"By raising this additional capital, Zuul can continue to play a central role in the restaurant industry's accelerating shift toward delivery while addressing the challenges this shift presents," said Corey Manicone, Co-Founder and CEO of Zuul. "We partner with restaurants to improve the experience end-to-end. As Zuul expands, so too can our members dynamically scale and drive attractive incremental unit economics."
