PROVIDOOR

When lockdown hit and chef-restaurateur Shane Delia looked into delivery options for his venues, he didn’t like what he found. So he decided to create his own delivery platform: Providoor. The industry-led solution gained traction with some of Melbourne’s best, including Supernormal, Sunda, Maha, Flower Drum and Tipo 00, who were all quick to sign on. Providoor has been growing steadily for six months now, and focuses on delivering premium restaurant experiences to your door. Rather than compromise the quality of meals, which risk arriving soggy and sweaty if delivered hot, each meal is prepared by a chef, then safely cold-freighted, with the finishing touches added by diners at home. For many restaurants, Providoor has delivered a vital new income stream that will continue as a long-term player in the food delivery ecosystem. “Innovation has been key,” says Scott Pickett of Estelle, Lupo and Matilda. “Shane’s Providoor is a great new way to purchase a restaurant experience online to enjoy at home. Now more than ever it’s important to keep supporting your local restaurants where you can as they work hard to keep their livelihoods, staff and suppliers afloat.”
