First Fund Invests in DineEasy

We’re delighted to welcome DineEasy to the First Fund portfolio.

Founded by Arya Rashtchian, Nader Samadyan and Kai Sackville-Hii, DineEasy is on a mission to empower restaurants and local entrepreneurs in small communities by allowing them to operate their own regional food delivery operations at a fraction of the commission cost that they usually have to pay to large competitors such as UberEats or SkipTheDishes. Their software suite also becomes a one-stop shop for restaurants' online presence, with QR menus replacing paper menus and customized websites that are equipped with ordering and payment, along with a modifiable menu management system.

“What all restaurants need to make up for their huge losses during the pandemic is a food delivery platform with a low commission” said co-founder Arya Rashtchian.

“DineEasy is showing tremendous growth by helping food businesses knocked down by the pandemic thrive again with a notably low commission for food delivery, while also reducing the risks of eating out through their digitized services. Restaurants and cafes everywhere have a need for DineEasy’s services, and their experienced team has what it takes to bring DineEasy to communities all over the country” First Fund founder Samarth Chandola said.
