Food delivery platform Shef has helped home cooks deliver more than 200,000 meals nationwide. Yet delivery apps like DoorDash and Grubhub continue to see record demand for restaurant-quality food. Shef, an Airbnb-like platform for home cooked meals, is ramping up to meet that demand while providing opportunities for immigrants to earn money by sharing the home cooking of their cultures. On Thursday, the San Francisco-based startup announced a $8.8 million funding round to expand its network of chefs delivering home-cooked meals. Those hankering for home cooking will find a wide variety of cuisines to choose from, including Shanghainese, Bangladeshi, Maldivian and more.
