Ever since the outbreak or even before the COVID-19, food delivery has always been a godsend for many. Now more than ever, the food service industry is relying on takeout and delivery orders to keep businesses afloat. Restaurant and food service people have been hit the hardest. Now, some of those folks, are finally getting some help. There is now a new app that helps out of work restaurant chefs who are utilizing the idea to sell their signature dishes from home and earn an income by doing that.

The newly launched WoodSpoon app connects customers with New York City’s best home chefs to deliver delicious homemade food across Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn. WoodSpoon is a new community-based, two-sided online platform that facilitates the process of ordering a variety of dishes from local cooks. The app’s respected lineup of chefs and home cooks are given a platform to share their culture and passion with others, creating an inclusive culinary experience for all. Customers can order for immediate delivery or schedule ahead on WoodSpoon’s free mobile app for iOS and Android. Customers are provided with a quick, reliable delivery service from the chef's kitchen, to their doorstep.
