Chop Chop is raising funds to expand its delivery platform that is designed to help independent restaurants and gig workers regain control of the food delivery process. The company eliminates the reliance on third-party apps that often charge high commissions, create inconsistent customer experiences, and reduce margins for small businesses. Instead, Chop Chop enables restaurants to use their existing ordering systems while connecting them with verified local drivers through its app. Drivers are paid instantly after each delivery, and restaurants maintain direct relationships with their customers without added fees or revenue splits.

The company has built and tested its minimum viable product with pilots in San Diego and Phoenix, gathering feedback from both restaurants and drivers to refine its service. Funds will be used to scale operations, support onboarding of new drivers, strengthen customer support, and fine-tune the product. By creating a subscription-based model, Chop Chop offers a scalable and predictable revenue stream while addressing the longstanding pain points of commissions, tip withholding, and lack of transparency. The fundraising is focused on positioning Chop Chop for broader adoption and providing a fairer, more sustainable alternative for the food delivery industry.
