Milano, Italy-based Poke House has raised EUR 20 million (USD 24 million) to expand its poke bowls delivery concept across Europe.
The restaurant chain, which uses technology and data to optimize delivery of its seafood and rice/noodle bowls, expects sales of more than EUR 40 million (USD 48 million) this year, TechCrunch reported.
It already operates more than 30 restaurants in Italy, Portugal, and Spain, and has 400 employees.
The company’s latest Series B funding round was led by Eulero Capital, with the backing of FG2 Capital and reinvestment from Milan Investment Partners SGR.
The start-up will use the funding to open new restaurants in its existing markets, enter France, and start an expansion in the United Kingdom, TechCrunch reported.
