Top chefs join soon-to-launch meal kit delivery plaform Restaurant Box Karl O Dell, former head chef at Texture restaurant in London, and Olivia Burt, 2019 MasterChef The Professionals finalist are among the chefs soon to launch delivery meal options on new restaurant meal delivery platform Restaurant Box.
The soon-to-launch platform will also feature restaurant brands such as Chotto Matte, Café Spice Namaste, Dinings, Café Murano, The French House and Haar at Home.
