Taster is a collection of online restaurants dedicated to bringing the best street food to users. The company says that it has launched five highly successful digital restaurant brands with chefs and food personalities, is available in 11 cities across the UK, France and Spain, and has onboarded over 20 partners. Taster's revenue grew 110% to €10.5 million in 2020 alone where it delivered over 1 million meals. The company has raised $50 million to date from investors such as Battery Ventures, Octopus Ventures Rakuten, LocalGlobe (Latitude) and Heartcore Capital.
