Sizl raises $3.5M to expand its cook-to-order food delivery service


Dark kitchens-- also referred to as ghost kitchens, cloud kitchens, or virtual kitchens-- often receive criticism for their food quality. Sizl, a Sizl, a Chicago-based food delivery service that uses a dark kitchen model, raised $3.5 million in seed funding.

Sizl founders Kalinkina, Alex Kolesnikov (CEO), Nick Delitski, and Kyrylo Kupin (CMO) are originally from Ukraine and have prior experience in building a dark kitchen chain.
