01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Family Style, founded in 2017 in Santa Monica by Lawrence Vavra, was a virtual restaurateur: its enlightened kitchens produced chef-driven virtual restaurant concepts — delivery-only brands built with celebrity partners such as Steve Aoki's Pizzaoki — delivering convenience and craveability to consumers. The company raised $3.2 million in venture funding and operated delivery-only brands from ghost-kitchen and distressed-strip-mall facilities.
