Chups Unveils First Online Marketplace Connecting Culinary Creators With Restaurants to Launch Menus in New Markets
Making the restaurant industry more accessible, affordable, and fair, Chups has launched the first online marketplace connecting kitchens who can handle more demand with virtual brands looking to test new markets. Empowering innovative concepts, food bloggers, cooking influencers, and recipe developers to feed their audiences while solving an issue of underutilized restaurant resources, Chups is poised to democratize the world of to-go food. With Chups, virtual brands directly support restaurant revenue while accessing new markets with minimal risk, cost, and effort.
“Chups is the real solution to existing problems. Helping brick-and-mortar kitchens reach their full potential, our community-forward approach lets small brands, not behemoth corporations, share resources and profits,” said Irfan Mohammed, Co-founder of Chups. “We’re shifting the focus to the people behind the counter and in the kitchen, in order to address their needs, as opposed to creating a business that is only focused on its own profits.”

Best Buy also announced it is creating what it’s calling a “Career Pathways program” focusing on potential careers in advertising, through its Teen Tech centers, which offer teens a chance to dabble in tech and electronics across the country. Crowson said the program’s goal is to start filling a pipeline of diverse candidates “that address the breadth” of the American population for future advertising careers.
