About

Providoor, an Australian online marketplace for high-end restaurant food delivery co-founded by celebrity chef Shane Delia, has entered liquidation as of late April 2023. The startup, which rapidly expanded during the COVID-19 lockdowns by partnering with restaurants in multiple cities, has effectively shut down, resulting in the layoff of its entire workforce. While exact employee numbers were not disclosed, the closure marks a significant exit from the competitive food delivery and restaurant technology industry, highlighting the challenges faced by venture-backed startups in the post-pandemic landscape.
