Gourmet food delivery service Providoor reborn six months after collapse

Six months after the collapse of celebrity chef Shane Delia’s COVID-born gourmet food venture Providoor, the brand has been resurrected by Sydney-based entrepreneur and investor Sam Benjamin.

Providoor, which went into liquidation in April, resumed operations today servicing the Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane markets after Benjamin, an avid user of the original service, acquired the company shortly after it went into liquidation.

Delia founded Providoor during COVID lockdowns in 2020 with the aim of keeping restaurants in business. At the time of its collapse, the business supported about 80 restaurants including the likes of Curtis Stone, Three Blue Ducks, Rockpool and Saké, providing a premium at-home delivery service across almost 2,000 menu items.

The company is said to have supplied more than a million meals to customers over three years, with Providoor revealing that in its first year the company generated more than $40 million in revenue for the restaurant industry.

Under a new model developed by Benjamin, the founder and managing director of Seventh Street Ventures, Providoor is offering home deliveries of restaurant-quality meals backed by a raft of celebrity chefs creating frozen and fresh options for the menu through Providoor Frozen and Providoor Locale respectively.

Among the names backing the relaunch are Matt Preston, Silvia Colloca, Anna Polyviou, Luke Nguyen, Gary Mehigan, Manu Feildel, Justin Narayan and George Calombaris, who are providing menu offerings for the venture.
