Everytable gets the money Last night's episode of ABC hit business series Shark Tank showcased a local name: Everytable. ...
On almost every major street corner in America, fast food joints sell burgers, fries, and chicken nuggets. These multi-billion dollar businesses have become the landscape of America, the food system itself.
But the world is changing. People are searching for healthier, fresher fare.
There has been an explosion in demand for nutritious, fresh, and convenient meals, but only in certain markets and at high price points.
Yet there are companies profitably serving all markets at low prices.
Demand for healthy food is exploding, but the truth is that when salads cost $13 and green juice costs $9, healthy food has become a luxury most people can't afford.
And there are some communities, called food deserts, that have virtually no access to healthy food at all.
Everytable aims to redefine the food landscape the same way McDonald's did fifty years ago. But this time, instead of burgers and fries, we are selling nutritious, fresh food, at fast-food prices.
Centralized production results in incredible efficiencies in the kitchen and makes our locations significantly cheaper to build and operate. They only need enough space to store our delicious food and can be run by a couple employees!
We have locations in food deserts and in affluent areas. To ensure that everyone can afford our meals, we price them according to the neighborhoods we serve.

Our Story
In 2013 Sam Polk, a former hedge fund trader, founded a nonprofit called Groceryships to address food-related health problems in South LA, where the average income is $13,000 a year, life expectancy is 10 years lower than more affluent areas, and diseases like obesity and diabetes are alarmingly high. Groceryships began helping family food providers make healthy choices through nutrition education, cooking classes, free produce, and support groups.
In 2014 David Foster, a former private equity professional, was so inspired by a Groceryships event that he decided to join the nonprofit full-time.
That year, Sam and David began hearing from Groceryships participants that while fresh produce was great, they often had to buy food on the go because they were juggling multiple jobs and large families. And in South LA, their only options were fast food.
Sam and David saw an opportunity to help families like these. So they created a model for a new company that would sell nutritious food in “food deserts” like South LA at prices competitive with fast food.
Groceryships was built on the belief that every life is equally important. Sam and David wanted this core value embedded in the new company, so they called it Everytable, reflecting a mission to bring healthy, affordable food to every table in the country, with no one left out.
Everytable, PBC was formed as a Delaware Public Benefit Corporation, which means that this mission is legally embedded into the company's legal structure.

I liked the idea/goal, and believe folks need this type of healthy fast food source. Good luck.
I have been eating the hearty food from Everytable for over a year now at their flagship (South LA) store. Coincidentally, I bask in their mission and am incredibly grateful to help extend their outreach, especially towards where they envision. It's also a genuine joy to regularly purchase ‘Pay It Forward’ meals every time. Their altruistic stance on consolidating affordability with superlative quality of nutrition is endearing on many fronts.
I invested because the food we eat today is processed, pre-packaged, and generally not good for us. Everytable will set a precedent on healthy fast-food. I'm excited to be apart of it.
