Everytable

What Everytable does

Everytable is a Los Angeles-based mission-driven restaurant company founded in 2016 by former hedge fund trader Sam Polk. It operates a chain of 38-40+ grab-and-go retail storefronts across Southern California, with stated plans to reach 50 locations by year-end and expansion into the Bay Area, New York City, and Arizona. The company's defining feature is its dynamic pricing model, which sets meal prices based on the median income of each store's zip code, allowing the same scratch-cooked meals to be priced affordably in food deserts while remaining viable in higher-income neighborhoods.

The core operating technology is a centralized commissary kitchen production model that enables scratch-cooking at scale — roasting its own chicken, chopping vegetables, crafting sauces, and running its own bakery — while supporting small-footprint (500-1,400 sq ft) retail stores that can be operated by a single staff member. This architecture underpins a portfolio of products including hot meals, salads, wraps, sandwiches, soups, breakfast items, and dietary-specific offerings (vegan, gluten-conscious, high-protein, calorie-conscious), augmented by limited-edition collaborations with cultural figures such as Kel Mitchell and 310babii.

Everytable generates revenue through five primary streams: per-transaction retail meal sales at $7+ per meal, recurring subscription meal plans (10% discount, free delivery on $25+ orders, double reward points), corporate workplace catering through Everytable@Work with employer subsidies, institutional food service contracts (LA Department of Aging, City of Phoenix Senior Nutrition, university student meal programs at 12+ SoCal campuses, homeless services through Urban Alchemy at 50+ sites), and franchise fees/royalties including a Social Equity Franchise program providing ownership pathways to minority entrepreneurs. The company has served approximately 10 million meals since 2020 across these channels and has raised roughly $112.6 million in venture funding across multiple rounds, most notably a $55 million Series C in August 2022 and a $25 million follow-on in June 2023.
