    • $1 billion
  • Walmart
    • $900 million
  • Kroger
    • $830 million

Dog Haus is at the Forefront of the Virtual Kitchen Movement
 
A Restaurant News article highlighted Dog Haus, which in April 2019 became the first brand to commit to a multi-year deal with Kitchen United. Dog Haus currently has two virtual kitchens in Chicago and Pasadena.
 
"Virtual kitchen's offer a one-of-a-kind opportunity for Dog Haus to bring its unique, chef-driven menu to people when and where they want a good meal," said Dog Haus Partner André Vener in the above Restaurant News article. "Food delivery is booming. Well over half of modern-day consumers in the U.S. get delivery at least once a week, which translates to huge opportunities for businesses that can keep up. But Dog Haus isn't just keeping up, we are leading the charge. We believe that it's important to embrace the changes happening in this part of our industry. It's not only an enormous growth opportunity but also an amazing way to serve our handcrafted creations to current and future Dog Haus fanatics in one fell swoop."
