Ando was an online food delivery app that was created by David Chang.[3]
History
David Chang, Korean-American founder and chef of noodle restaurant chain Momofuku based out of New York City founded Ando in May 2016.[4][5] Both companies were named after Momofuku Ando, the inventor of instant noodles.[6][3]
The company began to be developed in 2013 in collaboration with Garrett Camp's startup accelerator Expa.[7][5] The menu was designed by Chang and former WD-50 chef J.J Basil.[5] It featured American cuisine like cheesesteaks, donuts and Milk Bar cookies.[7][8] Ando has stated that its menu and food selection was "designed for delivery," meaning that it would keep well during long delivery times.[7] Orders could accepted through the company's app, website or Seamless.[9] The food was delivered by UberRUSH to the destination.[7]
In November 2016, Ando secured $7 million in Series A funding to help expand delivery locations in New York City.[10][11] Other angel investors include Jimmy Fallon and Aziz Ansari.[12] Ando was acquired by Uber Eats in January 2018.[13][14]
