Start-up: Khachab gibt Führung bei der Gastro-Bestellplattform Choco ab

Eight years after its founding, Daniel Khachab's start-up company, Choco, has gained the attention of some of the world's largest food producers. Speaking to the Handelsblatt, Khachab, a 37-year-old, commented on their AI platform Order Agent, which now handles over a million orders per month. This marks a significant moment for Khachab, who has decided to assume the role of company leader.

Dave Howgego, previously the company's sales director, has been taking on more leadership roles within Choco over the past months. Khachab plans to focus on the company's operations and product development, delegating these duties to Howgego. Choco's business exclusively targets wholesale food distributors, with over 30,000 suppliers currently using their platform.

The company earns revenue through a commission paid by the suppliers when orders are placed. However, Choco does not disclose its current revenue or earnings, nor does it reveal any of its business partners. The company has stated that it is not yet profitable, a fact Howgego aims to change. "Our goal is to become profitable," he said. Additionally, the company has expanded its operations to the Asia-Pacific market.
