On the 16th, CJ Foodville signed a strategic business agreement with Monthly Kitchen (Monki), a digital dining platform company, at the Monki Munjeong Legal Town branch located in Songpa-gu, Seoul, to activate CJ Foodville's dining delivery service.

Since starting services in two locations in Seocho and Gangnam, Seoul in 2020, CJ Foodville currently operates dining delivery services at 76 offline stores nationwide, including 27 delivery-only stores. CJ Foodville is growing by turning its dining brand assets such as 'VIPS', 'The Place', and 'Jeil Jemyunso', as well as the curry specialty store 'Roco Curry', burger specialty store 'VIPS Burger', and salad specialty store 'VIPS Salad Meal' into O2O (Online to Offline) services. Recently, in response to the surge in delivery demand and changes in dining trends, CJ Foodville launched the integrated ordering app for its dining brands, 'CHEF GO', further accelerating the expansion of its delivery business.

Monki is a digital dining platform startup that possesses kitchen solutions optimized for delivery operations. Equipped with an IT shared kitchen system, it has digitized all processes except cooking, providing a hygienic and safe cooking environment and convenience services simultaneously through ICT solutions.

Through this agreement, CJ Foodville will receive various solutions and strategic support necessary to expand customer experience and improve service levels for premium dining delivery from Monki. Monki plans to solidify its leading position in the industry by hosting CJ Foodville's dining brands, which have high customer recognition and preference.

Kim Hyukgyun, CEO of Monthly Kitchen, said, “We believe that Monki, which has know-how in operating platforms digitally, and CJ Foodville, which has excellent brand capabilities, will provide customers with more convenient and satisfying services through mutual cooperation,” and added, “We look forward to various CJ Foodville dining brands with a strong fan base entering each Monki branch to increase customer touchpoints.”
