Hoxton Ventures, a backer of Deliveroo and Darktrace, is leading Kbox's £5m fundraising, Sky News learns.

The company describes itself as a facilitator for 'host kitchens', enabling restaurants to diversify their revenue streams.

Most restaurants, however, serve meals associated with only one brand, meaning that most kitchens are under-utilised.Kbox argues that its model is more robust because it is not reliant on a single trade customer. The addition of Hoxton as an investor is designed to help Kbox expand its business quickly, both in the UK and internationally.

Kbox's founder, Salima Vellani, who owns a small chain of chicken restaurants, said her start-up lowered the investment barriers to food delivery expansion."The old economics of investment in bricks-and-mortar and expansion of kitchen facilities is both unnecessary and increasingly unworkable.

Wigan debacle exposes need for reset of English football's financesWhatever the ins and outs of its dramatic collapse, the club’s fate is symptomatic of EFL’s ongoing financial plight I think at least 10 club scenarios have exposed this in recent years. Nothing has - or will - be done. This is serious. There was a time a club achieved success through good management from top to bottom. Now it is just a plaything for the rich who clean the club out and then throw it to the wolves. It is time they realized that football is for the community not the rich.
