COCAI EXPRESS: FOOD DELIVERY IN VENICE

Last Monday we had a call with two founders of Cocai Express, a new food delivery start up born in Venice during the lockdown with the aim of helping local restaurants to deliver food for Venetian citizens.

Are you planning to come to Venice?

Are you worried about how the transports and the logistical services work?

And do you want to keep it easy, and maybe lose yourself in a perfect Italian atmosphere and routine?
