Hyphen, a foodservice platform that automates culinary operations—including meal production at assembly stations—has raised $25 million in funding led by Chipotle’s Cultivate Next venture fund, which invested $15 million in July 2024, and Cava, which has just contributed $5 million with an additional $5 million commitment subject to terms.
