About Modern Market Eatery

"Modern
Modern life makes eating out or ordering online a necessity. Modern Market Eatery was born in 2009 in Boulder, CO with the purpose of providing convenient access to clean, nurturing and delicious food. Modern Market Eatery disrupted the fast casual industry because our founding team came from design and finance, not restaurant backgrounds. Modern Market Eatery has truly been reinventing the concept from the kitchen out, putting as much thought into engineering our model for the modern operator as we have for the modern diner.
