Personalized benefits
Recognition and rewards system
CookUnity, founded in Brooklyn in 2015, has grown into a top-tier meal service connecting over 100 chefs with customers through personalized, chef-prepared meals. With a global team of 800 people and seven kitchens in key U.S. cities, CookUnity needed a seamless, scalable way to support 27% of its international team.
They turned to Atlas. Their existing benefit solutions required juggling multiple vendors, creating inefficiencies and unused resources. They wanted a practical, unified approach to delivering benefits without the budget drain or time spent managing local providers.
The challenge
CookUnity faced a unique challenge in managing benefits for its global team. They needed a solution that would grow with them, freeing their HR team from monthly vendor management. The goal was a simple, frictionless system that would provide team members with diverse, appealing benefits across all locations. They wanted consistent access for their team members—whether in Argentina, Spain, Italy, or even the Philippines—and they needed a way to monitor and optimize benefits usage to eliminate budget waste.
The solution
CookUnity partnered with Atlas, drawn to its vast global benefits options and ease of implementation. Atlas’s dedicated support, streamlined onboarding, and user-friendly platform made it easy for CookUnity team members to start enjoying their personalized benefits. “Atlas is a solution that grows with us,” says Viñas. “As Atlas expands its offerings, we know our team members will continue receiving relevant, meaningful benefits that adapt to their needs”.
“Atlas is more than just a vendor; it’s a partner we trust. We’ve equalized benefits across Spain, Italy, Argentina, and the Philippines (to name a few countries) thanks to Atlas. The engagement is incredible—in surveys and how team members share their experiences and recommend new benefits. Atlas has become a valuable part of their everyday lives”
