About the Companies
As a non-profit institution, the Brazilian Service of Support for Micro and Small Enterprises (Sebrae) aims to promote sustainable development, enhance competitiveness, and encourage entrepreneurship. It is present in all regions of Brazil, with its own structure and that of partners.
On the other hand, iFood is a service that provides a free app for meal delivery orders, allowing customers to order their favorite dishes without having to call restaurants. However, surprisingly, long before all this modernity, back in 2011, with Disk Cook, iFood was a menu guide with a call center where you called and placed your order. Since then, there have been many innovations that have allowed iFood to expand remarkably.
