More about Eric Thomas Dee
Eric Thomas Dee is both COO of his family’s Foodee Global Concepts and co-founder of Kraver’s Canteen, a trailblazing cloud kitchen concept in the Philippines.
Over 30 years ago, Eric Thomas Dee’s father Rikki Dee put up a restaurant called Chin Chin along Pasay Road. In the decades that followed, that small business would grow to become Foodee Global Concepts—a company that now includes food court brands as well as more upscale casual dining brands like Mesa, Bench Cafe, Sunnies Cafe, and Todd English Food Hall, Tim Ho Wan, Hawker Chan, Tsuta, and Kam’s Roast. Today, the younger Dee has grown into the business as its COO, running things alongside his father, who is CEO.

"After moving back from the USA, eChai became my go-to space to learn how the Indian startup ecosystem works. It offered direct exposure to startup thinking and a community that openly shares business insights. What stood out was how easy it was to connect, learn, and grow through real conversations. As we built our IT hardware rentals business, eChai helped us find our niche and refine our path. Proud and grateful to be part of this amazing community."
