Job Description
Fooda is a pioneering company that redefined workplace dining, starting in 2011 when a group of Chicago office workers identified a clear gap in local food options near their workplace. Recognizing the inconvenience and cost associated with traveling to favorite restaurants for lunch, they innovatively created a concept that brought Chicago's vibrant local restaurant culture right inside the office. This idea quickly became a hit, paving the way for Fooda to establish itself as the leader in rotating popup restaurants inside office spaces. Today, Fooda operates in 45 cities across the United States, serving over 100 million meals through a robust technology platform that connects employers, employees, and over 1500 local restaurant partners. Their unique food programs are strategically located not just in corporate offices, but also in hospitals, schools, distribution centers, and various other workplaces, ensuring that people have access to fresh, diverse, and delicious food options without leaving their work environment.
Fooda's commitment to enhancing the workplace dining experience is rooted in the belief that food programs should be something employees look forward to every day, promoting a happier, healthier, and more productive workforce. The company thrives on innovation, leveraging technology to streamline food delivery and provide a seamless dining experience that fits the fast-paced demands of modern workplaces. This approach has fueled rapid expansion and a growing reputation as a desirable employer within the food service industry.
