Powered by technology and a network of over 1000 restaurants, Fooda feeds hungry people at work through our ongoing food programs located within companies and office buildings. Every day, each Fooda location is served by different restaurants that come onsite and serve fresh lunch from their chef’s unique menus. Employees love Fooda because we provide an affordable everyday lunch option, which we make sure never gets boring. Employers are happy because people are more productive when they don’t have to leave the office to eat. Fooda operates in seven major US cities and plans to continue its expansion across the United States and internationally. Eight out of ten employees believe Fooda is their company’s number one perk.
