Account Executive

Who We Are:

Our story began in 2011 when a group of office workers at a major logistics company in Chicago had a lunch problem. Nearby options were limited, and the team was spending too much time and money traveling to their favorite restaurants. These foodies had an idea: connect with local chefs and bring their culture inside the office to sell food from their authentic restaurants. It was an immediate hit. When they discovered people from other companies sneaking into their office, they knew they were on to something. 

Fooda pioneered the concept of rotating Popup restaurants inside offices. Today, we operate in 45 cities with over 100 million meals served and continue to grow rapidly. Powered by technology and a network of 3,500+ restaurants, we feed hungry people at work through a platform of unique food programs located within companies, office buildings, hospitals, schools, distribution centers, and more. At Fooda, we believe a workplace food program should be something employees love and look forward to every day. Eight out of ten employees believe Fooda is one of their company’s top perks.
