Fooda

At Fooda, we appreciate all of our local restaurant partners, so we spoke with Delish Thai Kitchen to learn about their food, their history, and their experience with Fooda. By merging hospitality with authentic Thai flavors, Natalie Saensradi has built a beloved North Hollywood institution. In only a few years, Delish's team has made a noticeable enough impact on the local community to be granted a Congressional Recognition Award. Delish Thai Kitchen's partnership with Fooda has allowed them to expand their reach, introducing more people to the sweet, savory, and spicy tastes of Thai cooking, and they've quickly become a beloved addition to our network. Check out the full post linked below to learn more about what makes Delish so special. https://lnkd.in/eECJaZfA

Did you miss our webinar last week? No worries! The recording is now live on our website, available for you to watch whenever. During this webinar, we explored how the workplace is changing and so are the expectations surrounding food at work. While watching, you'll learn how adaptive food programs work with your office rather than against it, and how to establish one in your workplace. You can watch the recording now at the link below. If your workplace is in need of an updated food program, you won't want to miss it. https://lnkd.in/gg5s49u4

When CityWest, one of the largest corporate campuses in Houston, asked Orange by Fooda to bring their dining program back to life, we couldn't wait to partner with them. With our hospitality-first approach, we not only elevated the quality of food available to employees, but also the dining experience as a whole.

We had a blast at our Summer Party! Thank you so much to all of our employees that made the trip to our Chicago headquarters. Throughout the day, we got to hear about all things Fooda from our President, Alex G., and CEO, Orazio Buzza. We also enjoyed Popups from our local restaurant partners and closed out the party with a river cruise. We love celebrating our workplace culture and the employees that make it possible. We also want to give a special shoutout to our 2025 Fooda Leaders who were honored during this event. These employees help Fooda stay at the forefront of innovation and we can't wait to see what they'll do next. Thanks to everyone for a great day, and we're already looking forward to next year! 🎉 Photos by: Kayla Jane McLaughlin 📸

We're proud to share that our Founder & CEO Orazio Buzza's latest byline has been published in citybiz. In this article, he explores a shift that's been hiding in plain sight in commercial real estate: how food has quietly become one of the biggest levers for tenant retention and building value.   As developers compete harder than ever to keep tenants happy and their leases renewing, Orazio makes the case that food is a unique and often overlooked opportunity. It's one that ties directly to culture, recruitment, and return-to-office success for the employers who occupy these buildings.   Here at Fooda, this is the gap we work to close daily. By connecting commercial buildings with local restaurant partners, we help bring real and flexible dining into the workplace.   If you're interested in how commercial real estate developers can turn something as simple as a meal into a measurable driver of rent, retention, and tenant satisfaction, check out Orazio's full piece below: https://lnkd.in/gNqKhbJQ

Chicago's biggest music festival is this weekend, which means hundreds of thousands of hungry festival-goers will be looking for somewhere good to eat around the city. From deep dish to Italian beef, this city has no shortage of iconic dishes to accompany an iconic festival. As a business that was founded in Chicago, we spend our days doing our own version of what the festival does: finding fan-favorites worth the hype and bringing them somewhere new. For Lollapalooza, that's artists in Grant Park. For Fooda, it's local restaurants in your office lobby. Whether you're in town for the weekend or a local looking for your next go-to spot, check out the comments to find our guides to the best restaurants and pizza in Chicago, plus what food the city is actually known for. #Fooda #Lollapalooza #ChicagoEats #WorkplaceFoodProgram

Providing Lunch options for employees used to be a nice-to-have. Now it's a major competitive advantage. What started as a popular office perk has grown into a national platform built on the reality that workplace food is becoming a necessity for companies looking to attract and retain top talent.   Fooda's Founder & CEO, Orazio Buzza, joined Tom Ryan on ICR's Welcome to the Arena podcast to talk about that journey, including how the team rebuilt Fooda after losing 95% of its revenue during COVID.   Listen here: https://lnkd.in/gZ4jjhjY

Two years ago, Jan Los joined Fooda to lead our enterprise division. Today, that division is now Orange by Fooda, thanks to a rebrand and reinvention he and his team helped shape from the ground up. After 31 years in hospitality, Jan has learned a lot about leadership. His mindset, along with his passion for the restaurant industry, have helped Orange grow into the success it is today.
