Our founder and CEO Orazio Buzza recently spoke with Pulse 2.0 to talk about all things Fooda. From the founding of Fooda to our future goals, Orazio shared everything that makes us stand out as a workplace food platform. Since the beginning, Orazio has pushed Fooda to be at the forefront of innovation when it comes to workplace dining. As a result, Fooda has served over 125 million meals (and counting)! We are looking forward to growing in size, advancing our proprietary technology, and most importantly, continuing to serve our local communities.

No one does free lunch like Fooda. And yes’s there is such a thing. Especially today!
As #layoffs mount and #performance standards tighten, some companies are scaling back #perks, except when it comes to food. Report by Ana Altchek Read more: https://lnkd.in/ewCeUrDv

Thank you, Jordan Ottinger for sharing this delicious video. Love to see awesome Fooda partners like Katz's Delicatessen in action!
⚠️ this might make you hungry ⚠️ one reason I love my role - and what Fooda gets to manage - is seeing the restaurant partners I've personally onboarded thrive and express their passion for their craft Katz's Delicatessen @ Your Office 🏬 we use the term #Popup often and while that word may feel as a one-off event, we are far from that. our business is to create and manage #recurring daily experiences one after another exclusively in your #office 🥗🌯🌮🍱🫔🥙🍣🍝🥡🍪🧃🍩☕️ for the partners, this ability to create brand engagement, interactions, and personal connections outside of their four walls is one of the greatest forms of true local partnerships. we excel in that. #tryFooda

51% of employees are actively or passively looking for a new role. That's the highest turnover risk Gallup has measured since 2015. Eagle Hill's 2025 Retention Index put it well: employees are staying, but their loyalty is conditional. It's a window, not a bubble. The companies treating retention as a strategic priority now will keep their best people when the market shifts again. The highest-ROI retention levers aren't the most expensive ones. Fooda's new guide breaks down what actually works. For HR, people, and workplace leaders heading into 2026. https://lnkd.in/duDQujQr

Lunch shouldn’t feel like a vendor passively showing up. It should feel like: “𝗪𝗮𝗶𝘁... 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲?” Like something you’d go out of your way for… that just happens to be downstairs. The kind of setup that makes people pause mid-conversation and say, “𝗢𝗸𝗮𝘆 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁 — 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀?” The difference between a transactional lunch program and one people talk about later --- isn’t the menu --- It’s the experience. It’s the moment something feels elevated, unexpected… and honestly a little fun. 📣 Leah Shoot, thanks for sharing your awesome setup
