Fooda, a leader in workplace dining solutions, is excited to announce it has acquired Foodsby, an innovator in the group delivery space. By joining forces under Fooda’s umbrella, the combined companies will offer expanded opportunities for clients and local restaurant partners, enhancing workplace dining experiences across the country.
With this move, Fooda strengthens its ability to provide diverse dining solutions to smaller locations, including offices with fewer than 500 team members, while continuing to serve its broad client base across corporate offices, hospitals, schools, higher education, retail, and distribution centers. For Foodsby, the acquisition offers an opportunity to expand its innovative group delivery platform nationwide and provide its clients with a wider range of dining options through Fooda’s extensive service offerings. Foodsby’s model allows employees to select meals from a rotating list of local restaurants delivered to centralized drop points and aligns perfectly with Fooda’s goal of bringing authentic, local restaurant meals to people where they work.
Integrating Foodsby’s capabilities will allow Fooda to deliver greater customization and flexibility to clients across various sizes, industries, and geographies. The combination of Foodsby’s strengths in group delivery with Fooda’s expertise in workplace food service programs, technology, sales, and marketing creates growth opportunities for local restaurant partners by expanding their reach to new clients in more than 50 cities nationwide.
“We’re very excited to welcome the Foodsby team to Fooda,” said Orazio Buzza, CEO of Fooda. “This acquisition brings together two talented teams who share deep passion and expertise in shaping the future of workplace dining and supporting local restaurants. Both teams have shown incredible resilience in overcoming challenges during the pandemic while achieving growth in recent years. By joining forces, we’ll create even more meaningful experiences for people who work onsite, while making a positive impact on the communities around us.”
Fooda, founded in 2011, has become a leader in workplace dining by offering a variety of local restaurant meals through services ranging from rotating Popups to full-scale cafeteria management. Foodsby, established in 2012, has built a strong reputation for connecting office workers with local restaurants through its efficient group delivery platform, simplifying lunch by delivering meals to centralized locations within office buildings. Now under Fooda’s umbrella, Foodsby will continue to develop its platform, leveraging Fooda’s expanded resources and comprehensive service offerings.
“We’re delighted to join forces with Fooda, a company just as passionate as we are about transforming workplace dining and boosting local restaurants,” said Ben Cattoor, Founder of Foodsby. “Combining Foodsby’s unique lunch delivery platform with Fooda’s range of services means more value for our clients and a bigger reach for our restaurant partners. Together, we’re set to make workplace dining easier, more varied, and a lot more fun.”
The partnership between Fooda and Foodsby will drive new opportunities and deliver enhanced value to clients, employees, and local restaurant partners. The companies are committed to leveraging their combined strengths to create impactful dining experiences and support the growth of local restaurant communities.
