Why One of Chicago's Premier Office Buildings Replaced Their Legacy Cafeteria with Fooda's Program

330 North Wabash is a Chicago Landmark Building and a trophy asset on the National Register of Historic Places. The class-A building, designed by renowned architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, sits on the Chicago River between the city’s two main business districts, River North and The Loop. It collects accolades: 2019 Energy Star Partner of the Year, LEED Gold Certified, there’s even an organic garden and honeybee apiary on the roof.

The building’s TOBY award-winning management is constantly looking to improve the already incredible office building. After assessing their legacy cafeteria operation in 2017 and seeing participation could be higher, they decided to solicit proposals for alternative options.

One proposal stood out from the pile of typical proposals from institutional corporate cafeteria providers.
