Description
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. They had an idea: bring Chicago’s local restaurant culture inside the office to sell food. 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 1500+ 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.
Who We Are Looking For:
Fooda is seeking a Manager of FP&A to be the primary owner of the company’s financial planning and analysis function. This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives on owning the work directly, with a clear path to grow as the team expands around you.
Fooda is entering its next phase of growth, requiring more sophisticated financial planning, enhanced visibility into unit economics, and stronger capital management. This role will build on a solid financial foundation to scale FP&A capabilities, introduce greater rigor, and strengthen financial control across the business. The role will be based in Chicago and is expected to be in office 3 days per week.
