We deliver chefprepared balanced meals via smart fridges installed in offices around London. Employees can enjoy healthy cooked meals on site 24/7. This is not only an incredible perk (when paired with a meal subsidy) to attract and retain employees but also a solution that allows employers to meet their CSR commitments especially on delivery and food waste.

Created in France in 2015 Foodles has raised 40m so far with toptier UK and French VCs. Foodles is entering the UK market with the ambition to become the European leader for next generation B2B canteens! For this we are recruiting an Ateam to conquer UK companies and reinvent the way Londoners eat at lunchtime.
