In LA's entertainment industry, employees expect quality, variety, and real restaurant-caliber meals. A leading entertainment company in Burbank needed a dining program that could clear that bar and give people a reason to show up on core office days.
They determined their workforce includes planners who want to pre-order and last-minute deciders who'd rather see what looks good. From there, they quickly realized that they needed help with the logistics and a single dining solution wasn't going to serve everyone.
To solve their lunch problems, Fooda implemented a combined Popup Restaurant + Group Order Delivery program.
Employees who plan ahead order individually through Fooda's platform before a 10 AM cutoff, with full dietary customization. Employees who prefer to keep it spontaneous walk up to the on-site Popup for freshly prepared meals from a visiting restaurant.
But the real magic is the backend technology that makes the hybrid model work. A single daily subsidy applies across both options, resets each eligible day, and is managed through one admin dashboard.
A well-run dining program gives employees a reason to be onsite, signals investment in the employee experience, and cuts the time lost to off-site lunch runs.
As the company's Facilities & Office Services Manager put it, “If they have a full stomach, they’re going to get the work done and not have to go off site and lose an hour of productivity.”
