Fooda offers hospitals multiple choices for restaurant food. Orange by Fooda is a full service retail cafe offering, with dining directors and multiple local restaurants. Fooda Popup offers single restaurant stations either inside existing cafeterias or in standalone locations. Pantries and Micromarkets handle everything in between. Between all offerings, Fooda covers breakfast through dinner and everything else around the clock so no shift is left underserved.

Fooda never serves patient food. We focus on staff and visitor dining, which gives your clinical nutrition team more room to focus on patients.

Yes. Most of Fooda's hospital partners run their own food service. Fooda fills the gaps your team is stretched across, like satellite buildings, added variety, and overnight coverage. Your team keeps control of the main café and its staff.
No. Fooda never serves patient food. We focus only on staff and visitor dining. That lets your clinical nutrition team put its time and expertise into patient care, where dietary needs are most complex.
Orange by Fooda is full-service management of your retail café, run by Fooda dining managers with rotating local restaurant partners. Fooda Popup brings local restaurants onsite as a standalone station, either inside your café or in buildings away from it. Many hospitals use Popup to reach staff who can't travel to the main café on a short break.
24/7 Pantry and micromarkets keep fresh grab-and-go meals, snacks, and beverages stocked around the clock. Overnight teams get real food after the café closes, without you staffing a kitchen overnight. Orange and Popup cover breakfast through dinner.
Every partner in Fooda's network of 4,500+ local restaurants is vetted before serving onsite. Restaurant staff also follow your building's security and credentialing protocols.
Popup and micromarket programs are typically low or no cost to the hospital, because staff pay for their own meals. If you want to cover part or all of each meal as a staff benefit, subsidy options are available.
Most programs go live in 6 to 8 weeks. Your Implementation Manager builds your restaurant network and plans service around your buildings and shift schedules. Launching doesn't require new kitchen staff, because restaurant partners bring their own.
