Foodles is the pioneer and leader in smart office canteen solutions. We provide a unique, flexible and sustainable alternative to traditional office canteens and B2B catering solutions.

We deliver chef-prepared, balanced meals via smart fridges installed in offices around London and surrounding areas outside the M25. 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 top-tier UK and French VCs. Foodles has entered the UK market with the ambition to become the European leader for next generation B2B canteens! For this, we are recruiting an A-team to conquer UK companies and reinvent the way Londoners eat at lunchtime.

We’re looking for a passionate, enthusiastic, and outgoing person to join our sales team of 5 to support our fast growth.
