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.

Quantum Rise is a rapidly scaling AI consulting and product development start-up focused on helping high growth organizations adopt AI and win their industry. Our offerings range from strategy and roadmap engagements through to full AI/ML product development. We are expanding our client delivery team and are looking for a talented and experienced consulting leader to join as a Senior Director and be the face of our most strategic client engagements. We operate in line with 3 guiding principles that we call Consulting 2.0:

• Profit, not PowerPoints.... while we create PowerPoints (strategy & roadmaps) our primary objective is to help get our clients build and deploy AI solutions that significantly impact profit (top line revenue and bottom-line costs)
• Product, not projects... the AI products we deploy should always on, continuously measured, and iteratively improved via the product backlog
• Open, not black box... we will take our clients along the journey helping them understand how it works and the fundamentals that influence AI product success like process/end-use experience, data strategy, governance, and change management.
