Inspiration
A study by Antal and Sodexo shows that 1 out of 10 employees doesn’t eat a single meal while at work. Long working hours and demanding workloads often prevent breaks, leading to poor nutrition and productivity dips. Meanwhile, globally over 2.1 billion people are using meal delivery apps, with Asia being the largest market (1.84 billion users in 2024). Despite this, food apps are often bulky, slow, and interruptive to workflows—especially when juggling work or family responsibilities.
What it does
Agent Foody is your smart food-ordering assistant designed for the modern work environment. It sends timely reminders to eat during work hours and lets you order with a simple command like:
“Hey Foody, order my usual to the office.”
You can pick from 3 pre-set dishes, and that’s it. No need to fumble through apps, addresses, or checkout pages.
Running late for a meeting but need to order a burger or cheesecake for your kids? Agent Foody handles that too!
Available through both a Commerce D2C website and Slack integration, Agent Foody simplifies food ordering, saves time, and ensures you and your loved ones never go hungry.
