nudge to nourish
for the Workplace
We help organizations leverage nudging to optimize employee wellbeing and health—unlocking peak productivity, innovation, and a competitive business edge.
Growth, innovation, connection, creativity, and productivity - it all happens around food. We create intentional dining experiences at work that bring people together and nourish Teams so they can do their best work. 
Food Choice Architecture & Nudging
Food Choice Architecture (FCA) is the intentional design of food choices to make sustainable, nourishing food choices the easiest choice, without restricting options. FCA is rooted in behavioral science and can strongly influence the way we select and enjoy food.
We leverage food choice architecture to help you meet the goals of your organization. Whether your organization is focused on peak productivity, sustainability, user experience, healthy eating, food safety, food waste reduction, or reducing healthcare costs, choice architecture is a differentiator that will position your business to thrive in today’s high-demanding work environment.
There are different food choice strategies that can be broadly bucketed into the following levers. These levers can be used to make the target choice the easy choice by minimizing the effort required for selecting the targeted option.
