About Foodini
Foodini is a venture-backed AI company on a mission to make eating out safe for everyone. For the 33 million Americans with a food allergy, and the 173 million who live with intolerances or dietary needs, a menu is not a convenience. It is a question of whether tonight ends in a great meal or an emergency room. We think that is unacceptable, and we are fixing it.
Our dietary intelligence platform helps restaurants, hotels, stadiums, and food-service operators get allergen data right at the ingredient level. Our engine, DietaryAI, reads menus and recipes and pairs that with registered-dietitian verification, because with allergens, 90% correct is 100% wrong. That accuracy is what lets a parent, a celiac, or an anaphylaxis-risk guest order with confidence instead of fear.
The market is moving fast. California SB-68 takes effect July 1, 2026, with more states close behind, and compliance is driving real growth for us right now. We work with clients including Compass Group, Major League Baseball, Marriott, LAX Airport, Bartaco, Bluestone Lane, José Andrés Group, Sweetfin and Hungry Howie’s, covering 150+ allergens and dietary needs for 300,000+ consumers across the US and Australia.
We have been recognized by Forbes, Bloomberg, and Fast Company, which named us a top 10 most innovative company in our category, alongside DoorDash. Our founder lives with celiac disease, so this is personal. The mission is real, the market is huge, and the timing is now.

You will work directly with the CEO, COO, and sales team to run campaigns, sharpen our messaging, and put Foodini in front of the operators and guests who need us.
