About Sifted

Sifted was founded in 2015 by Kimberly Lexow and Jess Legge with a bold vision - to reimagine office food as an experience rooted in hospitality, sustainability, and intentionality .

What began as a modern take on workplace meals quickly evolved into a nationwide food platform that supports culture, community, and carbon-conscious choices across hundreds of companies.

At Sifted, people stay, grow, and thrive - our team members remain with us three times longer than the industry average.

We offer flexibility, generous perks, and room to grow - hiring builders, operators, creatives, and craftspeople who care about making work (and workplaces) better.

At Sifted, our team culture mirrors the experiences we design for our clients:

• Creative Freedom: Everyone contributes ideas and shapes the future of our service.
• Hospitality-Driven: No matter your role, you're in service to someone - and that matters.
• Career Growth: We invest in internal mobility, mentorship, and hands-on learning.
• People First: We support flexible work, celebrate wins, and lead with empathy.
• Real Impact: Every day, your work reduces waste, improves lives, and connects people through food.
