Sifted, LLC
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.
We’re
not a caterer
— we’re a
workplace food partner .
Our team is our secret sauce — a mix of
hospitality pros, culinary experts, technologists, and innovators
redefining what it means to build
meaningful, stable, and opportunity-filled careers in hospitality.
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.
If you’re passionate about great food, great people, and great purpose —
we’d love to meet you.
