Sifted
About Sifted
Jess Legge and Kimberly Lexow were masters of the 9 to 5 – working at a high‑growth tech start‑up with one question: “Could the work lunch be better?”
It’s an expectation these days that work is hard and fast. But lunch doesn’t have to be that way. Imagining an office where employees want to stick around and share a table of inspired food, Legge and Lexow founded Sifted in 2015.
Since then we’ve delivered millions of meals to Fortune 500s and high‑growth startups across the US. When COVID‑19 hit, our clients needed a partner to help them manage their new normal. That’s when we created our virtual team‑building experiences. Now as companies fully embrace the future of a flexible workplace, Sifted has become a comprehensive employee experience partner offering both in‑office catering services and an extensive portfolio of engaging virtual experiences for distributed teams.
We use 7 core truths as the framework of our employee engagement programs and team culture:
Good food is powerful
Simple food is the best food
We support regular people with big ideas
We make mistakes and evolve
We appreciate people’s differences
We seek, listen and implement feedback quickly + enthusiastically
We are our clients’ biggest fans
