**Foodies is a pretty awesome place to work - and here’s why**

We are based in amazing offices in Mangere (near the airport) with loads of free parking, pool table, a mini mart for those afternoon cravings and a café that makes great coffee (or smoothies). We are big on work life balance and as such have flexible working opportunities to allow you to get the most out of life. You get a day off to celebrate YOU on your birthday and we have loads of social events and tribes to join.

How amazing is all that?
