PROVIDENCE – A second downtown office tower has partnered with Fooda, the online-based restaurant program that brings a different restaurant to the workplace each day.
The skyscraper at 100 Westminster St., the headquarters of Paolino Properties, introduced the popup food concept on Wednesday. It joins One Financial Plaza, which welcomed the business in April.
Fooda provides an onsite lunch within a given window at each building, with a different rotation of restaurants providing specific, site-based menus. The tenants of the buildings, as well as the general public, can participate. And Fooda allows its patrons to receive menus emailed in advance.
For example, on Wednesday, the Red Eyed Pig, of West Roxbury, Mass., which features Carolina-style barbecue, was the featured restaurant at One Financial Plaza, with a menu offered between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
At 100 Westminster, a 20-story building where tenants include Bank of America and Webster Bank, the Fooda popup will occupy a dedicated space in the ground floor lobby on weekdays, from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
On its startup day, the building featured takeout options from SA PA Modern Vietnamese, a restaurant based in Boston.
Joseph R. Paolino Jr., the managing partner of Paolino Properties, described the food service as another amenity for tenants.
Initiated in Chicago, Fooda has expanded operations to Boston, New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Nashville, Tenn., before partnering with building owners in Providence.
