We are a foodtech company on a mission to diversify the food industry. We find chefs from cuisines that are not found in the mainstream and provide them with all resources to share their amazing food and stories with the world. We want to disrupt the food & beverage industry's tendency to favour the big brands and provide equitable opportunities for solo entrepreneurs and small business.

These products can be purchased through our vending machines in offices, retail stores like Tempo or even via delivery apps like Foodora and Wolt.

We are a small team of 3 and our vision is to spearhead the dark kitchen movement globally and we will do it with independent food businesses and homechefs instead of established brands.

At Nixa.io, we are on a global mission to change both *how* and *where* companies recruit technical talent. In fact, we want to flip the whole traditional model of recruitment.
