About byFood:
ByFood.com is Japan’s rapidly expanding one-stop platform for foodie travelers. We are seeking new team members excited to be a part of growing our international company. ByFood won the 3rd UNWTO Gastronomy Tourism Startup Competition and other prestigious awards in recognition of our unique approach to accessible and sustainable tourism.
On byFood, users can book food experiences through our site, like cooking classes and food tours, and make easy restaurant reservations without using Japanese. We aim to connect with travelers through every part of their experience, from the early planning stages to the trip itself, and maintain a connection long after they have returned home.
In addition, for every experience booking or restaurant reservation placed on the platform, byFood donates school meals to children in need through the Food for Happiness program. So far, over 560K donations have been made through this initiative.
