Fitlife Foods Launches Corporate Meal Solutions

Weekly office meal deliveries as a ground-breaking employee perk in the Tampa Bay area.

Fitlife Foods, the Southeast’s leading omni-channel prepared meals brand, announces the official launch of Corporate Meal Solutions as a new employee perk in Tampa Bay.

Corporate Meal Solutions integrates weekly meals as a healthy, nutritious, and delicious benefit into workplaces, to support the broader impact on talent recruitment, engagement, and retention. Beyond just providing meals to companies, Fitlife’s Corporate Meal Solution program focuses on the transformation of a workplace by providing a daily wellness benefit where it can make the greatest impact, nutrition for physical & mental health.
“Prior to COVID, we offered discounted Fitlife Foods meals to our staff. Upon our return to the office, we provided free Fitlife meals as part of our commitment to employee wellness,” said Tampa Bay Rays President Matt Silverman. “The feedback from our staff about our partnership with Fitlife Foods has been overwhelmingly positive.”

"With our Corporate Meals Solution program, we empower a staff to save time, eat healthier and avoid energy crashes. This allows companies to do more than just talk about employee wellness, but demonstrate it by investing in it each day,” said David Osterweil, Fitlife Foods Founder & CEO.
Companies who have teams with the right nutrition according to Osterweil, are “motivated and focused with added energy and time in their lives to maximize their journey at work and at home.”

The Patel Family Office acquired Fitlife Foods in 2023 and working with Osterweil, immediately began making Corporate Wellness an area of focus. "We created Corporate Meal Solutions because of the unprecedented shift in workplaces to support employees’ health and wellbeing. This new workforce is looking beyond the standard benefits of healthcare and 401K,” said Patel Family Office Investor and Fitlife Board Chairman Shilen Patel. “It takes a holistic, supportive approach to their well-being to attract and retain top-tier talent in 2024. Fitlife meals are a concrete demonstration of protecting employees' wellness, time, and budget.”

As the driving force behind Corporate Meal Solutions, Hanan is on a mission to transform the region into one of the country’s healthiest and most productive workforces.
