Who we are:

Crafty's mission is to help companies craft better workplaces by providing the services and technology to deliver a modern, comprehensive Food & Beverage program for their employees, no matter where they work.

At Crafty, we have a diverse, high-powered team, comprised of folks in technology, supply chain operations, field operations, sales, account management, and more. Our workplace is dynamic, fast-paced, and just plain fun; we pride ourselves in having an amazing mix of humans who make up our team!
