Food Concession Manager, Natoora - Eataly

About Natoora

We are a fast-growing company with a clear mission: to revolutionise the food system. With hubs in London, Paris, Milan, Barcelona, New York and Los Angeles we’re creating access to consciously-produced and grown food at a scale unparalleled by anyone else in the industry. Since 2004, we have been building a unique supply chain that connects chefs and home cooks alike to an ever-growing community of independent growers, farmers and producers.

Education of the consumer is at the core of our mission, with flavour the key to unlocking that knowledge. Once tasted, we can encourage home cooks to eat a wider variety of fruit & vegetables, and help them to understand the positive influence they can have over the food system as a whole.
