Silicon Valley employees can say goodbye to static delivery routes and standardized menus.

The hotbed of technology innovation has given birth to an Internet of Things (IoT) fresh food startup that allows employees to preview what's available in the break room  from their mobile device and authorize payment just by picking an item from the machine.

Byte Foods, a San Rafael, Calif.-based startup with around 45 employees, utilizes proprietary software, a touchscreen and an Internet-connected, glassfront refrigerator to make it easy for employees to have fresh meals, snacks and drinks every day. The demand planning software ensures the refrigerator is always stocked with menu items tailored specifically to the individual employees.

"This allows the business to have high quality fresh meals in the office 24/7 that's catered for their specific employees," said Lee Mokri, co-founder and vice president of sales and marketing. "Now you can't tell the difference between what's in the restaurant down the street and what's in the office."
