Employee catering is a key factor in meeting all these needs. The availability of fresh food in the company signals appreciation for employees and contributes to employee retention. High employee satisfaction leads to lower staff turnover and a better working atmosphere.
Providing staff catering via a food truck or Foodji offers numerous advantages that can have a positive impact on companies, culture and employee well-being. Not every company has the human resources and space required for a traditional food truck.
That is why we would like to introduce Foodji as a cost-effective and space-saving alternative that every company can afford, offers the same high quality and is open 24/7 without the need for staff. Internal catering contributes to increased employee satisfaction, as it offers employees a pleasant and social environment in which they can exchange ideas and relax. This promotes interaction, which improves the sense of community and the working atmosphere and strengthens employee loyalty.
In an era characterised by constant change and disruptive innovations, even traditional business practices are subject to critical scrutiny regarding their relevance and effectiveness.
This applies in particular to the way in which employees are catered for. While food trucks have long been considered a cool alternative to traditional canteens for satisfying hunger in the workplace, the increasing dynamism of modern working life and changing employee expectations raise the question: is catering by food truck still appropriate?
Compared to innovative and sustainable catering approaches such as Foodji, food trucks no longer seem to meet the demands of the modern working world.
Foodji's employee catering service promotes a balanced diet with fresh and healthy options, thereby boosting the team's concentration, productivity and long-term health. To this end, it is also a popular health management tool.
The Foodji is filled with fresh, delicious food 2-3 times a week. We attach great importance to the freshness and quality of our ingredients and products and want all employees to have access to healthy food at work. A food truck can certainly offer exciting catering, but the street food concept is more suitable for events due to the limited selection and preparation options.
The dishes are usually consumed outdoors, making them the ideal and delicious catering solution for outdoor events.
Many larger employers use Foodji to supplement their existing catering services. This is a decisive advantage, especially for companies with extended break times (e.g. night shifts), as it allows them to meet demand beyond the lunch break. With Foodji, opening hours can be easily extended at a moderate cost. This applies in particular to production and logistics companies or hospitals. But offices with flexible working models also benefit from this. Branches or companies with a large campus are also popular use cases for Foodji as a supplement to canteens. This means that all employees, regardless of their location or campus, can benefit from communal catering.
In addition to freshness, variety is also important to us: we stock Foodji with a wide range of main courses from a variety of cuisines, including Italian, Greek, German, Asian and many more. We also place great importance on ensuring that vegetarians and vegans can find something to suit their tastes. Have you tried our nine dean&david salads yet? They're amazing! For those feeling peckish, we offer a wide selection of snacks such as wraps and sandwiches. Here you will find a small selection of our diverse range. Street food from a snack van/food truck is more suitable for outdoor events. However, if the concept is tailored to companies, a street food solution can also be an interesting option for employee catering. You should, however, make sure you are well informed in advance.
Not every employee has the opportunity to take part in the traditional Monday to Friday lunch break. People who work shifts or weekends in particular do not have access to this. A catering solution that is only open at lunchtime from Monday to Friday therefore does not reach them. Even a snack van outside has limited opening hours. With a catering service that is open around the clock or at least has extended opening hours, everyone can be catered for. The purpose: this communicates appreciation and promotes health and satisfaction. Especially during night shifts, it is important for the body to eat healthily and prevent cravings. This can be promoted by the employer through a balanced menu and varied cuisine.
Yes. As with a traditional canteen, employers can subsidise daily meals (main courses, breakfast until 11 a.m., snacks, drinks) at Foodji tax-free. Foodji's intelligent system ensures that all tax regulations, such as the value of benefits in kind, are complied with without any effort. In addition, it is possible that external persons may have access to Foodji at your location (e.g. visitors or employees of other companies). In this case, it is ensured that only employees have access to the subsidy. The subsidy can be adapted for a wide range of applications. The meal subsidy is a highly valued benefit that entices employees out of their homes and back to the office.
