“Sustainability is a fundamental part of our DNA and plays an important role in every decision we make.”
In all our operational areas, we focus on sustainable implementation and continuous optimisation of our processes. Sustainability is the basis of everything we do. Above all, the UN Sustainable Development Goals are present at Foodji and are an integral part of our sustainability agenda.
Our supply chainOf this, 17% is in out-of-home catering and 59% in private households. In company catering, at least 30% of products are regularly thrown away.
95% of our guests use the Foodji app. This allows us to understand the demand behaviour and preferences of each individual Foodji location. Machine learning and algorithms help us to use this data to plan a tailor-made product range for each location and to continuously optimise it: intelligent quantity planning allows us to avoid overstocking.
We work with voluntary organisations to distribute leftover meals – donating rather than wasting.
Nachhaltiger Konsum und nachhaltige Produktion sind bei Foodji eng mit innovativer Technologie verknüpft - als Basis für einen verbesserten Umgang mit Ressourcen.
Without cooperation with sustainable and regional partners, companies risk not only ecological but also social consequences. Not forming local partnerships leads to longer transport routes, increased CO2 emissions and greater environmental impact. In addition, support for regional economies is lost, which can affect the diversity and resilience of communities.
With BettaF!sh as our partner, we can offer our guests delicious tuna alternatives and expand our plant-based range, which is good for us and the oceans.
Planted manufactures plant-based meat substitutes. Thanks to this collaboration, we have been able to expand our range with many fresh and delicious vegan dishes such as Planted Butter Chicken.
Lemonaid's fresh organic lemonades support fair trade and promote local projects with every bottle sold. Lemonaid has been awarded Fairtrade certification for this.
We carefully select our partners and promote vegetarian and vegan alternatives in our product portfolio.
Mehrwegsysteme gehen mit einem hohen Aufwand für Logistik und Reinigung der Behältnisse einher und sind vor allem dort sinnvoll, wo große Mengen an Mehrwegbehältern zusammen transportiert, gereinigt und ins System zurückgeführt werden können. Mindestens 8 mal muss ein Mehrwegbehälter genutzt werden, damit es sich lohnt.
We are continuously expanding our measures to optimise our contribution to sustainability, but so far we see the most positive results in our current packaging approach. Nevertheless, we will continue to evaluate our options for offering reusable packaging.
At Foodji, sustainable consumption and production are closely linked to innovative technology – as the basis for improved resource management.
Many restaurants are forced to use several intermediaries or delivery services. This creates a complex supply chain with long transport distances.
Our factories produce exclusively in Germany, always in the locations where most of the resources are grown. This enables us to achieve our goal of sourcing as many ingredients as possible from the region.
Within a hub, the distance between individual locations is approximately 9 km. This distance will continue to decrease as the number of Foodjis steadily grows.
At Foodji, an optimised supply chain and sustainable production are closely linked to innovative technology – we want to build a sustainable infrastructure.
Of this, 17% is in out-of-home catering and 59% in private households.* In company catering, at least 30% of products are regularly thrown away.
We regularly fill a food-sharing refrigerator in the Heinrich Böll Library in the Mühlenkiez neighbourhood of Berlin with surplus food. This allows us to provide free, high-quality meals for all visitors to the library. In doing so, we are supporting a social and ecological pilot project run by the Berlin Consumer Advice Centre.
We work with Foodsharing throughout Germany to distribute surplus food at our locations in Germany and thus prevent food waste.
Through our donations, we provide healthy, fresh food for everyone.
As a young company, we have already achieved a great deal on our journey so far – and our sustainability agenda for 2024 is just as ambitious:
Reducing food waste thanks to automated solutions
These enable companies to offer fresh meals...
Staff catering: AI reduces waste
Approximately 17% of food waste in Germany is generated in the out-of-home catering sector...
Smart employee catering for break times
Awareness of the consequences of food waste is growing...
Our experience from over 500 implementations shows that decision makers are the most concerned with these questions. Here you can find well-founded answers to the most important aspects of a Foodji implementation.

For us, regionality is more than just a buzzword – through close cooperation with partners, we create real added value:
We also pay close attention to environmental compatibility and resource conservation when it comes to packaging:
Climate protection is firmly anchored in our concept – we significantly reduce our carbon footprint through smart logistics and plant-based alternatives:
We think about sustainability in the long term – and are constantly developing our strategy further:
