How Goetze makes everyday work more efficient with the help of Foodji

"Our commitment is to the satisfaction of our customers at all times. To achieve this, we focus on quality and fast deliveries. Our focus is on application-oriented and future-proof solutions based on proven expertise and sustainable corporate management."
Fast and flexible supply around the clock - even in production
Previously, Goetze employees had the option of eating at neighboring external companies, which involved longer walking distances. This posed a particular time challenge for employees in production with short break times.
Goetze's goals:
- The management aims to ensure that Goetze employees have access to high-quality catering on a daily basis
- Practical solution with minimal time expenditure for employees and short walking distances
- Concept with low time expenditure for infrastructure desired.
The lack of internal catering had the following disadvantages: Use of the canteen by external companies, employees working in shifts were not catered for due to the opening hours of a canteen and time-consuming with short break times
Foodji: Reliable, time-saving in-house catering
Goetze found what he was looking for in his search for fresh in-house catering:
- Canteen visits to external companies were largely replaced by Foodji
- At the site, 70 employees regularly help themselves to the Foodji
- No need to prepare meals the evening before or go to the bakery during the break
- Goetze subsidizes its employees and thus creates tangible added value for the workforce on a daily basis
Thanks to Foodji, Goetze was able to introduce a practical solution - without the need for personnel or infrastructure - and save time while maintaining high quality.

Thanks to Foodji, Goetze was able to offer all employees access to fresh, high-quality meals around the clock - regardless of their shift or workplace.
