A key factor in meeting all of these employee needs is employee catering. The availability of fresh food in the company signals appreciation towards employees and contributes to employee loyalty. A high level of employee satisfaction leads to lower staff turnover and a better working atmosphere. Find out here how the Foodji food vending machine ensures greater satisfaction in the workplace.
Even if a supermarket has a large selection of different products, many of them are not suitable for a healthy and fresh lunch break. The customer has to rely on a fresh food counter or frozen food, which usually still has to be prepared. On top of this, there is a walk that makes it impossible to enjoy the break to the full. Those who work in shifts are faced with closed doors from 10 p.m. at the latest.
Foodji offers a 24/7 freshness concept with numerous meals and snacks directly at the workplace. This means you can spend your break together with your colleagues and make the most of your recovery time.
The Foodji food vending machine is a healthy and flexible employee catering solution for companies. Employees can reserve their favorite dishes 6 hours in advance via app and screen and - if offered by the company - redeem the subsidy. Subsidized meals are one of the most popular employee benefits. It is not only employees in a 9-5 job who benefit, as they can use their lunch break more efficiently, but also shift workers. The Foodji is available around the clock and provides companies with 30 or more employees with +300 fresh main meals, snacks and drinks.
Many companies pay attention to health and sustainability when it comes to workplace nutrition. To this end, these restaurants often cook healthy dishes such as salads or more vegetarian dishes or less meat in addition to the classic currywurst. The gastronomic offer is also rounded off by the provider with a selection of delicious food and drinks. After all, access to the right food at the lunch table (by this we don't just mean classic lunch, but your meal at work, no matter what time) promotes concentrated and productive work. For this reason, the company cafeteria, and with it the choice of the right cafeteria meal, is a popular health management tool.
Many larger employers use Foodji to supplement their existing catering. Especially for companies with extended break times (e.g. night shift), this is a decisive advantage to cover the demand beyond the lunch break. With Foodji, opening hours can be extended in an uncomplicated way at moderate costs. This applies above all to producton and logistics companies or hospitals. But also offices with flexible working models also benefit. Branch offices or companies with a large campus are also popular use cases for a foodji as a canteen supplement. This way, all employees - regardless of location/campus - can be reached with the benefit of community catering.
The foodji is freshly filled several times a week on specified days. The menu changes with each filling. The purpose of this is to ensure that the menu is tailored to your team. If your team often orders salads, meat or vegetarian meals, more salads, meat dishes or vegetarian meals will be offered. The food at Foodji tastes as fresh as you know it from a usual company restaurant. Due to the variety, it is possible to order a different main dish at Foodji every day for up to eight weeks. For every taste there is a varied, delicious lunch at the canteen or breakfast. What is your favorite canteen food?
Not every employee has the opportunity to take part in the classic Monday to Friday lunch. Especially people who work in shifts or on weekends do not have access to it. A cafeteria that is only open for lunch from Monday to Friday does not reach them. With a cafeteria 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. After all, especially on the night shift, it's important for the body to eat healthy and prevent cravings. This can be promoted by the employer through a balanced menu and varied cuisine.
Yes. As with a classic canteen, the employer can subsidize the daily meal (main dishes, breakfast until 11 a.m., snacks, drinks) at the Foodji tax-free. Thanks to the intelligent system of the Foodji it can be ensured without effort that all tax conditions such as the non-cash benefit value are complied with. In addition, it may be that external persons have access to the 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 allowance. The grant can be customized for a variety of use cases.
