Book employee meals

It is well known how important good, balanced food is for health and what a significant impact meals have on performance. Support your team in eating healthily and refueling for the afternoon with lunch, or powering up for the workday with breakfast. By providing delicious meals that employees can enjoy for free, you show that you care about their well-being. In times when many companies struggle to find or retain talent, such benefits are particularly important. They boost motivation and strengthen the sense of belonging to the company.

Providing company meals doesn't necessarily mean lunch in a canteen. There are many different ways to offer employee meals. A regular team breakfast, featuring freshly brewed coffee, warm bread rolls, various cold cuts, cheese, vegan spreads, jam, and chocolate spreads. Perhaps even healthy porridge, smoothies, and plenty of fruit to provide vitamins and energy. A shared brunch with a buffet where everyone can help themselves to whatever their heart desires. A team lunch, with a versatile range of lunch options that provide a delicious choice for every dietary preference and intolerance. An extended coffee break with fresh pastries, or ice cream and other frozen desserts in the summer.

Employee meals are particularly effective when planned as a regular event or even as a daily healthy lunch offering. If your company doesn't have a canteen and you don't want to issue meal vouchers or take the team out to a restaurant regularly, you can simply order meals directly to the office. Our caterers offer many different types of catering—from breakfast buffets and lunch catering to fine dining for the evening, for example, to celebrate a milestone. A food truck that pulls up on company premises to serve freshly prepared street food is also a great change of pace. Just send us a request, and we will find the right caterers for your employee meals!

Did you know that meal subsidies can offer tax advantages as "tax-free non-cash benefits" up to a certain amount? (You can find the current non-cash benefit values for meals here.) So, offering free company meals is not just a welcome employee benefit; the company benefits from it as well.

Plan your employee meals with heykantine!

Employee meals can be customized and flexible with the mobile canteen, heykantine! Whether it's a team breakfast, finger food for meetings, a business lunch, or daily catering—feel free to get in touch so we can advise you personally and you can save time with everything organized centrally.

Why not plan your next employee meal now and surprise your team with delicious, healthy meals "on the house"? It’s a good idea to check in advance about any allergies, intolerances, or dietary preferences within the team, and to plan based on who is in the office and when. Especially with hybrid work models, where not everyone is in the office every day, team catering needs to be well-planned so that no one feels left out or disadvantaged. And employees working from home don't have to miss out either: simply send them a catering package directly to their door, or for those who love to cook, a meal kit that allows them to prepare a healthy, delicious meal in no time. Again, it's best to check beforehand if this is welcome and fits into their working hours, as meal kits do require time to prepare.

We hope we’ve inspired you to surprise your employees with a delicious company meal. If you have any questions, we are happy to help and discuss the various options for one-off or regular employee meals with you. Feel free to reach out!
