Considering in-house catering for your company? Here’s all you need to know

Whether in warehouses, factories, or distribution centres, business and industry catering helps busy teams stay fuelled for efficiency. From keeping the vending machines filled with delicious snacks to delivering moreish meals at the on-site canteen, industry catering service providers like Eurest make it all possible.

While private catering offers small-batch, bespoke meals and event catering brings larger menus to life at functions, industry catering goes beyond individual events to provide day-to-day food to millions of people in workplaces across various sectors. It’s a widespread, daily form of catering that helps businesses feed their people efficiently.

Is it right for you?

Whether you’re a small to medium-sized business or a large enterprise, different forms of catering can be useful at different times. From catering for a business event to feeding employees during a team day, there’s a form of catering out there that will meet your needs.

When it comes to business and industry catering, larger sectors, such as manufacturing, corporate offices, or healthcare facilities, can benefit most due to their need to feed large numbers of employees on site. Industry catering can also support the often physical nature of these roles with hearty, protein-packed options to keep workers fuelled throughout the day. 

At Eurest, our catering services are designed with the needs of warehouses, distribution centres, and other large-scale operators in mind. From managing an on-site restaurant to convenient hot lockers and micromarkets, we deliver our delicious, nutritious food in the most efficient ways to those who need it.

How can in-house catering benefit your company?

Healthy, great-tasting food can enhance productivity and morale at work, as employees are provided with nutritious meal options that they enjoy. According to Eurest’s Global Eating at Work Survey, 66% of employees believe that what they eat at work directly impacts their overall productivity.

In-house catering is a cost-effective food solution that can be tailored to meet budget requirements. With a provider like Eurest, it can also help you meet corporate sustainability goals, as our food is not only nutritious but planet-friendly too. 

How catering benefits employees

Recent research from Compass UK & Ireland and Mintel found that the UK lunch break now averages just 33 minutes, with nearly half of workers eating alone. Additionally, the Institute for Public Policy Research recently suggested that employers should be fined if they don’t provide nutritious food for their employees.

When healthy food is available at an on-site facility where colleagues can eat together and enjoy social time to recharge, it can greatly benefit mental and physical health. At Eurest, we provide balanced, diverse menu offerings that benefit employees’ health and well-being, leading to greater productivity and job satisfaction.
