The blind spot

Everyone talks about what employees eat. Nobody about what happens afterwards.

The afternoon slump

After pizza, pasta or kebab, concentration collapses. 2 to 3 hours of productivity are lost every single day.

€87.50 given away per day

Productivity loss per employee and working day. Meetings after 2 pm achieve nothing.

Benefits that fizzle out

Meal allowances end up on pizza and burgers. Salary raises cost ~48 % more than necessary.

Imagine this

Your employees eat a fresh, healthy meal at work every day. It costs you less than a salary raise, is tax-deductible, and the afternoon slump is history. Afternoons are productive. Your team enjoys coming to the office. And you have to organise exactly nothing.

The freshness secret

Why from the vacuum pouch?

Every dish is freshly cooked and immediately vacuum-sealed, each portion individually. This is no ordinary plastic but a food-grade pouch made specifically for the water bath. Four tangible advantages:

  • Fresh for a week, entirely without additives. Without air, nothing spoils. No freezing, no preservatives needed.
  • Gentler than pot & microwave. Warmed gently inside the pouch so nothing overheats. Nutrients, texture and aromas are preserved. Peer review Baldwin 2012 ↗
  • Food-grade & certified. BPA- and plasticiser-free, approved for direct food contact under EU Regulation 10/2011 on food contact materials.
  • Clean & safe. Every portion is individually sealed and labelled. Hygienic, no washing up and no kitchen smell in the office.
Professional kitchens call it “sous-vide”. We simply say: fresh in the pouch.
