Essentials is CIRFOOD's unique (all) inclusive lunch concept that redefines corporate catering. It goes beyond food - connecting people, encouraging healthy choices and contributing to a more sustainable world. A menu full of varied, plant-based dishes and the occasional guilty pleasure, a fixed accessible price and a welcoming customized experience. Together we create an inspiring lunch culture that fits your organization's identity. Because when lunch moments get better, the entire workday gets better.
With Essentials, we are building a new lunch culture where people, health and sustainability are central. In June 2025, Essentials was awarded the prestigious “New Lunch Culture” Award - recognizing innovative catering concepts that manage to combine vitality, sustainability and hospitality and bring employees back together. This award confirms what we experience on a daily basis: Essentials really makes a difference
With Essentials, lunch becomes a moment that employees really look forward to. No canteen feeling, but an inspiring environment where colleagues meet, relax and feel appreciated. Our CIRFOODIES provide personal service and create a feeling of welcome - every single day.
Essentials is not a standard lunch concept, but is always customized for your organization.
Essentials is more than a lunch concept. It is an innovative approach that brings healthy food, wellness, inclusiveness and sustainability together in your company restaurant - tailored to your organization, employees and rhythms.
