Healthy lunch at work

PURE FOOD. REAL CONNECTION.

Lunch at work is so much more than just a quick sandwich. It's the perfect opportunity to recharge your batteries, stay focused, and get together. Since 2016, CIRFOOD has been providing healthy lunches to organizations throughout the Netherlands. We now understand what it takes to perform well. A good lunch connects, inspires, and gives positive energy. That's what we stand for at CIRFOOD.

Together, we create a catering concept that fits your values and ambitions down to the last detail. From an early croissant to a late lasagna: we guarantee a great guest experience throughout the day. Healthy, nutritious, and so delicious that everyone will leave their sandwiches at home from now on.

Why invest in healthy lunches at work?

Healthy lunches at work have a positive impact on the entire organization. Scientific research has repeatedly proven that employees who eat healthy lunches are more energetic, perform better, and take fewer sick days.

Higher productivity
Healthy food provides essential fuel for a productive working day. Employees think more clearly, come up with more creative solutions, and function longer without energy dips.

Lower absenteeism.
Healthy food strengthens the immune system. Investing in healthy lunches at work pays for itself immediately through lower absenteeism costs.

Better collaboration
Enjoying a good lunch together improves the working atmosphere and team spirit, leading to deeper connections between people and departments.

Attractive employer
A high-quality, healthy lunch is a valuable secondary employment condition for attracting and retaining talent.

We've seen increased productivity and fewer afternoon slumps since CIRFOOD started providing our lunch.

The Mediterranean diet as our compass

The Mediterranean diet forms the basis of our nutritious lunches. It has been scientifically proven to be one of the healthiest diets in the world. No wonder UNESCO recognizes it as intangible cultural heritage. Good food also has a social function: sitting down together at the table is about enjoying, sharing, and connecting.

The chefs in our company restaurants prepare fresh lunches using pure, local ingredients. Expect a varied menu every day that follows the seasons and is bursting with flavor and nutrients. From fruity smoothies to fresh salads and from risotto to tiramisu.

Healthy lunch tailored to your organization

Every organization is unique. That's why we always develop a customized lunch concept. A menu, presentation, and atmosphere that perfectly match the needs of your people. Together, we turn “lunch at work” into a moment that every employee looks forward to.
