Gemeinschaftsverpflegung

Institutional catering encompasses the provision of meals in facilities such as canteens, university refectories, schools and for the catering of armed forces. One of the greatest challenges is offering variety and diversity in the menus in order to ensure acceptance among diners. Depending on requirements and resources, different catering systems are used: Cook & Serve, Cook & Chill, Cook & Freeze and Cook & Hold.

Importance in various facilities

Institutional catering supplies groups with meals and also includes social catering as well as provision at large events. The range of services includes comprehensive support with menu planning, the provision of various types of coffee and tea along with accessories, and support in introducing or increasing the proportion of organic foods. In doing so, egora offers numerous advantages:

• Bespoke menu suggestions within three hours
• Access to more than 100 carefully curated top caterers in Berlin
• A lowest-price guarantee with no hidden surcharges or service fees
• Round-the-clock availability

Sustainable practices

Sustainability is becoming increasingly important. Facilities place greater emphasis on seasonal and regional ingredients in order to minimise environmental impact. Environmentally friendly delivery methods such as reusable packaging and a low-emission vehicle fleet further reduce the ecological footprint. A commitment to ecological and socially responsible practices is reflected in the use of Fairtrade products and organic certifications.

Healthy eating and quality assurance

A healthy, varied diet contributes significantly to concentration and wellbeing. A particular focus lies on dishes reduced in salt, sugar and fat. Active collaboration with nutritionists ensures a balanced diet, while training for educational staff and childminders expands nutritional knowledge. Facilities are additionally supported by the National Quality Centre for Nutrition.

Versatile catering services

The offering ranges from social catering to provision at large events and is aimed at diverse target groups such as children, working people and seniors – as well as fine dining. Complete coffee concepts for office and hospitality round off the offering and help to improve productivity and the working environment.
