Bella&Bona Named to the FoodTech 500 - For the Sixth Year Running

Bella&Bona has been named to the FoodTech 500 - the world's definitive ranking of AgriFoodTech companies, published by Forward Fooding - for the sixth consecutive year.

Six years. Every edition. Since 2020.

Being on a list is not the story.

Why we keep being on it is.

What is the FoodTech 500?

Forward Fooding is an independent global intelligence platform that tracks the AgriFoodTech ecosystem - startups, investors, and corporates working at the intersection of food, technology, and sustainability. Think of it as the research layer that food industry executives and investors use to understand where the sector is heading.

Their flagship ranking, the FoodTech 500, is often called the Fortune 500 of food and technology. 500 companies are selected each year from over 11,700 applications across more than 180 countries.

It is not a pay-to-play directory. It is not a reader poll. Companies are evaluated on three dimensions:

• Business size (54.17) - Revenue, headcount, funding stage, and growth trajectory
• Digital footprint (50.57) - Online presence, brand reach, and market visibility
• Sustainability (24.00) - Environmental practices, reusability, responsible operations

Bella&Bona's total score in the 2025 edition: 128.74 - ranked #396 globally out of companies spanning 95+ countries, including publicly traded firms.

Six years on the list. What it actually means.

Most companies make a ranking once. When a campaign lands. When a funding round closes. When a press cycle hits.

Appearing every single year is a different thing entirely.

2020 · 2021 · 2022 · 2023 · 2024 · 2025

That streak started in 2020 - when most of the world was rethinking what offices were even for. We kept showing up through the remote-work era, the return-to-office debate, and the ongoing reinvention of how companies bring teams together.

The recognition reflects what happened inside Bella&Bona during those years:

• Scaling from one city to two without compromising delivery reliability
• Passing 2M+ dishes delivered across Berlin and Munich
• Maintaining 99% on-time delivery as order volume grew
• Building a reusable container system that eliminated single-use packaging
• Reaching 8/10+ average employee satisfaction across 50,000+ reviews
• Growing to 200+ companies served - from scale-ups to global brands

"Being named to the FoodTech 500 for the sixth year running is a reflection of the team that builds this every day - the people in the kitchens, on the road, and behind the screens making sure lunch just works. Recognitions like this remind us why we started and push us to keep raising the bar."

Why office food belongs on a FoodTech list

When people hear FoodTech, they often picture lab-grown proteins or vertical farms.

The FoodTech 500 takes a broader view - and a more honest one.

Any company using technology and operational design to improve how food reaches people qualifies. Bella&Bona fits that definition precisely.

We are not a caterer. We are food infrastructure - built for how modern companies actually operate:

• Digital ordering with per-employee preference tracking
• Automated Slack reminders so participation is frictionless
• CO₂ reporting per meal, per employee, per month
• A reusable container system with zero single-use packaging
• 25+ rotating weekly dishes - variety without operational chaos
  

Built for every decision-maker in your organisation

Choosing a workplace food partner involves more than one person.

The Office Manager needs it to be simple and reliable. HR needs it to be a benefit employees actually use. Finance needs the costs to be transparent and predictable. Procurement needs the vendor to be accountable.

Bella&Bona is built for all of them.

• Reliability - 99% on-time delivery rate, tracked and reported
• Cost transparency - fixed per-meal pricing, no hidden fees, clear monthly invoicing
• Dietary compliance - allergen labelling, dietary preference tracking per employee, inclusive menus designed for diverse workplaces
• Sustainability reporting - CO₂ reporting per meal, per employee, per month - ready for ESG obligations
• Admin control - a dedicated backend panel giving full visibility over orders, budgets, and usage across your entire team
• Support - a dedicated support desk that resolves issues fast

No procurement surprises. No operational chaos. Just lunch that works - every day.

What comes next

Six years on the FoodTech 500 is a meaningful milestone.

It is not the destination.

• Deepen operational excellence in Berlin and Munich
• Expand responsibly into new German cities
• Keep improving the daily experience for employees and office teams
• Become the reference brand for workplace food in Germany

Thank you to Forward Fooding for the recognition - and to every company, Office Manager, and HR team that chose Bella&Bona. You are the reason this streak exists.
