How we grew it is.

Scaling Workplace Food Is Operationally Complex

Bella&Bona operates in a category where growth is deeply operational.

• We operate kitchens.
• We manage logistics networks.
• We serve thousands of meals every week.
• We integrate directly into real office environments.

In workplace food, growth doesn’t come from hype.
It comes from execution.

And execution only works when:

• HR teams trust you
• Finance teams approve you
• Employees actually use the service - every day
  

We Grew Because We Improved the Experience

In B2B, growth without retention is noise.
Retention happens when the system works - consistently.

If there is one reason Bella&Bona reached #51 in the FT1000, it is this:

"We continuously improved the experience for companies and employees."

For Companies: Operational Simplicity at Scale

HR and office teams don’t need more complexity. 
They need structure and reliability.

That’s why we built systems designed to remove operational friction:

• Centralised Admin Panel
  Full visibility and control over orders, budgets, and reporting.
• Dedicated Support Desk
  Fast resolution when something needs attention.
  
• 99% On-Time Delivery
  A reliable recurring team moment - every service day.
  
• Predictable, Tax-Efficient Cost Structure
  Transparent pricing that works for both Finance and HR.
  

For Employees: A Benefit Worth Showing Up For

A workplace benefit only works if employees actually use it.

That’s why we invested heavily in daily usability, not just logistics.

• Ordering via Web, Android & iOS
  Frictionless participation from anywhere.
• 25+ Weekly Rotating Dishes
  Variety without operational chaos.
• Clear Allergen & Nutrition Labelling
  Inclusive menus designed for diverse workplaces.
• 8/10+ Average Ratings
  Consistently strong employee satisfaction across offices.
  

See What This Week Looks Like

Workplace food is ultimately about the experience on the plate.

Recent menu highlights include:

• Butter Chicken with Basmati Rice
• Vegan Jackfruit Curry
• Mediterranean Falafel Bowl
• Grilled Chicken Caesar Wrap

Each week, our menu rotates across 25+ carefully designed dishes, ensuring variety while maintaining operational consistency.

Growth Is Retention at Scale

In workplace food, growth does not come from one-time contracts.

It comes from:

• Long-term partnerships
• High renewal rates
• Daily recurring usage
• Operational reliability

Our FT1000 ranking reflects compound growth built over time, supported by companies that continue to trust Bella&Bona every day.

Built in Berlin and Munich - Expanding Further

Bella&Bona currently operates in Berlin and Munich, serving companies that want structured, reliable workplace food solutions.

Our growth reflects a broader shift happening across Germany:

• Offices returning to structured in-person collaboration
• HR teams investing in meaningful benefits that bring teams together
• Finance teams seeking cost transparency and efficiency
• Companies looking for scalable, tax-efficient solutions

As we continue strengthening operations in Berlin and Munich, we are preparing to expand into additional German cities.

Expansion follows operational readiness - not ambition alone.
