Headquartered in Wrocław, Poland, SmartLunch is a lunchtime lifesaver for employees, assisting large companies to efficiently organize and co-finance meals for their workforce. Established in 2014, the company now collaborates with an impressive 482 businesses, delivering lunches to approximately 65,000 workers in Poland.

What differentiates SmartLunch from other meal delivery platforms is their specialized focus on blue-collar factories and workplaces. They understand the intricate dynamics of this niche and tirelessly work to meet the unique requirements of their clientele. The company also aids restaurants in setting up their menu, providing necessary statistics to determine popular dishes and eliminate less favored ones. This granular approach enables an exceptionally personalized and efficient employee food provision system.
Moreover, SmartLunch bridges the gap between employees’ need for nutritional, convenient meals and employers’ desire for a cost-effective yet high-performing meal benefits program. It encourages a habit of eating daily in the workplace, an incredible leap from the average 3 out 21 to an astounding 15 out of 21 working days in a month.
