  Modern Recipe goes far beyond food service.  

  We help organizations strengthen workplace culture, boost employee well being and performance, and create spaces where people genuinely want to be.

With flexible dining formats, digital convenience, and at least 50% plant forward menus, we deliver a modern, frictionless experience that supports productivity and connection throughout the workday.
  Great workplace culture happens around the table, Modern Recipe creates dining experiences that bring out the best in your teams.

• What shapes your menu philosophy?

  Our menu philosophy is built around three pillars that matter to today’s workforce: health, flavor, and sustainability.
  We follow a plant forward, seasonal approach rooted in the EAT Lancet recommendations, ensuring meals are both good for people and good for the planet. Local chef ambassadors bring global inspiration and regional relevance, creating menus that feel fresh, modern, and aligned with your employees’ expectations.

• How does Modern Recipe support diverse dietary needs?

  Our food offer includes nutrient dense meals, global flavors, and a wide variety of plant forward dishes, alongside options that are low salt, low sugar, or tailored to specific dietary needs. With balanced meals available all day and customizable formats across restaurants, markets, cafés, and smart fridges, employees always find something that fits their lifestyle.

• How does Modern Recipe integrate sustainability into its food and hospitality?

  Sustainability is embedded in every part of our model, not added on.

  We prioritize seasonal, local sourcing, reduce food miles, and partner with diverse suppliers and small producers. Our kitchens follow low‑waste practices, and we use recyclable or reusable packaging as a priority. Data‑driven tools like WasteWatch and Leanpath help us actively reduce food waste across all sites.

• How does Modern Recipe partner with organizations to craft a dining experience that reflects their culture?

  We work hand in hand with workplace, HR, and facilities leaders to design dining experiences that reinforce your culture and support your people.
  Our workplace design experts create flexible, connection-focused spaces, while our hospitality training ensures every touchpoint feels warm, consistent, and aligned with your brand values. Menus are adapted to regional tastes, employee expectations, and organizational priorities, from sustainability goals to wellbeing strategies

• Which industries does Modern Recipe work with?

  Modern Recipe supports a wide range of organizations that prioritize employee well being, workplace culture, and modern corporate dining.
  We partner with companies across corporate real estate, pharmaceutical & life sciences, professional & financials services, FMCG, consulting firms, banking services, media and tech, serving environments where food plays a strategic role in retention, productivity, and employee satisfaction.

• What does “plant-forward” mean in the context of corporate dining?

  Plant-forward dining means that vegetables, grains, legumes, and plant-based proteins take center stage on the plate, without eliminating meat or dairy entirely. It’s an approach that gives employees more choice while reducing the environmental footprint of your dining program. At Modern Recipe, at least 50% of our menu options are plant-forward, aligned with the EAT-Lancet recommendations for planetary health. This approach supports your organization’s ESG and sustainability goals while delivering meals that taste delicious and satisfy diverse preferences.

• How does Modern Recipe support work-life balance for office workers?

  One of the overlooked barriers to work-life balance is the daily logistics of meals: what to eat, when to eat, how to eat well with a packed schedule - and Modern Recipe is designed to take that problem off your employees’ plate entirely. With all-day dining formats, grab-and-go options, and digital ordering, employees can eat well without leaving the workplace or sacrificing personal time. Our kitchenettes and cafés also provide genuine break spaces - places to step away from the screen, have a real conversation, and return to work feeling recharged.

• How do I get started with Modern Recipe for my workplace?

  Our team works with you to understand your workplace, your people, and your priorities - from the number of employees and dining formats to sustainability targets and budget. From there, we design a tailored Modern Recipe concept for your site, covering menus, space design, hospitality standards, and technology integration.
