A staff restaurant that fits your organisation

A staff restaurant is more than a place to have lunch. It is a daily moment of calm, connection and energy — and it is a business card for your organisation. Breinvoer is the partner that takes care of the entire staff restaurant: from concept and catering to daily experience and an eye for a healthy offering that employees naturally choose.

We work for businesses that want to outsource their staff restaurant to a partner with vision. One point of contact, one team in the kitchen, one coherent story that aligns with your workplace and brand.

Outsource your staff restaurant without hassle

When you have Breinvoer run your staff restaurant, you bring in a single, coherent catering concept. We handle everything that comes with operating a staff restaurant day to day: the kitchen, the procurement, the planning, the chefs at the stove and the guests at the table.

Your HR and facility team retains control where it really matters: people, culture and strategy. The operational side of a modern staff restaurant is in safe hands with us — without compromising on quality, experience or engagement.

How operating a staff restaurant unfolds

Operating a staff restaurant is a process that goes beyond opening the doors and serving meals. Our approach is built around five steps — from the first intake to daily operations and ongoing improvement:

  • On-site intake — kitchen, flow, audience, ambition
  • Concept design that fits your culture and way of working
  • Launch with a trained kitchen team cooking fresh every day
  • Daily operations including procurement, menu variety and dietary needs
  • Regular feedback and optimisation moments with your team

Every step comes with clear agreements, dedicated contacts and measurable results. No one-off quotes per moment — one catering partner with a long-term vision.

The catering concept

A modern staff restaurant runs on three lines

Our formula is built on three flavour profiles that together fill out the complete offering of a modern staff restaurant — healthy, powerful and with room for indulgence:

Breinvoer

Food for mental focus and stable energy throughout the workday.

Power food

Protein-rich dishes for teams that perform physically.

Indulgence food

Mindful treats for Friday afternoons and celebrations.

Frequently asked questions about a staff restaurant

Outsourcing a staff restaurant means a specialised partner takes care of the concept, the daily operations and the on-site experience. You keep control over what fits your organisation; we handle the kitchen, procurement, planning and team. That way your employees stay focused on their own work.
The cost of a staff restaurant depends on the number of employees, the number of catering days per week, the desired concept level and the available kitchen facilities. Every situation is different, so we do not work with standard rates. In a no-obligation conversation we explore together which model fits and what that means in concrete terms for you.
A staff restaurant of your own usually starts to pay off from around 50 employees on-site. For smaller teams, flexible corporate catering is often a more logical starting point — we can grow along as your headcount rises. We are happy to advise on which model suits your scale.
A modern staff restaurant is more than a lunch spot. It is a meeting space where meals are cooked fresh daily, with an open kitchen that adds experience, a varied offering that fuels vitality, and an eye for sustainability and seasonality. The healthy choice is the most attractive choice — not through rules, but through taste and presentation.
Corporate catering is a broader term for providing business meals — from a weekly lunch to meeting sandwiches and event catering. A staff restaurant is a permanent on-site restaurant set-up where meals are cooked and served daily. A staff restaurant is therefore always corporate catering, but corporate catering is not always a permanent staff restaurant.
Operating a staff restaurant with Breinvoer starts with an on-site intake. After that we design a concept together that fits your culture, facilities and team. We set up the kitchen, train the staff and take care of daily operations — including procurement, menu variety, dietary needs and feedback moments.
Breinvoer runs staff restaurants throughout the Netherlands, with a specific focus on the Rotterdam, The Hague and Leiden regions. On our local pages you can read which neighbourhoods we serve and what sets our approach apart per region. Outside these regions? Feel free to get in touch to explore the options.
The menu in our staff restaurants balances three lines: Breinvoer for mental focus, Power food for physical energy and Indulgence food for mindful indulgence. The offering varies daily with seasonal ingredients, plant-based options and honest proteins. Special dietary needs (vegetarian, lactose-/gluten-free, halal) are a standard part of the range.
