The canteen solution that doesn't lock you in, but lifts you up

If your current canteen agreement feels like a mobile phone contract from 2007... then this is for you.

A Problem with traditional canteens? They assume that your needs will never change.

3-5 year commitment. No variation. No transparency. And no way out.

The future is flexible and dynamic. That is why we have teamed up with noon, Madværk and Madklubben to develop a unique canteen solution for companies that want to break away from traditional frameworks.

The solution

A canteen agreement that can be adapted to everyday life

(not the other way around)

Flexibility like no other

Change kitchen operator at any time with one month's notice + three months. Not because you are dissatisfied, but because needs change.

  • New employee profile?

  • New focus on ecology?

  • More grab'n'go?

  • Or just a desire for renewal?

Three of the country's absolute best kitchens, in one place

You don't get ‘just any kitchen’. You get Madværk, Madklubben and noon, three profiles that can do it all, from modern buffets to organic focus and social dining vibes.

And yes: you can switch between them. Freely.

Madklubben

Everyone knows Madklubben, and with good reason. Every day, their restaurants serve hundreds of delicious meals. With Madklubben as your canteen, you get the same restaurant atmosphere, the same quality and the same taste, just at your workplace, every single day.

noon

noon has taken the lunch market by storm, and it's no surprise. With menus developed by Michelin chefs, noon delivers innovation, flavour and restaurant-quality food that makes lunch the highlight of the day. It's fine dining without the fine dining prices, right in the middle of the office.

Madværk

A true Officeguru favourite. Madværk masters the craft: ingredients, ecology and taste that strike right at the heart. Their popularity on the Officeguru platform says it all – this is a crowd favourite. A safe choice for offices that care about quality and organic food and want to treat both meat-eaters and the office vegetarians.

The cost-plus model: When transparency really matters

No hidden fees. No mysterious menu prices. No profit optimisation (read: hidden supplier kickback agreements).

The cost-plus model benefits employees, e.g. when an employee buys breakfast or sourdough to take home for buns at the weekend, they pay the cost price + a small percentage. This means lower prices, happier employees and better cost control.

Getting an overview is that easy

1) Mapping & needs

A canteen specialist from Officeguru will visit you and delve into your wishes: type of food, organic produce, special needs, breakfast, additional purchases.

2) Taste the options

The canteen specialist will arrange a tasting with the kitchens that best suit your needs. We let you experience the differences, not just read about them.

3) The practicalities

If the food is good, we will work with your favourite supplier to make it happen. This includes discussing the transfer of employees, investments in the kitchen, equipment, start-up, etc. Clear, simple and without surprises.

4) One clear offer

Everything in one place. Full transparency. No bullshit.

Don't have the facilities or volume for a traditional canteen?

A hybrid canteen is ideal for companies with fewer than ~80 daily diners

If you are considering abandoning the traditional canteen, for example because kitchen maintenance is too expensive to operate, or you are wondering whether you are ‘big enough’ for a canteen, then the hybrid solution may be the way to go.

More than just food

A good lunch is more than just food. It is a daily gathering point that creates well-being and strengthens the community in the workplace. With a well-planned canteen arrangement, you can increase employee satisfaction and make the office a place where people enjoy coming to work. At Officeguru, we also offer supplementary services such as coffee subscriptions, fruit schemes and breakfast solutions, so that the working day starts and ends with good energy, and you get a comprehensive solution for all your catering needs.

Advantages of a canteen service via Officeguru

No other solution is as flexible

No more long-term canteen contracts. Your business is evolving, and so is the canteen concept, so why be tied down to a canteen solution that restricts your options?

Only the best kitchens are included

It is entirely deliberate that we have created this solution with such prominent players as Madværk, Madklubben and noon. These kitchens are the epitome of innovation in workplace dining experiences and are emulated by others.

Provides colleagues with good food (also to take home)

The canteen of the future is not just a buffet at noon. It is also a place where busy mothers can buy delicious food to take home and students can buy sourdough for the weekend.

Canteen arrangements and tax

When is a canteen service tax-free?

For a canteen scheme to be tax-free, the employee must pay at least 15 kr. per meal without drinks, or 20 kr. including drinks. In addition, the scheme must be offered to all employees. If these requirements are met, the employee will not be taxed on the value. However, if the amount is lower, it will trigger taxation.

Gross salary scheme as an alternative solution

Vil I tilbyde frokost uden direkte egenbetaling, kan en bruttolønsordning være en god løsning. Her modregnes værdien af frokosten i bruttolønnen, hvilket kan være skattefrit - forudsat at aftalen er frivillig, skriftlig og indgået på forhånd. Officeguru samarbejder med leverandører, der kan rådgive om og håndtere begge modeller, så I får en løsning, der både fungerer i hverdagen og overholder skattelovgivningen.
