Foodiz, the Brussels-based startup founded in early 2020 by Quentin Walravens and Thibault Vanhaelen, has reinvented the way we think about corporate dining.
By embracing the dark kitchen model, the company has created a fully digital, delivery-only food experience tailored to the needs of modern workplaces.
No traditional canteens, just fresh, chef-prepared meals delivered straight to the office, a concept that feels especially relevant in today’s flexible work environment.

At the core of Foodiz’s success is its innovative use of the dark kitchen model a fully equipped, delivery-only kitchen with no customer-facing space.
Unlike traditional restaurants, Foodiz doesn’t operate storefronts or welcome dine-in guests. Instead, all operations are centralized behind the scenes, where chefs prepare fresh meals daily based on orders placed via a dedicated app.
This highly efficient, tech-driven system enables the company to offer a broad range of healthy, customizable dishes, all while keeping overhead costs low.

More than just a logistical solution, Foodiz’s approach is reshaping the way companies think about employee meals combining flexibility, quality, and convenience in a way that feels tailor-made for the modern workplace.

When Foodiz started, right before the pandemic hit, we knew the traditional corporate canteen model was about to change. By choosing the dark kitchen concept from day one, we could focus entirely on preparing delivery-only meals without the hassle of managing a physical restaurant space.
This allowed us to grow quickly, scaling up without the usual limitations of multiple locations. Thanks to our centralized kitchen and digital order management, we were able to adapt menus on the fly, serve more companies across Brussels, and keep operations efficient.
What started as a smart idea to make lunchtime easier became a flexible, data-driven business model that really responds to the needs of modern workplaces.
