To organise office lunches in Valencia, all you need is a team of 3 or more, one delivery address and a subscription: we cook home-style food every morning and deliver it hot Monday to Friday, between 12:00 and 14:30. Office pricing starts at 10.50 € per meal, IVA included, and a nutritionist plans the weekly menu.
Below is a practical guide for office managers, HR people and founders of small companies: where to start, how to handle everyone's preferences and what it costs.
Why organise lunches for your team?
Lunch breaks in an office often turn into daily logistics: someone goes to a café and comes back an hour later, someone orders delivery and waits for the courier, and someone skips lunch altogether and runs on coffee until evening.
Shared lunches solve a few simple problems:
- They save time. Nobody has to decide where and what to eat every day — lunch just arrives.
- They give you a predictable budget. You know the price per meal in advance and can plan for it.
- They bring the team together. Eating together is a natural moment to talk about something other than work.
- They help people eat regularly. A proper lunch with protein, a garnish and vegetables instead of snacks on the go.
We won't promise that lunches will make your team a certain percentage more productive — we have no data for that. But regular meals and fewer small daily decisions are things people usually notice straight away.
How do office lunches work, step by step?
The process is the same as for an individual subscription, just with one delivery address for the whole team.
- Get in touch and tell us the number of people, the address and a preferred time within 12:00–14:30.
- Every Thursday we publish next week's menu.
- Until Sunday 20:00 each employee chooses their garnish in their own account — mashed potatoes, buckwheat, rice or bulgur — or pauses their lunches.
- Monday to Friday the kitchen starts cooking at around 7:00 and the courier brings everything hot to your office.
Each lunch is packed and labelled individually, so there's no confusion about whose container is whose.
The format also works for hybrid teams: if someone knows they'll be working from home on some days next week, they adjust their lunches in advance, before Sunday 20:00.
What if someone is on holiday or off sick?
They simply pause their lunches before Sunday 20:00, and the following week their portion isn't cooked or charged. Cancelling the subscription also takes two clicks in the account.
How much do office lunches in Valencia cost?
For teams of 3 or more, the price is from 10.50 € per meal. That's the "Home Lunch" package: a hot main dish, a garnish and a salad. All prices include IVA.
Example for a team of 8 eating lunch five days a week:
- 8 people × 5 days = 40 lunches a week;
- 40 × 10.50 € = 420 € a week;
- per month (about 4.3 weeks) — roughly 1,800 €.
If the team wants soup, it's +2 € per day. Employees who want portion control can choose the "Forma" package (from 17 €) with macros on the label, a snack and a nutritionist consultation.
Payment is by Bizum or bank transfer. If the company covers part of the cost and employees pay the rest, write to us and we'll work out a convenient setup.
How does that compare with the alternatives?
A menú del día in Valencia typically costs roughly 12–15 € and takes time to walk to the restaurant and wait to be served. A one-off order through a delivery app, with fees, often comes to 15–20 €. These are approximate ranges that vary by area and venue, but they show where an office subscription from 10.50 € sits.
How do you handle allergies and preferences?
Every team has someone who doesn't eat pork, has a nut allergy or doesn't tolerate lactose. That's why we make ingredients as transparent as possible.
Every container has a label with the dish name, calories, macros (kcal, protein, fat, carbs), allergens (icon and text), storage conditions (0–4 °C) and reheating instructions. If a dish can be adapted, the kitchen will cook it without a specific allergen — the employee just notes it in their profile.
To be honest: we are not a specialised kitchen for people with severe allergies or medical diets. If a colleague has serious restrictions, we recommend they talk to their doctor first.
What does the office need for delivery?
Very little, in practice:
- One address and clear instructions for the courier: floor, company name, entry code or reception desk.
- A contact person to receive the delivery if lunches arrive in one batch.
- A fridge and a microwave — nice to have, but not essential. Lunch arrives hot, but if someone eats later, it can be kept at 0–4 °C and reheated following the label.
We deliver to central Valencia districts such as Russafa, Benimaclet, Campanar and the city centre. Check the current zones on the site.
How to start: a trial week for your team
The easiest way to see whether the format works is to try it for a week. Gather whoever is interested, set up a weekly subscription and see how the team feels about the menu, delivery time and portions. If everyone is happy, switch to a monthly plan.
Before you start, it's worth running a quick poll:
- how many people actually want lunch every day, and how many only a few times a week;
- whether anyone has allergies or foods they don't eat;
- what time suits the team better — closer to 12:00 or to 14:00;
- who will receive the delivery if lunches arrive in one batch.
Answering these four questions clears up most of the practical details before the first delivery.
A tip from experience: don't make lunches compulsory for everyone. It's better to let people opt in or pause — nobody feels pressured, and orders match the number of people actually eating.
