AN ARAMARK ALTERNATIVE WITH CHEF-COOKED MEALS IN THE FRIDGE
Aramark runs workplace food through several companies: cafés, chef-led dining, and a refreshments business for coffee, pantry and 24/7 markets. FELFEL puts meals, snacks and coffee in one fridge with one monthly invoice.
WHICH ARAMARK ARE YOU REPLACING?
Aramark's Workplace Experience Group splits into separate companies, and each one maps to something FELFEL does.
Workplace Hospitality, the cafés and everyday dining. FELFEL replaces the café with a fridge stocked every workday with meals cooked in NYC restaurant kitchens. No canteen hours, no kitchen, no build-out.
Refreshments, the micro markets, vending and pantry. This is the closest match. Aramark describes its micro markets as stocked with local snacks, drinks and pre-packaged meals. FELFEL's meals are cooked by chefs in restaurant kitchens, and the pantry holds 40+ snacks and drinks at all times.
Office coffee. FELFEL offers barista-style coffee with 30+ recipes, including vegan and decaf.
LifeWorks Restaurant Group, the chef-led dining and catering company. LifeWorks is an Aramark company, so if you searched for LifeWorks the same comparison applies: chef-made food every day, without booking a caterer.
