Award Winning, simple, delicious.
Companies across New York City are increasingly investing in corporate wellness programs and employee benefits that go beyond traditional perks. Access to healthy, delicious food at work is now recognized as one of the most impactful wellbeing investments an employer can make — reducing stress, improving energy, and boosting retention. FELFEL's office pantry and smart fridge model makes this effortless: no kitchen required, no complex catering logistics, just fresh food delivery for offices that employees genuinely love.
How it works
FELFEL installs and operates smart fridges — a modern evolution of the traditional vending machine — stocked daily with freshly prepared meals, healthy office snacks, and chef-designed dishes. With this partnership, select FELFEL locations and corporate clients in New York City will have access to Ivan Ramen menu items: signature bowls, Japanese-inspired small plates, and seasonal specials, all made with real ingredients and delivered fresh. It's healthy food vending reimagined — not a machine dispensing packaged goods, but a curated, living pantry that brings the quality of a great restaurant to the office pantry.
For HR teams and office managers exploring food delivery for offices, corporate snacks, or a full office food solution, FELFEL's model combines the convenience of self-service with the quality of a catered lunch — and now, the credibility of one of New York's most celebrated culinary names.
