Abstract
Acquired by Compass in March 2020, Feedr is an innovative workplace foodservice platform that enables employers to cater for their teams on site or at home.

Following its success in serving clients across London, Manchester and Dublin, the Feedr app and concept will now be available for use in Edinburgh.

Whether a company is catering for 15 or 500, the Feedr solution allows individual users to select healthier choices from an extensive rotating menu of vendors that helps boost physical and mental wellbeing.

Linda Banks, chief operating officer at Feedr, said: “Even before the pandemic we were starting to flip the script on what food in the workplace means. The traditional notion of 9-5 office working and fixed mealtimes is becoming a thing of the past.

“We need to flex and adapt, manage unpredictability and feed the nation’s workforces in a way that works for them. Feedr has been very well received in the three cities where it has launched, and we’re excited to be launching in Scotland for the first time.”

Feedr uses local vendors to supply the food, including:

  • Bowls: providing delicious plant-based salad and poke bowls
  • Bonnie Burrito: Combines Mexican food with the delights of Scotland, such as irn-bru’ed pork or haggis
  • Roots: Specialises in vegan and allergy friendly breakfast and lunch, including granola bowls and porridge for breakfast and daily salads, soups, filled bagels and hot dishes for lunch.

David Hay, managing director of Compass Scotland, added: “Feedr is an innovative solution, which is perfect for businesses without a restaurant facility onsite, or those looking for the ultimate in flexibility for their catering options.

“Eating good food at work is a core part of the office experience for many, so offering a flexible food perk can foster a sense of continuity and motivate employees. It’s also scalable and cost-effective; it doesn’t sacrifice quality, but saves on maintenance, utilities and waste. We are looking forward to launching Feedr as part of our Compass Scotland offer.”

For every online order in the UK and Ireland, Feedr donates a nutritious meal to a school child in rural India.
