In this session\, we welcome Feedr! About FeedrProviding good\, varied and healthy food at companies. They schedule multiple caterers at businesses throughout the week\, ensuring each company enjoys a different lunch every day.

Feedr works partly with all-round caterers\, who offer soups\, salads\, sandwiches and hot meals; a different menu each day\, rotating weekly. They also work with authentic caterers\, who offer a fixed menu and are scheduled at the same client for a number of weeks depending on the client’s preference.  \nRequirements FeedrThey are always on the lookout for unique caterers with a fixed or rotating menu\, budget or high-end\, event caterers or highly specific product caterers (finger food caterers / specific cuisine etc.).
