Workplace food service platform Feedr has launched in Scotland.
Owned by the UK’s largest food and services company, Compass Group UK & Ireland, Feedr enables employers to cater for workers on site or at home from a variety of vendors.
Acquired by Compass in March 2020, Feedr's move follows its success in serving clients across London, Manchester and Dublin, and the Feedr app and concept will now be available for use in Edinburgh.
The "flexible and innovative" office food solution offers companies an alternative to onsite catering and buffet style meals.
Businesses have access to an admin portal, where they can choose the level of subsidy, amend the schedule, and monitor employee engagement.
David Hay, managing director of Compass Scotland, said: “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.”
Linda Blank, of Feedr, said: “Our modular suite of services allows us to offer a blended solution to help companies enhance their employee wellbeing no matter where they are or what their new working patterns might look like."

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
