What we believe in:
Our Smission
Smunch is on a mission to provide wholesome and delicious food at affordable prices to office workers in German cities and worldwide, changing the way people lunch one Smunch box at a time.
So here’s what we do in a nutshell: We deliver delicious lunches to companies all over town so that office people can enjoy their breaks to the fullest. So if your office was a hotel, we’d be room service.
Our food is super fresh and healthy, and as we have dozens of partner restaurants that take turns preparing it, we can offer a huge variety. Basically, it’s like eating out in a different part of the city every day.
Most of the companies we cater for choose us as their everyday lunch program. Why? Our food can be subsidized through meal allowances, saving the employer not only the costs of running a canteen, but also taxes and social security payments.
It’s not long ago that two clever minds called Shivram and Oliver were working for the same company in Berlin. They liked their jobs, but they agreed that they were fed up with the daily hunger games at work, and besides, cool people only queue at clubs, not to buy lunch.
So they considered ordering from a classic delivery service, but soon realized that the food often arrived too late and orders never made it to the office at the same time. So they decided a new lunch program for companies was needed!
Everything started with a team of three people, an idea and a tiny office space in Berlin-Mitte. At first, the ‘kitchen’ was just a small fridge with a pad coffee machine sitting on top, orders were made on Excel sheets and most communication happened through WhatsApp.
Within three years, the company evolved from taking these first tentative baby steps to catering for offices in various German cities. Our team now counts over 100 happy and busy Smunchkins on a simple mission: Having healthy, wholesome food at work should be as natural as having a desk. We’re sure you agree!
So who are these two smart heads?
Shivram was in charge of Group Strategy at Delivery Hero when he and colleague Oliver discovered a shared unhappiness with the surrounding lunch options. He gave up his job to start Smunch, but still pursues his passions: eating hummus and jumping out of airplanes.
The former Chief Legal Advisor of Delivery Hero was always a doer. When the idea of Smunch came up, he didn't hesitate to team up with Shivram and give it his all. When he is not doing that, he enjoys travelling, running and family time.

“Work hard, play hard” applies to what we do at Smunch. We are passionate about our mission and work hard to see it happen. But we also like to share a laugh with each other throughout the day - as well as food, obviously.
Smunch is all about food. Every dish we offer is tried and tasted by our staff, so we know what we sell and why. Quality comes first. We take eating very seriously and make sure to enjoy at least one team lunch a week together.
First and foremost, we respect each other and help each other at all times. We also try to ensure that our work has as little impact on the environment as possible by separating and recycling our waste and using compostable packaging. Being a food company, we also take food seriously.
