Why Cloud Canteen

Everyone eats what they chose

Your team orders from a menu built for your office, and every meal arrives together.
You get a happier office without becoming the lunch coordinator.
For your team

Their lunch, their call

Individually packaged meals, one per person
Single-serve meals from your team's favourite lunch spots, labelled for each employee. Your staff choose, add on and modify their own meals in the Cloud Canteen app, and you only pay for what's ordered.
Rotating menus from local vendors near your office
Labelled with name, dish, dietary and allergy flags
Full, partial or staff-funded, with top-ups handled at checkout
No excess leftovers, because orders match the headcount
Best for hybrid teams, mixed dietaries, and offices that want everyone to get something they actually chose.
For your office

One delivery, sorted

Every order arrives together, named and labelled
Cloud Canteen is built for office buildings. Everyone's lunch arrives in one delivery on a set schedule, so reception isn't fielding a queue of drivers at 12:30.
One delivery to your building on your chosen days
Vendors held to one standard on packaging and timing
Spare dishes for anyone who missed the cut-off
A local account manager on call when you need a hand
Best for offices where lunch has quietly become someone's part-time job.
Cloud Canteen runs on the same EatFirst account as your catering, pantry, fruit and milk,
so one partner and one invoice cover everything your workplace eats and drinks.
How it works

Four steps to a well-fed office

1

We build your menu

Tell us your budget, your days and your dietaries. We curate a rotating menu from vendors near your office and set your ordering rules and cut-off. Want more control over your program? You can choose the vendors yourself.
2

Your team orders

Staff order from your company menu before the cut-off, and choose their own dietaries and modifications. No spreadsheets, no chasing, no group email.
3

‍It arrives labelled

Meals land on time, packed and labelled with each person's name, dish and dietary information, so handing them out takes a minute, not a lunch break.
4

You stay in control

Track orders, budgets, headcounts and dietary counts in the admin portal. Everything lands on one invoice, which keeps your accounts team happy.
Why it matters

The perk your team will actually use

Gym discounts get forgotten. Lunch doesn't. Staff meals lift attendance, mood and the office vibe,
and everyone notices the day they start.

Boost office attendance

Our customers see up to +30% office attendance on meal days. Put the food on the days you most want people in.

Cut food costs by up to 40%

You only pay for the meals people order, so there are no leftover platters and no over-ordering for staff who stayed home.

Save hours in admin every week

No more collecting orders, chasing dietaries or reconciling receipts. The platform handles it all, and your account manager is on call when you need a hand.

Cloud Canteen: one individually packaged, labelled meal per person, ordered by them before the cut-off.

Volumes are indicative and assume four program weeks a month. Per-head pricing depends on your format, frequency, cuisine and vendor mix, headcount and delivery location. We build the menu to your budget rather than the other way around.

FAQs

we'll talk it through.

What is Cloud Canteen?

EatFirst's Cloud Canteen is Australia's favourite staff meal platform, an app-powered program built to boost office attendance and bring teams together. Employees pre-order their own meals from the best local restaurants, every dietary need covered, so no one is chasing orders and admins stay in control of the budget. Corporate-trained drivers deliver on time, straight to your office. Billing is just as simple: one consolidated invoice, charged only for what's eaten, with nothing to reconcile at month end.

How does Cloud Canteen work?

Step 1: Set your schedule and budget.Work with your dedicated account manager to lock in your weekly meal schedule, then set per-head spend limits (e.g. $25) to suit your budget. You decide how much, how often, and for whom.

Step 2: Your team orders for themselves.Every team member gets their own login to the Cloud Canteen app. They browse rotating local vendors, filter by dietary needs like vegan, gluten free or halal, and order for the week ahead. Anyone who hasn't ordered gets an automatic reminder before cut-off, and same-day windows handle last-minute changes, so you're never chasing orders or collecting preferences in a spreadsheet.

Step 3: One delivery, ready to distribute.All orders arrive together in a single delivery, within your chosen time slot. Each meal is individually packaged, labelled by name, and clearly marked with dietaries, so there's no sorting and no mix-ups. Staff just grab and go. Orders are bundled and delivered with zero tailpipe emission vehicles prioritised, keeping your program's footprint low.

Step 4: Run it all from one dashboard.Oversee orders, track spend against your limits, pull reports, and view your consolidated invoice, all in one place. Manage multiple office locations from a single account, across Australia and into Singapore, New Zealand and Europe. Only-what's-eaten billing means nothing to reconcile at month end, and your account manager is on hand whenever you need to adjust the program.

Does this work for a hybrid team?

Yes, and it is the most common reason offices start one. Because staff order individually against a cut-off, you only pay for the people who are actually in, and you can put the food on the days you most want the office full.

When do staff need to order by?

A cut-off is set when your program is built, so your team knows exactly when to order by. Anyone who misses it can be covered with spare dishes, or you can place an order on their behalf from the admin portal.

How often can we run a meal program?

As often as you want people in. Programs commonly run one to three days a week on a team's anchor office days, and can also run daily, fortnightly, or as one-off team days. You choose the days, the times and the delivery locations, and you can change them.

Can staff pay for part of their own meal?

Yes. Meals can be paid for by your company, by your staff, or split between the two. You set a per-head contribution and staff top up the difference at checkout with their own card. No awkward follow-ups and no petty cash.

How does delivery work for Cloud Canteen meals?

Every Cloud Canteen delivery is handled by the restaurant's own corporate-trained drivers, never third-party gig couriers. There's no UberEats driver wandering your lobby looking for reception. Our vendors go through an extreme vetting process covering food safety, reliability and corporate delivery standards, and their drivers know how to navigate office buildings, loading docks and sign-in procedures. Your team's meals arrive together, on time, within your chosen delivery slot, handed over properly rather than left at the door.

What restaurants do you have available on Cloud Canteen?

We are proud to partner with a large variety of Australia's favourite restaurants and are constantly adding more. Our most popular Cloud Canteen restaurants include: Guzman Y Gomez, Zeus Street Greek, Cali Press, Betty's Burgers, Mary's Mad Mex, Roll'd Vietnamese, Subway, Grace of India, Orrico, Daily Greens, Sandoitchi and many more.

How much does an employee meal program cost?

Pricing is per head, and depends on the format you choose, how often you run it, the cuisine and vendor mix, and your headcount and delivery location. Tell us the budget you have and we build the menu to it. Use the program sizer above to work out your volumes, then send it to us for a per-head price.

How do we get started?

Tell us your city, headcount, the days you want covered and any dietaries. We build a sample menu and bring lunch to your office so your team can try it before you commit to anything.
