Everything about office catering in Amsterdam

From 10 people, our daily lunch costs from € 8.95 per person per day (Warm Dish, vegetarian); the Chef's Menu is € 13.95. The Basic Buffet is € 7.95 pp, for a minimum of 20 people. Delivery is charged per delivery, from € 20.95. Recurring plans such as buffets, full-service and pantry stocking (drinks, snacks, fruit) differ from office to office, so we quote those to fit. With full-service, our professional hosts handle setup, welcome and clear-up. Every form - daily, occasional and events - sits together on the office catering in Amsterdam page.

Yes. If you're looking for a steady catering partner for your daily lunch, DIS Daily Catering's combo tool shows an instant per-person price from € 7.95 pp - no sales call needed. For a one-off lunch or an event, the prices are on the pricelist. If we do talk, we look together at what fits your team and budget.

Yes - our daily office lunches usually fall under it. The WKR (werkkostenregeling) lets an employer spend part of its total wage bill on staff perks tax-free - the so-called 'free space' (vrije ruimte). A daily lunch delivered to the workplace, like ours, gets special treatment on top of that: the tax office values it at a low fixed amount per lunch (a few euros), regardless of what the lunch actually costs - so most of its real value never counts as taxed wages. A small daily contribution from employees can even offset that fixed amount entirely, keeping the lunch tax-free on both sides. In practice that makes a fresh, handmade lunch from us far cheaper after tax than the price suggests. We're caterers, not tax advisers: the exact effect depends on your wage bill and what else you run through the WKR, so confirm the numbers with your own bookkeeper or accountant. Read exactly how the WKR works, with a calculator for your free space.

Not any more. In 2024 the Dutch Supreme Court sided with a grower over free healthy lunches in 2017 and 2018: back then they fell under the exemption for occupational health provisions. Since 2022 that exemption only covers what you are required to provide as an employer, such as a proper desk chair. Lunch is not one of those, so it simply comes off your free space, at € 4.05 per meal.

Because we can handle everything around food and drink at the office: the daily lunch, the coffee, snacks and fruit on every floor, a host who sets up and clears away again, and the moments that stand out: drinks, a team day, a 4th of July celebration. One partner, one invoice, and nobody internally figuring out who to call.

Big or small makes no difference to us. We make around 9,000 meals a month for 70+ companies, so a large office or a busy week is routine for us. At the same time we start from 10 people and cook everything ourselves in our own Amsterdam kitchen, so a small office never disappears into a system. Clients call us a boutique caterer, and the reason is the size of the team behind it: you get one point of contact who knows how your organisation works, not a service desk or a rotating account manager. Our recipes are made in-house, so we can tell you exactly how a dish was made and where the ingredients came from.

No problem - a trial lunch simply runs alongside your current contract, with nothing to cancel on your end. We start with one day a week, see how it lands, and only grow it if you want to. Tell us your headcount, your days, the dietary list we should know, and what time lunch arrives now - we handle the rest of the switch.

You request a no-obligation trial lunch and we cater lunch for the whole office for up to three days at 25% off, so your team can taste it for themselves. Like it? We put together your menu and rhythm and usually start within a week. After that, ordering takes a few clicks; we handle the rest. Book your trial lunch or give us a call.

Ask every caterer the same six questions. Do they cook themselves, or pass your order on? (We cook everything in our own kitchen at Haarlemmerplein.) Are the allergens labelled per dish on the table? (With us all 14 EU allergens, and on the weekly menu too.) What is the minimum and how flexible are the days? (From 10 people, you pick the days, changes up to two working days ahead.) Are you tied in? (The trial lunch is no obligation; after that a notice period of usually one to two months applies, depending on the length of the agreement.) Can you taste first? (Three days at 25% off, no obligation.) And who calls you back when something comes up? (With us a fixed account manager who knows your office.) That way you know within a week whether a caterer suits you. Ask for a trial lunch.

A delivery app brings separate orders from restaurants. We cook ourselves, in our own kitchen at Haarlemmerplein, to our own recipes. In our own web app you order for the whole team, or colleagues with their own account mark which days they are in. That way your lunch, with your dietary needs, is always ready. We deliver the buffet so it is on the table in a few minutes and cleared away just as quickly.

Yes. Many of our clients are English-speaking, and we know what international teams expect from lunch. You can order, email and call in English. The website, the weekly menu, our contract and our terms are in English too.

DIS was founded in 2015 by owner Victor. He wanted people in Amsterdam to eat as well and as healthily at work as he had seen abroad. We cook in our own kitchen at Haarlemmerplein 37, around 9,000 meals a month. Chamber of Commerce (KvK) 61657557.

Our most popular choice is the Chef's Menu: four dishes per person, handmade each morning in our own Amsterdam kitchen. What's in it follows the seasons and changes every week. We write the menus per season, five days a week and four weeks in a row, so within a season your team never eats the same dish more than three times. Want to know what's on the table this week? You'll find it in the current weekly menu. A dessert isn't included as standard, but it's easy to add. We also do buffets, big and small. What ends up on your plate is your choice; we'll help you shape it and send an accurate proposal. See the full menu & pricing.

Our daily lunch works from just 10 people per day, up to offices of hundreds - and you pay per person per day, only on the days you choose. Don't need every weekday? That's fine: pick two or three fixed days a week, for example. Team growing? We simply scale up with you. Sales team away for a week? We just deliver less that week. Scaling up or down is rarely a problem - tell us how many you are and which days you want, and we'll find the best fit.

Yes. Vegetarian and vegan are on the menu as standard. Gluten-free, pork-free or nut-free is possible too, and for a non-severe allergy we make a separately prepared meal (€ 0.65 pp). For a very severe allergy we are not the right kitchen: all 14 allergens are present here, so we can never rule out traces.

Absolutely. Alongside daily lunch we do occasional lunch (now and then, no contract) and event catering for drinks, meetings, in-house events and photoshoots - from grazing platters and breakfast to a hot dinner at the office. On-site host service is available too, from € 35.95 per hour (minimum 4 hours). Tell us what you're planning and we'll make a proposal - get in touch.

Healthy without turning into a diet. Every day brings a changing spread of salads, good bread, warm dishes, fresh fruit and vegetables, so the person who wants something light and the person with three more hours of work both find their lunch. Vegetarian and vegan are on the menu as standard, at no extra cost, and we cook everything ourselves, that same morning, in our own kitchen. What's on the table this week is on the weekly menu, with the allergens per dish. Specific wishes for your team? Tell us what you need.

Yes. We cook in our own kitchen and deliver a lunch buffet on your days for the canteen, staff restaurant or lunch area: with a host, self-service or a mix. You need no kitchen and no cooks. And we help with the space itself: with serveware, styling and a good set-up we turn the lunch area into a warm, welcoming place where your team likes to eat together.

Our drinks board is € 79.95 per board and serves 8 to 12 people, so € 6.66 to € 9.99 per person. It holds 12 savoury bites, with bread, nut mix, pickles, grapes and vegetables. Prices exclude VAT and delivery. Drinks we put together on request.

No, we do not offer halal meals. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are on the menu every day, and pork-free can be arranged.

No, not as standard. We use reusable serveware and crates, which we take back on a later delivery. Regular clients can have a fixed set-up with durable serveware. We only use disposables when a one-off event really asks for it.

No. We cook everything in our own Amsterdam kitchen and deliver it so it is ready in a few minutes, in your company canteen, pantry or a meeting room, so a few metres for serving is enough. No investment in square metres or equipment that stands idle most of the day, and no office floor space given up to it. Clearing away afterwards is just as quick. With full-service, our host handles the setup, topping up and clear-up for you, at an extra cost - tell us what you have in mind.

For a fixed, ongoing lunch we usually start within a week of your trial lunch. After that, you order or adjust up to two working days ahead, before 3 PM - order Monday before 3 PM and you're set from Wednesday. In a hurry, or something changes last-minute? Just call or email us; we can often still sort it.

Yes. You set the number per delivery day, up to two working days ahead before 15:00, and pay only for what was delivered that day. Colleagues can also use their own login to say whether they are in. The minimum is 10 people per delivery day.

You can order up to two working days ahead, before 15:00. For Thursday, that means Tuesday before 15:00 at the latest. Need it sooner? Call 020 - 737 1278. We can often still make it work, but we cannot promise it.

At the time you choose. If you want to eat at 12:00, the buffet is ready in time. We deliver lunch on working days between 10:30 and 14:00; another time or a weekend is possible on request.

The trial lunch comes with no obligation. If you carry on, we set it down in a service agreement with a notice period of usually one to two months, depending on its length. You change days and numbers up to two working days ahead, before 15:00. The details are in our terms.

You get one invoice weekly, at the end of the week, based on what was actually delivered that week, with VAT clearly itemised. The payment term is 14 days; a longer term is possible by arrangement, with an upfront deposit. We make sure the invoice is correct and easy to book in. Specific invoicing needs? Get in touch.
