A healthy lunch every day at Quooker
At Quooker, we help keep our employees healthy and energised by offering fresh fruit—available to everyone throughout the day -and a healthy lunch. Our creative canteen team ensures plenty of variety and surprise in the menu, so there’s something for everyone.
Sandwiches, quark with muesli, fresh salads, soups and a tasty snack twice a week—the lunch at Quooker is always varied. Everything is prepared fresh each day with care by the canteen team. “We bake the bread rolls early in the morning, and we also make the soups and salads ourselves,” says Marjan, a member of the canteen team. “There’s something for everyone: with or without meat, sweet and savoury. Prices are kept low. For one euro you can get a sandwich or a bowl of salad, and for fifty cents a small bowl of soup. That encourages healthy eating. Fruit is available for free all day long.”
Veggie week At the time of this interview, an Italian flag is hanging in the canteen as part of an Italian-themed week. “Alongside the usual sandwiches, we serve mozzarella, Parma ham, pasta salad and minestrone soup,” says Yvonne. “It’s very popular.” Meanwhile, she and Marjan are already brainstorming for the upcoming vegetarian week. “Hummus, grilled vegetables, delicious goat’s cheese… we have so many ideas.” During some themed weeks, the team goes the extra mile with decorations. “When the Netherlands plays during the European or World Cup, the canteen turns orange,” Yvonne says. “At Christmas, we wear Santa hats. We enjoy making lunch a fun and relaxing moment for our colleagues. It’s really appreciated—we always get great feedback.”
Variety and atmosphere Speaking of relaxing moments, the canteen team also organises the monthly Friday afternoon drinks. Marjan: “Then we have three to four hundred people in the canteen, packed in like sardines. It’s always incredibly gezellig (great fun).” Yvonne: “We also take care of meeting lunches and hand out snack bags to colleagues participating in Quooker’s vitality activities. Early birds can even grab breakfast in the canteen—we’re open from 7 a.m. And on the first Monday of every month, there’s cake for everyone. We organise that too.” “No, you never get bored working in the canteen at Quooker. That’s what makes it so enjoyable—the variety and the great atmosphere. At Quooker, you really feel welcome.”
