In the modern world for human resource specialists and CEOsโ one of the biggest deals is to create an appropriate environment for staff to keep them creative and productive. When they work in offices or do some physical work, they need to be fed fine to keep productivity during their working hours. In Georgia most of the companies donโt take this responsibility and the government doesnโt have any promotion on this issue. Even more, companies that give mealsย to their employees, have to pay the VAT, which is one more reason to avoid feeding their employees.
Despite that itโs not very popular in Georgia to provide meals for the employees there are some companies which offer this kind of service. Food Management Group is among them operating in Georgia since 2012. For now the company unites more than 100 employees and takes one of the leading positions in the field. Food management group provides several services, like Cafeteria management, Lunchbox system and buffet.
Corporate Catering Georgia: How One Company Is Changing How Employees Eat at Work
Corporate catering in Georgia is finally getting the attention it deserves. As HR specialists and CEOs across the country look for smarter ways to boost employee productivity and satisfaction, one fundamental question keeps coming up โ are your employees eating well during working hours?
Research consistently shows that well-nourished employees are significantly more focused, creative, and productive throughout the working day. Whether your team works in an office environment or performs physical labor, proper nutrition is not a luxury โ it is a core component of a high-performing workforce. Unfortunately, however, corporate catering in Georgia remains largely underdeveloped, and most companies still leave their employees to manage meals on their own.
The Corporate Catering Gap in Georgia
Despite growing awareness of employee wellbeing globally, the reality in Georgia is that most companies do not take responsibility for feeding their staff. Furthermore, those that do face an additional financial burden โ businesses that provide meals to employees are currently required to pay VAT on those meals, making corporate catering an even less attractive option from a cost perspective.
As a result, many employees rely on fast food or skip proper meals altogether during working hours. This not only affects individual health but also has a measurable impact on workplace performance, engagement, and long-term employee retention. Therefore, the case for investing in employee food management is both a human and a business one.
Food Management Group: A Pioneer in Employee Catering Since 2012
One company that recognized this gap early and decided to act is Food Management Group, which has been operating in Georgia since 2012. Today, the company employs more than 100 people and holds one of the leading positions in the corporate catering sector in the country.
Food Management Group offers a comprehensive range of workplace food services, including cafeteria management, a lunchbox delivery system, and buffet catering. Depending on the size and nature of a client’s workforce, the company provides either on-site cooking or delivery of freshly prepared meals โ making it a flexible solution for businesses of all sizes.
According to the company’s top manager, speaking in an interview with Business Georgia, the secret behind their long-term success is simple: uncompromising quality. “We always use fresh ingredients and consistently aim to meet the highest standards in our field,” he explained. This commitment to quality, maintained year after year, has earned Food Management Group the trust of some of Georgia’s most prominent companies.
The Story Behind the Business: From a Crisis Lunch to a Leading Company
The origin of Food Management Group is both personal and inspiring. Around ten years before establishing the company, the founder’s wife worked at a company that was abruptly abandoned by its catering provider at the last minute. Left without options and under significant pressure, she found herself in a difficult situation with no immediate solution.
Her husband stepped in. He personally arranged lunch for the employees of one of Georgia’s leading insurance companies โ without charging a single lari. That moment, however, planted a seed. He saw a real and unmet need in the market, and consequently decided to build a business around it.
“I started making food at home and offering it to small companies,” he recalled. “But over time, demand kept growing. I then began approaching larger companies, and by 2012 I had formally established the enterprise.” Today, that same enterprise serves some of Georgia’s biggest businesses and continues to grow.
What Keeps the Team Motivated
For the founder, the motivation behind Food Management Group goes beyond business success. The company’s deeper mission is to give Georgian employees access to healthy, balanced meals during their working day โ something that, for many people, is currently out of reach.
“The common practice in our country is to eat fast food during the day, because healthy food is too expensive unless you cook it yourself,” he noted. “We are proud that we identified and addressed this gap many years ago.” Moreover, Food Management Group is actively working to shift the broader culture โ advocating for a future where it becomes standard practice for Georgian employers to provide food for their staff.
Challenges in the Corporate Catering Industry
Like any business operating in a developing market, Food Management Group faces real challenges. The most significant, according to the founder, is maintaining the delicate balance between price and quality.
Providing a truly balanced meal โ one that includes elements from all major food groups, including dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and protein โ at an affordable price point is no easy task. Ingredient costs fluctuate, client expectations evolve, and competition is gradually increasing. Nevertheless, Food Management Group has managed to maintain this balance consistently, which is precisely what sets them apart in the Georgian corporate catering market.
Why Corporate Catering in Georgia Matters Now More Than Ever
As Georgia continues to attract international investment and grow its business ecosystem, the standards of employee wellbeing are rising accordingly. Companies that invest in corporate catering not only improve their employees’ daily experience but also signal that they are serious, people-first organizations โ something that matters increasingly to top talent.
