Public sector and schools

Fresh, local meals for public teams and schools.

Daily meals for public administration teams, cooked by local kitchens, labelled with macros and billed per meal on one monthly invoice. Schools are served by atSchool, atWork's sister service. There is no kitchen to build, so a programme starts without capital expenditure.

  • Pay only for meals ordered
  • 100% local supply chain
  • Macros on every meal

Who it is for

Two audiences, one transparent service

Public institutions and schools have different days and different diners, but the same needs: good food, clear costs and numbers they can report on.

  • One monthly invoiceAuto-generated every month for the whole institution, as a PDF by email.
  • Reports for accountabilityReports by division, location, category, time slot, complaints and budget use, plus a real-time dashboard for usage and satisfaction.
  • Audit log and role-based accessEvery admin action is recorded, and each person sees only what their role allows.

Sample data

Start without capital expenditure

  • No kitchen to build

    Partner kitchens cook every meal, so there is nothing to build, equip or staff on site.

  • No hardware to install

    Staff order on their phones in the atWork app, so there is nothing to install in the building.

  • No minimum orders

    A small office and a large building use the same service, with no minimum order and no fixed menu.

  • Free delivery

    Delivery is free, and meals arrive grouped in the slot each person picked.

How it works

From the first call to the first delivery

The same five steps for a ministry building or a school. The difference is in the budget rules and how people order.

  1. Tell us about your teams

    Share headcount, locations and the daily budget you have in mind. We prepare a proposal.

  2. Set budgets and rules

    Daily or monthly budgets per person, team pools, top-up and carryover rules, all in the HR dashboard.

  3. People choose their meals

    Staff order in the app and pick a 12:00, 13:00 or 14:00 slot. Schools are served by atSchool, atWork's sister service.

  4. Local kitchens cook and deliver

    Meals arrive grouped by department, floor or office zone, with free delivery.

  5. One invoice and reports

    Each month: one invoice, plus reports by division, location, category and budget use.
