Who's behind it
"There's just nothing good to eat!"
This is how FELFEL began: Emanuel worked in an office in the heart of Zurich and was frustrated. Takeout wasn’t great, supermarket salads were too expensive, and dining out took two hours—and at lunchtime, everyone went their separate ways. Today, a family of five, over 100 FELFELians in Zurich and Lausanne, and partner businesses throughout Switzerland make up the FELFEL family.

A corporate vending machine is a smart refrigerator that is restocked daily with freshly prepared meals, snacks, and beverages for employees at their workplace. FELFEL handles the entire service—from restocking to maintenance—and is accessible around the clock without the need for advance orders.
Unlike a traditional meal vending machine, FELFEL focuses on meals cooked fresh daily and a fully managed service.
-
An “ FELFEL ” refrigerator requires only 1 m² of floor space, no dedicated staff, and no kitchen infrastructure—a meal vending machine like FELFEL takes up significantly less space and requires no dedicated kitchen or additional service staff. The smart refrigerator is accessible around the clock and is restocked daily with freshly prepared meals. This makes FELFEL a modern solution for employee meals—flexible, space-saving, and without the infrastructure costs of a traditional cafeteria.
