Salon RH 2026: Why Good Employee Dining Is an HR Issue
Salon RH 2026: Why Good Employee Dining Is an HR Issue
On October 7 and 8, 2026, FELFEL had its own booth at the Salon RH at Beaulieu Lausanne, right in the heart of the HR community in French-speaking Switzerland. For two days at Booth C.09, we served fresh meals, spun the wheel of fortune, and spoke with many HR professionals about the impact that good employee dining can have on a company.

Two days of " FELFEL " at the Salon RH in Lausanne
With over 2,000 HR professionals, more than 120 exhibitors, and conferences on AI, talent management, and digital transformation, Salon RH is the trade show of the year in French-speaking Switzerland for People & Culture. Right in the thick of it was our FELFEL team—Daniel, Louis, Jess, Samantha, Jeanne, Lara, and Alex.
Throughout the day, visitors could sample fresh dishes from the “ FELFEL ” fridge. In the morning, there were ginger shots and butter pretzels; for lunch, chicken bánh mì wraps and Thai lentil basil salad; and for dessert, the “ FELFEL ” brownie. The wheel of fortune also offered highlights from the “ FELFEL ” and Usego product lines.
But the best part was seeing what happened at the booth: As soon as a brownie or a ginger shot was placed on the counter, people started striking up conversations. That’s exactly what we experience every day with our customers.
“We now make a point of mentioning FELFEL duringjob interviews. Fresh food right at the workplace is a benefit that our employees experience every day and are happy to share with others.”

Why Employee Meals Are an HR Issue
1. Employer Branding You Can Feel
Good food at work is a benefit that employees enjoy every day. It shows, in everyday life, that a company cares about its people, and that has an impact on both recruiting and employee retention.
2. A meeting place that brings teams together
At the " FELFEL" fridge, coworkers from different teams strike up conversations with one another. New ideas emerge during shared lunches, and, almost without realizing it, a corporate culture develops in which people enjoy working together.
3. Here for everyone, around the clock
The " FELFEL" refrigerator is accessible 24/7, even for shift workers, late shifts, and teams at different locations. The menu changes every week and offers vegetarian, vegan, and meat dishes, freshly prepared by partner chefs from all over Switzerland.
4. No additional workload for HR
FELFEL It requires only about 1 m² of space and an electrical outlet. Installation, daily restocking, cleaning, and customer service are included. Employees register in the app and pay for each meal themselves. Upon request, the company can subsidize a portion of the cost.
