SmartLunch – with delivery to your company from a Wroclaw startup

21.05.2024

SmartLunch has been providing catering for employees for 10 years. It operates online in most major cities in Poland and is constantly expanding its reach. The idea was born in the startup capital of Poland, Wroclaw. Now the company is taking it to the next level, becoming part of Benefit Systems.

Mateusz Tałpasz is the co-founder and CEO of SmartLunch, a platform that provides fresh meal delivery to employees of large companies. The company has been operating in the Polish market for a decade, offering employers comprehensive solutions for employee meals.

SmartLunch part of Benefit Systems

SmartLunch currently serves nearly 600 companies, which means that more than 120,000 employees use the platform’s solutions. According to preliminary financial data, the company generated PLN 136.4 million in revenue in 2023. Now it can boast another success, as Benefit Systems S.A. has become their shareholder, which will acquire 18.53 percent of the shares. The deal also includes a non-financial contribution in the form of Lunching.pl, which will contribute its know-how and resources to SmartLunch as part of the merger.

Thanks to employees

– When I founded SmartLunch in 2014, Benefit Systems was already a leader in the benefits market, offering the MultiSport card and promoting activity among employees. We, in a decade, have achieved a leadership position in organizing employer-subsidized meals for employees, becoming a promoter of food culture at work. What we have in common is concern for the well-being of employees, which makes me all the more pleased that Benefit Systems has become our investor. I am convinced that joining forces will benefit both parties. Thanks to this cooperation, Benefit Systems will strengthen its position in the strongly growing segment of nutritional benefits, and SmartLunch, by acquiring Lunching.pl, will strengthen its position and gain even greater opportunities for development in the Polish market, and in the perspective also beyond it – says Mateusz Talpasz. – We achieved this investment thanks to the hard work of all SmartLunch employees. If we didn’t have such revenues, technology, satisfied customers, growth, no one would have invested in us.
