"I really like the variety of healthy items because there is literally nothing around our hotel that I can go to within my break time."

Head of Spa, Hotel Barriere

The Problem:

In hospitality and service industries, work never stops. Employees often work late shifts or early mornings when traditional food services are unavailable. Reliance on delivery or makeshift grab-and-go options leads to higher costs, longer lag time, limited healthy choices, and logistical challenges for employers trying to support workforce nourishment around the clock.

Hospitality teams needed a reliable, around the clock meal solution that fueled every shift, reduced waste, and made fresh, healthy food accessible day and night.

The Solution:

Fraîche installs smart fridges inside workplaces that operate 24/7. Employees can use the Fraîche app to browse menus, check ingredients and allergens, and purchase fresh meals at any hour.

Because the fridges are stocked and managed using real-time data analytics, overordering is minimized and food waste is reduced.

This model removes the need for large kitchen infrastructure or extra staff, and it ensures that no employee is left without access to quality food just because of their shift schedule.

The Result:
Fresh Food for Every Shift

Fraîche redefined mealtime for hospitality teams by making nutritious, chef-crafted meals available anytime, day or night. From greater menu flexibility to measurable cost savings, the results speak for themselves.

Flexibility and Transparency for Round-the-Clock Dining

With the app, employees have complete visibility into menu options, ingredients, and allergens, allowing them to make informed meal choices whenever hunger strikes. More than 25% of all meal purchases occur after 6 PM, highlighting just how essential late-shift access is for this industry.

Simplified Processes

By eliminating the need for full kitchens or recurring catering deliveries, Fraîche helps hospitality clients save between $80,000 and $300,000 in infrastructure costs annually. The platform also removes the need for additional kitchen staff—saving roughly $33,000 per year—and cuts down on wasted time. Employees can grab a meal in minutes instead of clocking out for a 30-minute offsite lunch break.

Culinary Diversity

The rotating menu spans global cuisines—from Mediterranean and Asian to American and French—offering over 250 fresh meal options. Every fridge includes vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free selections, ensuring all team members have delicious, nutritious choices that fit their preferences and dietary needs.
