How One of the World’s Largest Banks Transformed Its Cafeteria Operations With Foodiisoft

From untracked meal benefits to complete transparency, control, and employee satisfaction

The Problem

With 20,000+ employees across multiple corporate towers, the bank offered subsidized meals round the clock. But the cafeteria operations relied heavily on manual checks, outdated systems, and trust-based processes.

This led to:

• Employees taking meals outside their designated shift or time slot Proxy and multiple meals being taken unintentionally or intentionally
• Long queues during breakfast and lunch due to manual verification
• Vendor billing disputes due to a mismatch in reported vs actual consumption
• Food wastage occurred because the kitchen had no real-time insight into expected demand
• HR and Finance teams are spending hours reconciling cafeteria statements
• The bank needed a system that ensured fairness, transparency, and airtight control without slowing down employees.
