OUR SERVICES

Collective catering for hospitals

A safe meal that meets all the necessary alimentary requirements is a key part of the patient care and recovery. That's why our food specialists not only pay particular attention to the ingredients used but they also work closely with each healthcare institution to make sure that all key factors are taken into account before creating a meal plan.

Collective catering for nursing homes

Offering high quality balanced catering services to the elderly or individuals who need special care is vital and plays an integral role in their well-being. At the same time, providing them with attractive and tasty dishes is equally important as it can contribute to making mealtime a pleasant social activity. At Markas, we fully recognize the importance of this. Therefore, we carefully study the needs of each nursing home and we develop not only long-term meal plans but also special occasion or themed menus that guarantee a pleasant dining experience for each resident.

Collective catering for schools and universities

As a professional catering company, we don't leave anything to chance, especially when it comes to school meals and canteen lunches. Every day hundreds of healthy school meals are prepared and served with passion and care to students across the entire country, always respecting nutritional requirements, allergies and safety standards. From kindergarten to high schools and university canteens, through the selection of our dishes but also thanks to special food education programs we aim at inspiring youngsters to acquire a conscious consumption mindset and, therefore, follow a healthier lifestyle.

Management of company canteens

Nowadays, the average person will spend approximately 90.000 hours of their lifetime at work. That's why quality of work life is vital not only for employees but also for employers. A well-managed company canteen that offers healthy meals can improve staff productivity and happiness but can also help companies attract and retain top talents. Our team of truly passionate chefs and cooking staff, using Markas' state-of-the-art equipment and cooking techniques, are always ready to deliver excellent collective catering solutions to small businesses or larger corporations.
