The problem with food at most Belgian offices

Most small and mid-sized Belgian companies face the same situation: employees want access to good food during the day, but a full company restaurant is out of reach financially and operationally. The alternatives — vending machines, nearby supermarkets, or a rotating cast of delivery apps — are either unhealthy, expensive, or unreliable.

Meal vouchers solve part of the problem, but they don't put food in your building. Employees still need to leave the office, lose 20–30 minutes, and come back to eat at their desk anyway.

GUS Foods exists to close this gap.

What is a Gus smart fridge?

A Gus fridge is a connected refrigerator installed at your workplace, stocked with fresh, locally sourced food and restocked on a regular schedule. Employees open it with the GUS mobile app, take what they want, and pay directly through the app. No cash, no tokens, no queues.

For you as HR Manager, Facility Manager or Office Manager, it means zero daily management. Gus handles everything: installation, restocking, hygiene, maintenance, and support.

‍

How it works

1. We install the fridge

All you need is 2m² of floor space and a standard power outlet. Gus handles delivery, installation, and setup. Most offices are up and running within a week of first contact.

‍

2. We stock it with fresh food

The fridge is filled with fresh meals, snacks, and drinks — locally sourced where possible. The product range is updated regularly based on what your team actually buys.

‍

3. Your team uses the app

Employees download the free Gus app, select & pay their items through the app, scan the QR code on the fridge to open it and voilà. It takes about 30 seconds. No change needed, no separate card.

‍

4. We take care of the rest

Gus restocks, cleans, and maintains the fridge on a regular schedule. If something goes wrong, our team is on it. You never need to think about it.

Frequently asked questions

How much space does a Gus fridge need?

Roughly 1m² of floor space and a standard 230V power outlet. We'll take an internet connection if it's available, too. It fits in a kitchen corner, a hallway, or a dedicated break area. No ventilation or plumbing required.

‍

HWhich Belgian cities does Gus Foods serve?

We currently serve offices in Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, and Hasselt. If your office is in or near one of these cities, we can likely install within 2 weeks. Not sure? Contact us and we'll confirm availability for your location.

‍

How often is the fridge restocked?

Restocking frequency depends on your team size and consumption. We set a schedule based on your needs — typically 2 times per week. You never have to track stock yourself.

‍

What kind of food is in the fridge?

An assortment to cover every craving of the day: fresh meals, salads, meals to heat, sandwiches, snacks, desserts, yoghurts, juices, and drinks; sourced locally where possible. The range is curated based on what your team actually consumes, and updated regularly. No processed vending machine food.

‍

What if the fridge breaks down?

Gus monitors fridge performance remotely. If a technical issue occurs, our team responds quickly. Food safety is our responsibility — you do not need to manage a breakdown yourself.

‍

Is there a minimum company size?

Gus works well for offices from around 50 employees upwards. There is no hard minimum — it depends on your location and how your team uses the fridge. We're happy to advise during an intro call.
