Three ways we run your food.
A 500-bed hostel, a 5,000-seat tech campus or a site with no kitchen at all: we bring the people, the menus and the systems.

Corporate cafeterias
Turnkey employee dining run to your SLA — breakfast to late shift, with pantry service and meeting catering that keeps your people on campus and happy.
- Scale
- 200 to 5,000+ employees per site
Bulk cooking · transported meals
Central kitchens
Large-format kitchens that cook in bulk and deliver hot to sites without a kitchen of their own — the backbone behind every Foodking contract.
- Scale
- Thousands of meals per kitchen, per service
A day in a Foodking kitchen.
Feeding thousands of people three or four times a day leaves no room for improvisation. This is the routine a typical Foodking kitchen runs, 365 days a year.
Leadership
Founder-led since day one.
Sarathbabu Elumalai started Foodking in Chennai in 2006 after BITS Pilani and IIM Ahmedabad, choosing to build a catering company over a corporate career. He still runs it today.
