Transforming Berlin’s public plates
Together with Berlin canteen teams, we are working on enhancing the quality of communal catering in the city. Delicious, appealing and sustainable!
The cafeteria, reimagined
Kantine Zukunft is committed to the sustainable transformation of Berlin’s public catering sector. By providing proactive and long-term consulting in communal canteens, including culinary workshops, farm excursions and networking opportunities, we are teaming up with Berlin’s canteen teams to change the city’s public catering landscape in favor of higher quality and increased recognition.
It’s more than organic
Kantine Zukunft has set out to redefine cafeterias as destinations for nutritious, sustainable and tasty meals. We want to rethink your canteen together and create a sustainable menu that satisfies your guests, and benefits our environment and society. From kindergartens to hospitals: the free consulting program „Canteen Workshop“ supports Berlin’s public canteen teams in their efforts to transform their menus to include more organic, fresh, handcrafted and seasonal cuisine.
What we do and why it matters:
Over 200 public organizations across education, care and commercial services are part of the canteen workshop.
The institutions that have taken part in the canteen workshop serve more than 54,000 meals a day, that’s over 11.8 million meals a year.
As part of the canteen workshop, these organizations achieve an average of 68% organic across all food product groups.
In all 12 districts of Berlin there are institutions that have embarked on this journey together with us.

The Canteen Workshop
From kindergartens to hospitals: the free advisory program „Canteen Workshop“ supports Berlin’s public canteen teams in their efforts to transform their menus to include a more organic, fresh, handcrafted and seasonal cuisine.
The canteen workshop, a needs-oriented consultancy program for Berlin’s communal catering sector, forms the core of Kantine Zukunft. The central lever of the canteen workshop is to increase the proportion of organic food to 60% without exceeding existing budget limits. Numerous public institutions in the city have proven that this works. From kindergartens to large state-owned enterprises, federal ministries, and hospitals, many institutions have been able to significantly increase their share of organic products thanks to their commitment and our support – and in doing so, have provided new impulses for their menu.
