A team meeting, a company event, or just a healthier business lunch for everyone: if you’re looking for reliable office catering in Zurich that doesn’t taste like a cafeteria, that’s SO Catering — Simply Soup’s corporate-catering arm. Since 2012 we’ve been supplying companies across Zurich and the surrounding area with home-cooked, balanced food, from a classic team soup to an apéro riche for your next company event.
Who’s behind it
SO Catering is the corporate catering arm of Simply Soup, founded in 2012 in Zurich. With over 15 years of experience, three own restaurants in Zurich, and hundreds of corporate clients — including UBS, Nestlé, EF, ETH Zurich, Bucherer, Fairtrade Max Havelaar, Baker McKenzie, LVMH, and the City of Zurich — we know what makes office catering actually work: genuinely good, healthy food and a process that runs smoothly without anyone in the office having to chase it.

Frequently asked questions about office catering
What’s the minimum order size?
We take requests from 20 people upward. Smaller event, bigger budget per person? Get in touch anyway — we’re happy to work out a custom quote.
Are there vegetarian, vegan, or allergy-friendly options?
Yes. We adapt our menus to your needs — gluten-free, lactose-free, vegetarian, and vegan are all available, and a good part of our menu (several curries and bowl options, for instance) is vegan by default.
Can we book recurring or weekly catering?
Yes — returning clients and companies that order regularly or every week get access to a dedicated corporate login on our website. It lets you place your own orders quickly and easily, up to one day in advance.
Delivery or pickup?
Both. We deliver straight to your workplace — including with our electric catering van — or you can pick your order up from us. Deliveries outside Zurich and the immediate surrounding area are possible too, by arrangement.
How far in advance do I need to order?
At least a week in advance is best, so we can guarantee availability and freshness. Short-notice requests are often still possible by arrangement.
What kind of events does this suit?
Business lunches, team meetings, corporate events, conferences, and private celebrations in an office setting — from a small coffee break to an apéro riche for the whole company.
