Artfood caterer

What Artfood caterer does

Artfood caterer (legal entity Artfood SRL) is a Brussels-based event catering company founded in 2009 by Arthur and Eugénie. It provides bespoke catering for private celebrations (weddings, communions, birthdays, garden parties) and corporate events (seminars, product launches, company parties, gala dinners), delivered either at the client's chosen venue or through an extensive network of partner venues across Brussels, Walloon Brabant, Flemish Brabant, and internationally. Service delivery is consultative, quote-based, and fully customized, including menu design, table art, live cooking stations, service staff, and event coordination from first contact through event day.

The company is differentiated by a sustainability-led positioning: it claims to be the first Belgian event caterer holding both B Corp and ISO 20121 certifications, with additional Label Entreprise Écodynamique, Certisys organic (minimum 20% of annual purchases), Good Food, AFSCA Smiley, and Green Deal Logistique Urbaine credentials. There is no proprietary technology platform, app, or AI/ML component disclosed; the offering is a professional services catering operation supported by a multilingual (French/Dutch/English) WordPress website, organic social channels, and bespoke supplier collaborations (Slate Lite, Pomax, ClownBlanc uniforms).

The revenue model is a single stream of professional services revenue from event catering, priced per event based on guest count, menu, service format, and venue requirements. Distribution is exclusively direct via website contact form or phone. The customer base spans long-tail private clients and a moderate roster of named enterprise and institutional references including NATO, Belgian SPF Affaires Étrangères, Keolis, ALD Automotive, and a family office. With 11–50 employees and no disclosed funding, Artfood operates as a founder-led, bootstrapped SME serving the premium segment of the Belgian event catering market.
