Artizan Food Co

What Artizan Food Co does

Artizan Food Co is an Irish, women-owned corporate catering company founded in 2005 and headquartered in Dublin. The company began as a small gourmet sandwich shop on Leeson Street and has evolved into a full-service workplace catering and pantry services provider serving corporate clients in the Dublin market. Its core offerings comprise office catering (breakfast, lunch, and afternoon deliveries of platters, sandwiches, sushi, fruit, and desserts), in-house managed contracts (full food-service management with in-house restaurants, barista bars, pantry services, and corporate events), pop-up restaurants, pantry and micro-kitchen stocking services, and hospitality and events catering. The company operates a purpose-built 13,000 sq ft food production facility on the Naas Road (completed 2015) and a state-of-the-art 26,000 sq ft cloud kitchen on the outskirts of Dublin, giving it vertical integration into food production with full traceability.

The company sells primarily through direct enterprise sales to corporate clients in Dublin, supplemented by a website-based e-commerce storefront. Revenue is generated across six streams: corporate catering (subscription/recurring office delivery), in-house managed contracts, pantry services, pop-up restaurants, hospitality and events catering, and cloud kitchen operations. Named enterprise customers include Meta, Salesforce, Stripe, DocuSign, Slack, Twitter, and Avolon — predominantly technology multinationals with European headquarters in Dublin. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is understood to be quote-based given the bespoke nature of managed contracts and event catering.

The business is privately held with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or funding rounds, and is operated alongside sister brand Eatto (handmade frozen meals delivered to homes, launched 2020). Artizan holds sustainability credentials including EcoVadis Silver Medal (2022, top 25% of ~90,000 companies), Bord Bia Origin Green membership, and UN Global Compact membership. Marketing channels focus on content marketing via the company blog, organic social media (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X), email, and direct contact. The company has no app, no AI capabilities, and no disclosed patents or trademarks.
