ALGADI RESTAURACIÓN PARA COLECTIVIDADES

What ALGADI RESTAURACIÓN PARA COLECTIVIDADES does

ALGADI RESTAURACIÓN PARA COLECTIVIDADES, legally ALGADI ALIMENTACIÓN Y DISTRIBUCIÓN S.A., is a privately held Spanish collective catering company headquartered in Madrid and founded in 1984. It operates as one of the first nationally owned companies in Spain's collective catering sector, employing more than 1,500 people (70% women, over 20 nationalities) and serving more than 500,000 meals per month across five specialized divisions: Algadi Educa (schools, nurseries, universities, student residences), Algadi Senior (elderly residences and day centers), Algadi Social (disability care centers), Algadi Salud (hospitals and healthcare), and Algadi Empresa (corporate dining). Operations are delivered through four regional delegations (Centro, Norte, Levante, Andalucía) using four service models: in-situ cooking, hot transport from central kitchens, cold chain (refrigerated/ultrafrozen/pasteurized), and a single-provider model in which Algadi supplies management, procurement, and food safety oversight while the client retains kitchen staff.

The company's technology stack is centered on specialized nutritional software for personalized clinical diet design in hospital settings, Robot-Coupe mechanical equipment for texture-modified diets in disability and elderly care, and the APP Algadi mobile application for menu, nutritional, and allergen communication in schools. The value proposition combines food service with custom advisory, cafeteria interior design and construction, multitechnical maintenance, and a Nutrition and Dietetics Department led by Mª del Carmen Lozano. Algadi has obtained ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 28000, SA8000, ENS (RD 311/2022), HACCP/APPCC compliance, and in 2025 the TOMATE recognition under Royal Decree 315/2025 for school dining. The 'WeCare' brand identity and the 'Más Verde' project with gastronomic advisor Samantha Vallejo-Nágera are central marketing assets.

Commercially, Algadi pursues an enterprise field-sales motion, performing SWOT analyses and tailored proposals for institutional clients, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Customer concentration is anchored in large energy, oil & gas, and construction/engineering accounts (Repsol, CEPSA, Técnicas Reunidas, OHL, Sacyr, FCC, Sonatrach, Marathon Oil, Enel X) plus a high-volume base of school and institutional dining accounts. The company reports no funding rounds, no parent entity, and no disclosed revenue, operating as a self-financed private S.A.
