Gastro13

What Gastro13 does

Gastro13 ApS is a Danish catering company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Engesvang, Central Denmark Region. It operates a central kitchen and serves private and corporate customers across West, Central, and East Jutland, with a delivery radius of approximately one hour and three pickup points (Engesvang, Herning, Silkeborg). Its core offerings are 'Mad ud af huset' (pre-prepared gourmet catering for private events) and 'Frokostordning' (a daily corporate lunch subscription program serving 110+ companies), with a broad menu catalog spanning seasonal, tapas, brunch, Christmas, New Year's, wedding, confirmation, and baptism menus.

The business generates revenue through six primary streams: one-time event catering, recurring corporate lunch subscriptions, food truck setups, ice bike rental, event venue rental (Værkstedet and Facaden in Herning), and ancillary services such as staffing, cold trailer rental, and specialized menus. Pricing is per-person (ranging from ~55 DKK for breakfast to 398 DKK for premium 3-course menus), with delivery fees layered by distance, and the first corporate lunch is offered free as a trial. The company has built a cross-promotional ecosystem of 12+ partner brands covering photography, décor, beverages, music, furniture, and venues.

Operational scale is small at 9 employees, and the company is privately held with no disclosed funding, institutional investors, or parent company. Its competitive positioning rests on scratch-made seasonal cooking, menu breadth, a 4.9/5 Trustpilot rating, and regional distribution density. There is no disclosed use of AI, APIs, or proprietary technology; the website serves as the primary ordering and marketing channel alongside phone and email contact.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Sodexo Denmark: Global facilities and food services contractor with workplace catering offerings in Denmark. Adjacent competitor for corporate lunch programs and event catering, though typically serving larger enterprise contracts.
• Compass Group Denmark: Global contract foodservice major with Danish contract catering for workplaces, schools, and corporate clients. Competes for the same B2B lunch contracts Gastro13 serves, but at much larger institutional scale with broader menu breadth.

Direct peers

• Meyers: Danish premium food brand founded by Claus Meyer with catering, restaurants, and corporate food services. Most directly comparable upscale positioning and scratch-cooking philosophy to Gastro13, but at significantly larger national scale.
• Hanegal: Danish organic food producer with catering arm serving both private events and corporate clients. Comparable product mix (catered lunches, event menus) and similar quality-driven positioning, with broader geographic reach across Denmark.
• Cofoco: Copenhagen-based Danish restaurant group operating multiple upscale restaurants and private dining/catering. Overlaps with Gastro13 on premium event catering and curated menus, though focused more on restaurant experiences than off-premise catering.
• A Hereford Beefstouw: Danish upscale steakhouse and private dining chain offering private event hosting and group menus. Comparable premium positioning for special occasions (anniversaries, corporate dinners) and similar reliance on visual presentation and quality ingredients.

Emerging players

• Wolt: Nordic food delivery platform (HQ Finland) actively expanding into workplace meal programs and group/catering orders in Denmark. Different delivery model (marketplace) but directly addresses the same corporate lunch customer use case.
