What Juni Lekkernijen does

Juni Lekkernijen is a sustainable and social catering company headquartered in The Hague, Netherlands, operating since approximately 2015. The company runs in-house canteens and restaurants at cultural and educational institutions, specifically a cafeteria at the Koninklijke Academie van Beeldende Kunsten (KABK), the Juni Stadskantine on the third floor of the Amare theater building (Spuiplein 150), and a restaurant at the Museon-Omniversum science museum opened in April 2023. Juni's menu is vegan/plant-based and vegetarian-leaning, prepared fresh daily from seasonal, organic, and fair trade inputs sourced with local suppliers, with an explicit zero-waste and responsible food operations stance.

The company generates revenue through three primary streams: daily food service at captive locations (transactional canteen and restaurant sales to students, artists, employees, and visitors), corporate and private event catering (quote-based, full-service offerings), and Social Return catering contracts for government and corporate clients that require SROI compliance. Juni holds the PSO 30+ keurmerk, a Dutch certification requiring at least 30% direct or aided employment of people with additional support needs; the certification is recognized by the municipalities of Den Haag, Rotterdam, and Amsterdam and is central to the company's competitive positioning. Juni has been part of the Social Capital hospitality collective since 2020, alongside Lekker Brood, Happy Tosti, and Brouwerij Prael, sharing a sustainability and social-inclusion mission.

Juni's go-to-market is enterprise field sales, securing long-term exclusive or in-house catering contracts with cultural and educational institutions and leveraging its PSO 30+ credential to bid on municipal Social Return catering. The company employs 13 people and operates exclusively in The Hague, with no disclosed technology platform, app, or proprietary AI/ML components; supporting technology appears to be standard catering operations tooling.
