Broad incumbents

• Sodexo do Brasil: Brazilian arm of global foodservice and facilities management major. Directly comparable because it contracts outsourced meal services to corporate, industrial, and education clients across Brazil, competing head-to-head with Nova Food on enterprise RFPs.
• ISS A/S (Brasil): Global facility services group with food service operations in Brazil. Comparable because ISS bundles outsourced food services into integrated facility management contracts — the same value proposition Nova Food sells into corporate accounts.
• GRSA / Compass Group do Brasil: Operates large-scale corporate and industrial foodservice contracts in Brazil. Highly comparable because the business model (managed on-site food services for organizations) and target segments overlap directly with Nova Food's core offering.

Direct peers

• Center Meal Refeições Industriais: Brazilian industrial and corporate catering operator. Comparable because it competes for the same industrial and corporate cafeteria contracts that Nova Food serves, with similar per-meal pricing and operational model.
• ServNutri Refeições Industriais: Brazilian foodservice contractor focused on industrial and corporate cafeterias. Comparable to Nova Food because both operate centralized kitchens, manage on-site canteens, and serve workforce-feeding programs in São Paulo state.
• Apetece Sistemas de Alimentação: Brazilian outsourced meal service company serving corporate and industrial clients. Directly comparable because it competes with Nova Food in the same B2B collective-feeding segment with a similar per-meal contract model.
• Mais Alimentação: Brazilian corporate and industrial food service provider. Directly comparable because it offers outsourced meal services to companies of varying sizes, the same customer profile Nova Food targets with Refeições Corporativas.

Regional players

• Alimamed Alimentação Hospitalar: Brazilian outsourced feeding provider with emphasis on institutional accounts. Comparable to Nova Food's collective-feeding model, though operating primarily in a different (healthcare) vertical.
• Bandeirantes Refeições (Grupo GR): Brazilian foodservice contractor serving corporate and industrial clients, with strong São Paulo presence. Comparable because it operates in the same São Paulo-region market with similar outsourced-meal positioning to Nova Food.

Others

• Ticket Log / Edenred Brasil: Major Brazilian meal-voucher and corporate benefits provider. Adjacent comparable because it operates in the same corporate-meal ecosystem that Nova Food serves, though via the payment/benefits side rather than on-site food preparation.
