What Flyt does
Flyt Catering AS is a Norwegian full-service catering company headquartered at Myrerskogveien 12, Oslo, operating as the merged entity of Elvebredden Catering, Romerike Catering, and Lunch & Catering (combined rebrand in 2024). The company runs four production kitchens — Bodø, Follo, Romerike, and Oslo — and delivers prepared food, professional event staff, equipment rental, and venue services for events ranging from intimate private celebrations (weddings, confirmations, birthdays) up to 5,000-guest corporate functions. Customers include private individuals, corporate and public-sector clients (e.g., Nordic Semiconductor, VG, UiO, Oslo kommune/Deichman, DNB Eiendom), sports clubs, and entertainment/production crews, served across a horizontal segmentation spanning personal, business, and institutional use cases.
The core technology consists of an e-commerce ordering platform (flytcatering.no and a dedicated Proffshop storefront for B2B customers) and a self-developed climate accounting system attached to every order, complemented by electric-van delivery and Greenway-supplied Swan-labeled biodegradable packaging. Revenue is generated through unit-priced per-person food catering (e.g., cold buffets at 259–469 NOK, tapas/grill menus at 399–679 NOK per person), hourly staff rental (waiters 699 NOK/hour, bartenders 769 NOK/hour), tiered wedding cakes (3,850–8,250 NOK), equipment rental, and managed venue services including the operated Villa Sandvigen property. Go-to-market is sales-led with direct online ordering, phone/email/chat support, and partnership-driven demand through sports-club member programs and venue alliances.

Flyt competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- ISS A/S: Denmark-headquartered global facility services company with a large Norwegian contract-catering presence serving corporate and public-sector clients. Overlaps with Flyt on enterprise catering but operates at much greater scale and across facilities management rather than event specialisation.
- Fazer Food Services: Nordic food-services arm of Fazer Group providing workplace catering, event catering and food-service contracts across the Nordics. Comparable in menu breadth and customer segments but anchored in Finland/Sweden with broader institutional focus.
- Compass Group: UK-headquartered global contract food-services and support-services group, operating in Norway through Eurest and other sub-brands. Overlaps with Flyt on corporate and event catering but at vastly greater scale and with broader facilities offerings.
- Sodexo: France-based global food services and facilities management company with Norwegian operations serving corporate, public-sector and event clients. Directly comparable on enterprise catering, but operates as a multi-service incumbent rather than an event specialist.
- Aramark: US-headquartered global provider of food, facilities and uniform services with presence across Europe. Overlaps with Flyt on corporate event catering at the high end, with a much broader portfolio of managed services.
Direct peers
- 4Service: Major Norwegian contract catering company providing food services to corporate and public-sector clients across Norway. Closest direct comparison on geography and customer mix, though 4Service leans more toward workplace/cafeteria catering and less toward one-off event services.
- ServeringsPartner: Nordic event and contract catering company operating in Sweden and Norway, delivering buffets, staff and event services. Directly comparable business model to Flyt's event-led catering plus personnel rental offering.
- Brød & Salt: Norwegian artisan bakery and food business offering catering, sandwiches and event buffets in the Oslo region. Comparable as a Norwegian event-catering competitor with overlapping menu categories (koldtbord, tapas, sandwiches) and consumer/corporate customer mix.
Emerging players
- Godt Brød: Norwegian bakery-café chain producing breads, sandwiches and catering offerings in major Norwegian cities. Comparable on Norwegian food production and corporate/consumer catering overlap, though the primary business model is retail bakery.
Others
- Strømma Norway: Norwegian tourism and experience provider (sightseeing, events, venue partnerships) that partners with Flyt for catering services. Listed as a customer/partner rather than a direct competitor, illustrating adjacent venue/experience operators that bundle catering into their offerings.
