WhyQ Is Quietly Transforming How Singapore Offices Feed Their Teams - One Meal at a Time

With workplace well-being and employee retention taking centre stage, this homegrown startup is helping HR teams reimagine corporate meals -with less admin and more impact.

In a city that thrives on efficiency, WhyQ, a fast-growing Singaporean startup, is carving out a niche by simplifying one of the most underestimated parts of office life: food.
From daily office meals and event catering to pantry restocks, WhyQ is helping HR professionals and office managers effortlessly manage meals for entire teams -without the usual chaos of vendor hunting, last-minute calls, or dietary complaints. And the timing couldn't be better.

Why Food at Work Matters More Than Ever: Post-pandemic, workplaces are evolving -but one thing remains constant: food is still a powerful tool for employee engagement.
According to a 2024 study by Gallup, 76% of employees say small perks like team meals influence their sense of belonging at work. Another report by SHRM found that companies offering consistent food programs experienced a 16% improvement in retention and 22% higher employee satisfaction.
"Office meals used to be just a convenience. Now, they're part of workplace strategy. HR teams are stretched thin, yet expected to enhance culture, streamline operations, and boost morale. That's where we come in -we take the food operations completely off their plate." says Varun and Rishabh, Founders of WhyQ.

Built for HRs. Backed by Tech: Unlike traditional caterers, WhyQ offers a tech-enabled platform that gives companies full control over their food programs -from scheduling meals to tracking consumption, customizing menus, and accessing analytics on employee preferences.

Here's how WhyQ helps companies win:
1. Recurring Meal Plans: Fully managed daily lunches tailored to dietary needs, team sizes & timing.
2. Event Catering: Buffet spreads, high tea, team bonding menus & training day meals -all curated & delivered with setup.
3. Pantry Management: Weekly delivery of snacks, beverages & fruits, with full stock planning and analytics.
4. Custom Dashboards: HRs can view usage data, preferences, budgets, and more -all in one place.

This corporate catering platform already serves over 100,000 meals monthly across Singapore and works with 400+ food partners, giving clients access to diverse cuisines and flexible pricing -whether it's a team of 20 or 2,000.

Startup Roots, Corporate Reliability: Founded in 2017, WhyQ originally began as a hawker food delivery service before pivoting to B2B catering in response to a growing gap: corporates needed meals, but they didn't want the mess of managing it.

Since then, WhyQ has become a go-to for both local startups and MNCs across Singapore's business hubs. To date, WhyQ has partnered with hundreds of F&B vendors across cuisines, ensuring variety and quality -whether it's a themed lunch, bento box, or a pantry stocked for the week.
"HRs today are not just managing people, they're managing experiences," adds Varun and Rishabh, Co-Founders of WhyQ.
"And food plays a big part in how employees feel. We're here to make that experience seamless, scalable, and meaningful -without adding to the admin workload."
