The range features breakfast, handmade salads, grain bowls and sandwiches created by the company’s culinary team.
The menu includes carne asada fajita salad, pineapple and toasted coconut chia pudding, key lime yoghurt parfait, butternut squash and sage, autumn beet salad, vegetable ciabatta sandwich, and roast beef.
According to the company, the addition of En Route allows it to enhance clients’ food and beverage options irrespective of the company’s size or employees’ dietary preferences.
Alchemista CEO Christine Marcus said: “For years, companies have been providing food to their employees as a way to reward and retain, as well as to maintain efficiency in the workday by giving them the opportunity to break bread with colleagues but not having to venture offsite to find nourishment.
