Ordit vs. Fooditude: one kitchen, or 300+ restaurants?

Who cooks, and who chooses. Fooditude is a London contract caterer: its chefs cook from scratch in its central kitchen in South Bermondsey, its own vans deliver, and its front-of-house team can serve a seasonal buffet in the office and clear up afterwards. Ordit is not a caterer but a platform: 300+ London restaurants and caterers cook, Ordit’s own riders take every order first, with vetted courier partners covering overflow at peak, and each person picks their own meal, ASAP in around 30 minutes or in a scheduled group order or catering order.

When the office wants one shared, chef-cooked meal served in its own dining space, with one kitchen accountable for it. Fooditude publishes breakfast, lunch and dinner programmes up to five days a week, menus that change daily over four weeks, a front-of-house team that can serve and clear up, a dedicated operations manager, and pantry, snack and coffee services. If the aim is a staff restaurant without building a kitchen, that model is built for it. Ordit is built for offices where each person chooses their own meal from restaurants they know, orders on the day, or eats at a different time from the rest of the team.

For a Central London office that wants choice rather than one menu, yes. Ordit gives each person the restaurants that deliver to the office within a budget the company sets, ASAP in around 30 minutes, alongside group orders and catering for meetings and events, on one account and one monthly invoice, with no minimum spend and no commitment on the account. Fooditude also publishes a pantry and coffee service and a team that serves on site, so an office that wants those from the same supplier should compare both. Fooditude details reflect what Fooditude publishes, checked November 2026.

The two are priced on different bases. Fooditude publishes a price per head per day (checked November 2026): from £15 for its cold buffet option, and around £27 for breakfast, lunch and snacks for a London office of 100 people, with delivery, staffing and health and safety compliance included. Ordit charges each restaurant’s menu price with no markup, a flat delivery fee (£3.75 + VAT for an individual order, £15 + VAT per restaurant for a group order, £15 including VAT for a catering order) and a 5% + VAT service fee on the monthly total, with no setup fee and no minimum spend on the account. The company sets the meal budget, and anything above it goes on the employee’s own card.

Fooditude says its development chefs make sure each menu accommodates every dietary need and allergy, with allergen signage, a QR-coded label listing every ingredient and a digital menu diners can filter by allergen. On Ordit each person orders their own meal: menus are filterable by vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, halal and kosher, and ingredient and allergen information is shown as each restaurant or caterer provides it. For a severe allergy, confirm directly with the vendor before ordering.

Fooditude cooks in South Bermondsey and says it delivers throughout Greater and Central London. Ordit delivers across 15 Central London postcode areas: E1, E1W, E14, EC1–EC4, W1, WC1–WC2, N1, N1C, NW1, SE1 and SW1, covering the City, Canary Wharf, Shoreditch, the West End and Victoria & Westminster. Fooditude publishes wider London coverage than Ordit’s.
