Kanpla raises €8M Series A for catering software

Kanpla, a Danish SaaS company advancing the digitisation of the catering industry, has raised an €8M Series A round, led by Dutch venture capital firm HenQ.

The new investment will be used to further accelerate international expansion across Europe and the US.

Kanpla’s platform allows canteens in workplaces and educational institutions to view menus with CO2 emissions and nutritional information, make purchases, earn loyalty points, and provide feedback.

In less than two years, Kanpla has expanded its operations from Denmark to 10 countries across Europe, including Scandinavia, the UK, and Benelux.

"As the workplace culture has changed, we’ve noticed key challenges like increased amounts of food waste, excessive manual work, and disconnected systems.

"We believe software can be a significant enabler in overcoming these issues and aim to position ourselves as the global technology leader in contract catering, helping chefs worldwide save time and creating the best possible customer experience," said Jonas Gøttler, COO & Co-Founder.

"We’ve seen tremendous demand for digital transformation across Europe’s contract catering sector. Our platform is helping caterers deliver more personalized experiences, better manage fluctuating foot traffic, and reduce food waste,” Peter Bæch, CEO & Co-Founder, added.

With a current team of 45, Kanpla also expects to double its workforce over the next year to support its growth ambitions.

"We’ve been excited to witness Kanpla’s success in scaling across multiple countries over the past 18 months. We’re really impressed by their progress which has made us wonder about all the other great things this team can achieve. This has inspired us to lead this round as we have immense confidence in Kanpla and their plans to enter the U.S. market," said Jan Andriessen, Partner at HenQ.
