Kanpla, a sustainable catering startup, raises €8M to expand into Europe and US

In just 18 months, Kampala has transformed from a Danish startup into a multinational software as a service (SaaS) provider, expanding its reach to ten countries across Scandinavia, the United Kingdom, and Benelux. With over 3,000 workplaces and school canteens using its services, Kanpla enables more than 250,000 users to seamlessly interact with canteen menus, check nutritional information, purchase meals, and earn loyalty points.
This rapid growth highlights the demand for digital transformation in the European contract catering sector, where Kanpla's technology enables caterers to provide tailored experiences and manage fluctuating customer numbers while reducing food waste. CEO Peter Bæch commented, "We have seen a significant demand for digital solutions in the European catering industry. Our platform helps caterers provide more personalised experiences, manage changing foot traffic, and minimise food waste."
