Our New Innovation Kitchen – Glød
Glød is our new food innovation lab, which opened in autumn 2026, where chefs and colleagues come together to learn, develop and explore the art of gastronomy. Here, new ideas, ingredients and meal solutions are developed and tested – from concept to plate.
The name Glød symbolises the spark that emerges when people come together, share knowledge and challenge one another.
SMAG – Our Gastronomic DNA
In 2025–2026, we at Compass Group developed our own cookbook: SMAG. Written by our own chefs, it serves as our foundational guide to plant-based cooking.
The book brings together the knowledge, techniques and craftsmanship that bring depth, balance and umami to vegetables, legumes and spices. It represents our shared DNA for great taste – across 350 canteens throughout Denmark.
People at the Heart of Great Service Experiences
At Compass Group, everything starts with people. Our employees are the foundation of a successful service business, which is why their well-being is a top priority. We want Compass Group to be a great place to work.
We are a member of the Confederation of Danish Industry (DI), which means that all our operational employees are covered by collective agreements, ensuring fair pay, working hours and other employment conditions.
We support our kitchen staff through professional development, enabling them to continuously refine their craft and strengthen their skills.
The Organic Cuisine Label
We work with all our clients to achieve the Organic Cuisine Label, which indicates the proportion of purchased food and beverages that are organic.
In 2025, we had achieved a total of 209 Organic Cuisine Labels, with an organic share of 33.3%.
Our Food Excellence & Food Innovation Teams
We have dedicated teams in place to ensure a high professional and gastronomic standard across our canteens. Our dedicated innovation team works to develop the plate of the future, enabling us to deliver on the latest trends and developments in gastronomy.
