Singapore’s homegrown food-tech company, WhyQ, is set to revolutionise corporate dining with the launch of its AI-driven platform, “WhyQ Intelligence,” in Q3 2026. Founded in 2016, WhyQ has evolved from digitalising Singapore’s hawker heritage to becoming a leading Business to Business (B2B) corporate dining operator, managing high-volume meal deployments across key business hubs.
WhyQ currently partners with over 500 merchants, delivering more than 2,500 meals daily. The company specialises in corporate meal programmes for 50 to 1,000 employees, offering budgets from S$8 to S$25 per meal. The platform combines hawker favourites with curated restaurant brands to provide nutritionally balanced menus.
The new AI platform aims to transform corporate catering from a mere expense into a strategic workplace tool. It offers personalised nutrition tracking, AI-powered meal recommendations, and gamified wellness scoring for employees. For HR leaders, it provides a dashboard linking meal participation with attendance and engagement trends, alongside automated audits for dietary requirements.
Co-Founder and CEO Varun Saraf stated, “WhyQ Intelligence bridges the gap between cafeteria logistics and data-backed employee wellness. We design customised menus that balance taste, nutrition, and operational efficiency.”
Food safety remains a priority, with rigorous audits and a strict four-hour protocol from cooking to consumption. Co-Founder and COO Rishabh Singhvi emphasised, “Corporate catering requires accountability, not just aggregation. We’ve built a ‘safety-first’ logistics engine.”
Approximately 20% of WhyQ’s volume comes from hawker partners, with the rest from curated brands like SaladStop! and KFC. The platform’s operational discipline and focus on food safety have enabled WhyQ to retain major enterprise accounts.
