PREMIUM HOSPITALITY & FOOD SERVICES · CARTAGENA, COLOMBIA

Someone has to answer for your people's lunch.

We operate daily food service for plants, corporate offices, clinics and universities in Cartagena. Every commitment carries a written consequence, and every month you receive a report that includes what went wrong — not only what went well.

In Colombia, your supplier's labour practices become your exposure.

We hire directly, with full social security from the first shift, without intermediate structures. It is not a differentiator we invented: it is the law, and a significant part of this sector does not comply with it.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK

What Colombian regulation lets you demand — and what we hand over.

  • Valid sanitary licence for the production site
  • Food-handling certificates for every operator
  • Documented cold and hot chain control
  • Batch traceability and retention samples
  • Public liability insurance including product coverage
  • Written sanitary crisis protocol

What to require, point by point

On certificationOn HACCP, be direct with every supplier including us: ask for the certificate number, the certifying body and the expiry date. Food safety and order are a pillar of our ecosystem: our processes are designed on HACCP principles, with preventive controls, traceability and monitored critical points, and certification is on route. That is what we declare, and it is what you can audit before you sign.

Not every company needs the same thing, or at the same time.

Some need tomorrow's lunch solved. Some need an event on Friday. Some need a three-year contract with monthly reporting. The divisions exist so you are not forced to buy what you do not need.

A guarantee with no written consequence is an adjective.

Every supplier promises quality. Almost none writes down what happens on the day they fail to deliver it. Our guarantees go into the contract, each with its verification mechanism and its consequence — and the consequence has a ceiling, because a promise without a limit will not hold, and you deserve to know that before signing.

The full Shield — each guarantee with its mechanism, its consequence and its limit of liability — is delivered inside the proposal, reviewed by our lawyer. We do not publish it on the web: a contractual clause is not read outside the contract that contains it.

We are not asking you to trust us. We are giving you what to verify.

BEFORE YOU SIGN

Before you hire SAVIA, put us to the test.

A new service experience, backed by real experience.

We won't ask you to trust us on a reference list. We propose something more solid: check us yourself.

  • Review our operating model.
  • Read our quality and food-safety protocols.
  • Meet our team.
  • Verify our indicators.
30 days
To see how we perform before a long commitment, start with a 30-day pilot you can exit without penalty.

We are not promising SAVIA is the best. We are giving you the chance to find out.

Less risk for you. More accountability for us.

SAVIA: what nourishes, transforms.

The same tax treatment. With data the voucher cannot give you.

Payments a company makes to a third party for its people's meals are not taxable income for the employee, within the limits of article 387-1 of the Colombian Tax Code. That treatment applies to a meal voucher and to an operated canteen alike.

The difference sits elsewhere: with a card you hand over money and learn nothing more. You do not know what your people ate, you cannot move a health indicator, and the benefit turns into spending at the corner shop. We use the same tax treatment, and we return per-employee data and a measured intervention on the days your team loses to common illness.

A short film on why the company exists, who stands behind every plate, and what it means to run a hotel-grade standard in a kitchen serving hundreds of meals a day.

You do not have to call us today.

Are we exposed to our supplier's labour liabilities in Colombia?

Yes. Colombian law establishes joint liability of the contracting company for the labour and social-security obligations of its contractors. A provider that hires by the day or through intermediaries to reduce payroll charges is transferring that exposure onto your balance sheet, where your parent company's audit will find it.

We hire directly, with full social security from the first shift and no intermediate structures. It is not a differentiator we invented — it is the law, and a significant part of this sector does not comply with it. Ask any bidder for payroll evidence, not for a statement.

How we hire

How much does the service cost?

We do not publish prices, because a price per meal quoted without knowing the operation is an invented number: it depends on volume, time windows, menu type, site logistics and special diets. You receive a proposal with pricing within 48 hours of the assessment visit.

Request the assessment

What is the minimum headcount to contract a canteen?

Daily food service under contract starts from 20 employees. If you would rather not sign a contract, DAILY delivery starts from 15 people per order, placed by 4:00 p.m. the previous day. The two minimums measure different things — headcount on one side, order size on the other — because they are different operations.

And if your company is smaller than that? There is still a way in: the events line has no headcount minimum and covers what a small company usually needs — a board meeting, a client visit, a celebration, a month-end close. Write to us with the date and the headcount, even if it is eight.
