Finding independence, satisfaction and joy in life through work. That is what IG Arbeit Lucerne stands for. We individually support people with mental health challenges through work integration in the open labour market or within IG Arbeit, so that they can regain a foothold in our society.
In the production kitchen of IG Arbeit, we produce and deliver menus, snacks, salads, soups and baked goods made using the cook-and-chill method according to our own concept. Our customers include our Esswerk bistro as well as external staff restaurants, canteens and schools.
In the Esswerk bistro, we offer warm dishes, snacks, salads, soups and baked goods for employees, professionals and external guests. The food is freshly prepared by the production kitchen and served and portioned at lunchtime in the Esswerk bistro. Currently, we sell around 70 meals daily.
