In food processing, everything revolves around safety, speed and reliability. Whether it’s storing and delivering meals or washing large volumes of crockery, smooth logistics are key. At Engels, we understand the challenges of the hospitality sector and offer practical solutions that make a real difference. In this blog, discover how our products help streamline hygienic and efficient food logistics.
For restaurants delivering by scooter or bicycle, food safety isn’t optional, it’s essential. Hot dishes need to stay hot, and cold meals must remain chilled until they reach the customer. Engels offers dedicated transport solutions that make food delivery safe, hygienic and practical.
Our scooter and bike are securely mounted to the rear of the vehicle and built for intensive daily use. Made from durable plastic, they are lightweight, easy to clean, and resistant to wear. For temperature-sensitive deliveries, we also offer double-walled insulated versions – ideal for keeping meals at the right temperature throughout the journey.
Prefer a delivery backpack?
Our insulated is a popular solution for bicycle deliveries. It features 8 mm foam insulation and adjustable shelves that allow you to transport hot and cold items separately – without affecting one another.
Designed for daily use, the backpack includes padded shoulder straps, a hip belt for added stability, and reflective elements on all sides for visibility. Practical features like side pockets for order slips or payment terminals and oversized zip pulls (usable with gloves) make this a user-friendly option for couriers.
Add your branding to every delivery
Want your logo on the bag or box? Both backpacks and delivery boxes can be customised with your company branding. It’s a professional touch that turns every delivery into brand visibility on the streets. Major chains like Domino’s Pizza, New York Pizza and Thuisbezorgd already use our delivery solutions, but smaller restaurants are equally welcome, orders start from just one unit.

A safe chain from kitchen to customer
With Engels’ insulated bags and boxes, you ensure every delivery meets hygiene and safety requirements. Whether you're delivering hot pasta, cold sushi, or complete meals, our solutions help you comply with food safety regulations and enhance customer satisfaction.
In the Netherlands, restaurants delivering chilled or frozen food must register their activities with the NVWA (Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority). This often happens automatically via the KVK (Chamber of Commerce in NL), but it’s your responsibility to ensure the registration is correct.
If you handle meat, fish or dairy, you may also need an additional permit for transport and storage. This confirms that your business operates according to official food safety standards – which are regularly inspected.
How do I keep food at the right temperature during delivery?
In addition to permits, maintaining correct temperatures is critical. Chilled products must not exceed 7 °C, and hot meals should stay above 60 °C. Reliable insulated containers are essential for meeting these standards.
Insulated and thermal boxes
Looking to deliver food safely and professionally? Engels’ are purpose-designed for cold chain logistics. They are ideal for items like salads, dairy or frozen goods and help maintain low temperatures throughout delivery.
For mixed deliveries (both hot and cold), our are the solution. Built with high-quality insulation, they keep hot items hot and cold items cold – no matter what’s on the menu.
In short: with the right permit and the right box, your restaurant is fully prepared for reliable and hygienic food delivery.
Caterers handle large volumes of crockery and glassware every day. A smooth wash cycle starts with choosing the right racks. Engels offers a full range of professional dishwasher racks, all in 500 x 500 mm format, tailored for the hospitality industry.
