Software (SaaS)
A Cyber City food court and a Manesar shift canteen can run on the same system.
In Delhi NCR, MealPe leads with capability centres, corporate headquarters, IT parks, factories and warehousing. Gurugram's Cyber City and Golf Course Road and Noida's Sector 62 hold the capability centres, Manesar and Bawal the auto plants, and the KMP Expressway belt the warehouses that run round-the-clock shifts.
NCR concentrates capability centres, corporate headquarters, auto plants and warehousing. Here is how MealPe fits each.
There is no seaport here, so this covers IGI Airport and the freight terminals at Tughlakabad and Dadri.
Canteens that keep pace with round-the-clock crews
Is a staff canteen mandatory in Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh?
Yes, where 100 or more workers, including contract labour, are ordinarily employed; the threshold is in section 24 of the OSH Code, in force since 21 November 2025. Uttar Pradesh notified final OSH rules on 27 August 2026. Haryana published revised drafts in May 2026, and Delhi's rules were reported at draft stage in October 2026.
The OSH (Central) Rules, 2026 were notified on 8 May 2026. States make their own rules for establishments they regulate. Meal tax rules are national: see canteen and meal rules across India.

Questions from teams in Delhi NCR
NCR teams usually ask whether one setup can span Delhi, Gurugram and Noida, how the canteen rule differs across the three states, how Cyber City food courts and Manesar messes run, and how warehouses are handled. The answers below are specific to NCR, with legal points linked to their sources.
Can one MealPe setup cover Delhi, Gurugram and Noida?
Yes. All NCR sites run on the same MealPe platform, whether they are offices in Connaught Place and Nehru Place, capability centres in Cyber City, IT parks in Noida and Greater Noida or plants in Manesar, Bawal and Faridabad. Each site keeps its own vendors and menus, and the company works with one system instead of a different POS at every counter.
Do canteen rules differ between Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh?
The canteen threshold is the same everywhere: 100 or more workers, including contract labour, under section 24 of the OSH Code. What differs is the detail in state rules. Uttar Pradesh notified final OSH rules on 27 August 2026, Haryana's were at revised-draft stage from May 2026, and Delhi's were reported at draft stage in October 2026.
How does MealPe run food courts in Cyber City and Noida towers?
MealPe Digital Cafeteria puts every vendor in the building on one ordering system. Employees order and pay by app or QR, and settlement to each vendor is automatic. Capability centres can add pre-ordering and subsidy controls for their own staff, which suits the multi-tenant towers of Cyber City, Golf Course Road and Noida's Sector 62.
Can MealPe run plant messes in Manesar, Bawal and Faridabad?
Yes. MealPe Mess Manager runs fixed meal plans for shift messes, with biometric or RFID meal verification and billing in place of paper registers. Contract caterers keep cooking while MealPe records meals by shift. For new plants and workforce housing near Manesar and Bawal, MealPe can also plan the mess, bring in vendors and run it end to end.
Does MealPe serve warehouses along the KMP Expressway?
Yes. Warehouses around Farrukhnagar, Luhari and Bilaspur, and the freight terminals at Tughlakabad and Dadri, run long shifts for pickers, loaders and drivers. MealPe sets up shift canteens with round-the-clock meal access by QR, card or RFID, and can add boxed meals and tea contracts for crews who cannot leave the floor.
Talk to MealPe about a site in Delhi, Gurugram, Noida or anywhere in NCR
Tell MealPe how many people you feed across NCR, in which shifts, and what runs at the counter today. The team replies by phone, WhatsApp or email and can digitise an existing canteen, set up a new cafeteria or mess, or run the operation for sites in Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.
MealPe's ten regional pages share one platform, so employers with sites in NCR and other states can run them together. The nearest regions to Delhi NCR are Indore & Central India and Ahmedabad & GIFT City. Every regional page lists its own cities, industries and canteen rules, and links back to the full locations list.
