The Resident Experience Platform vs. The Workplace Food-Service Giant

TULU delivers amenities designed specifically around residents and tenants — rentals, retail, mobility, printing, and services — across multifamily, student housing, office, and hospitality properties. Canteen is one of the largest unattended food-service providers in the U.S., serving corporate workplaces with vending, micro-markets, coffee, and culinary programs.

What Canteen Offers

Canteen provides vending, micro-markets, specialty coffee, pantry service, and culinary programs to corporate workplaces and campuses, backed by more than 95 years in the food-service industry and a footprint spanning 48 states. Canteen's programs are built around employee breakrooms and campus dining, not residential living, and the company does not offer rentals, mobility, printing, or resident-facing services.
