Is your office lunch programme a sales pitch for working from home?
If your current office lunch could talk, what would it say? Something like: “I don’t care about your employees”?
Many companies struggle with:
- Bland, repetitive lunches that nobody really looks forward to.
- Lunch that arrives too late – or lukewarm and messy.
- Little consideration for allergies, vegetarians, vegans, and other preferences.
- Office leads drowning in coordination with kitchens and suppliers.
- CFOs who lack visibility on costs and are locked into long contracts.
The result? People leaving earlier, choosing remote work, and a lunch break that should be the office’s friendliest gathering place turns into a daily annoyance.
A manager who cuts corners on lunch might as well write “go home” on the office door. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
