Why Do Workplace Meals Matter?

1. Demonstrating Staff Appreciation

Providing lunches for your team is a simple gesture with a big return. Employees who are provided lunch at work feel valued, happy and motivated, and managers enjoy a more productive team. Shared meals create opportunities for connection and collaboration. Teams that feel more connected work together better at solving problems and completing tasks. 

2. Boosted Productivity

When meals are provided, your team saves valuable time and energy from having to pack or pick up their lunch. That extra time lets them truly enjoy their lunch break and return to work with renewed energy.

3. Incentivizing Employees to Return to the Office

Many recent studies show that employees are more productive while working in an office, primarily due to the benefits of in person collaboration, access to resources and a stronger sense of team connection. Offering delicious, consistent food options is a strong incentive for employees to return to the office and, and it can also help foster a deeper sense of community.
