Office lunch is no longer the realm of floppy corner shop sandwiches or microwaved leftovers at cramped desks. Now, cutting-edge businesses are warming up to gourmet office lunch delivery and turning meal time into an experience that feels a lot like fine dining.
They mirror a grander shift in employee expectations, writ small on the canvas of food culture. This is a workplace benefit: Today’s workers (especially millennials and Gen Z) see both nutrition/quality food as an additional work perk akin to health care or working from home. They want gourmet ingredients, international flavours and an Instagram-worthy lunch that brightens their day.
This has served as a call-to-action for cutting-edge companies offering delivery of premium lunches made with fresh ingredients, customised to your dietary needs and created by actual chefs. Korean bibimbap bowls, Mediterranean mezze platters, plant-based Buddha bowls — you get the idea and they show up to your door looking like something straight out of a restaurant. For Office Lunch Delivery, consider Crumbs Delivered.
These benefits go way beyond a smile on the taste buds. It boosts morale and retention rates by showing that the company is investing in employee wellbeing, from gourmet office meals to subsidised yoga. Productivity (and loyalty) follow when staff feel valued through quality dining experiences.
The gourmet Office Lunch Delivery movement transcends food, after all, and embodies the experience economy: turning even workplace dining into an event capable of luring new employees in with a combined sense of shared group identity. Given how competitive hiring is for talented employees, offering an outstanding dining experience can be the leg up that companies need.
The ability to deliver quality lunch is no longer a convenience but rather an area where the competition tests your business parameters.
