5 reasons to swap meal vouchers for corporate lunch catering

Giving people meal vouchers or sending them money to their account is the easiest way. But what happens at lunchtime? The team scatters to five different bistros nearby, half the people order expensive delivery, and the rest quickly gobble down a reheated meal from home at their desks.

While a meal allowance is a nice perk, your company won't get the most out of it. Here are 5 reasons why it makes much more sense to arrange lunches through shared corporate catering.

‍

1. Real teambuilding happens at the table

The best ideas don't come from planned meetings, but over coffee or, indeed, over lunch. When you provide food directly in the office, you create a natural hub where people from different departments can meet – people who might otherwise only talk by the printer. A shared lunch bonds the team much better and more naturally than forced corporate events once a quarter.

2. End to afternoon fatigue and 'food comas'

While classic Czech lunches are nice, after a svíčková or heavy meat with dumplings, the team is useless for the next two hours. This is the principle behind our corporate catering in Prague. Asian fusion cuisine is full of fresh vegetables, light sauces, rice, and quality proteins. People eat well but don't leave feeling tired. On the contrary, they recharge their energy for the entire afternoon.

3. Save people time (and the stress of paying)

Figuring out where to go for lunch every day, reserving a table on time, and then waiting in line with half of Karlín can be quite annoying. Especially when an hour flies by, and you return to work stressed. With lunch catering, this problem disappears. The food arrives fresh directly to you, with 100% quality and exactly on time.

4. Variety that keeps people engaged

Eating the same menu from the restaurant around the corner every week quickly gets boring. Modern, tailor-made catering can be incredibly varied. One day it might be crispy Katsu schnitzel or creamy Butter Chicken, the next a hearty Asian soup with wok noodles, and on Friday, perhaps a proper Chilli con Carne. Plus, we can easily cover vegetarian and vegan options or various intolerances, so no one goes hungry.

5. A strong argument for recruiting new talent

Regular corporate lunches are a huge draw for young talent today. They show that you care about your people and how they feel at work. In a job market where almost everyone offers home office, a fantastic company culture built around great food is a huge competitive advantage.
