Office lunches are a great way to build relationships at the office, boost morale, and keep your team productive and happy. That said, employees’ varied diets and diverse food preferences can make planning a healthy office lunch a logistical nightmare.

On-demand food delivery systems are good for getting dinner when you’re home alone on a Tuesday night, but aren’t well-designed for group ordering. First you have to saddle some unlucky fellow with the duty of coordinating lunch. Then they have to waste anywhere from fifteen minutes to multiple hours, depending on group size, picking a restaurant everyone can agree on, creating a link for a shared cart, and hunting down everyone’s individual orders. By the time the food finally arrives, you’ve soured that poor coworker on office lunches forever. Yikes.

Since ordering individual meals for a group is a headache, you might think that a traditional buffet lunch is the best solution. Sure, getting a traditional caterer means everyone can make their own plate and no one has to gather orders. That’s great, but what if people don’t like what’s on the menu? They’re left with grumbling stomachs and you’re left with half-full food trays – food waste and wasted money.

Buffet catering is particularly tricky if you have vegans, vegetarians, pescaterians, gluten-free, low-carb, low-fat, or just generally picky eaters on your team. Ordering for conflicting diets is tough when you can only choose so many different dishes. Alternately, everyone likes the same few things, so your employees race to line up for lunch everyday and compete for the best food. Those who are stuck in meetings or finishing up a project are stuck with the picked over remains of what was a good lunch once.
