As companies navigate the complexities of a post-pandemic world, the strategy for a successful return to in-person work involves more than just rearranging office layouts. A crucial, yet often overlooked component is office catering. Providing high-quality and thoughtful catering options is not merely a perk—it’s a significant contributor to employee satisfaction and engagement. Here’s why office catering is pivotal as businesses encourage their workforce back into office spaces.

According to a CDC study cited by Forbes, “healthy workforces are more productive, cost-effective, and stable.” These work perks, ranging from flexible working conditions to gourmet office food services like FELFEL, not only enhance the attractiveness of a company but are also pivotal in boosting employee morale and productivity. However, the real question remains: Can businesses accurately measure the return on investment (ROI) of these work perks, and how?

Surveys indicate that anywhere from 20 to 30% of employees are less willing to commute to work primarily due to the increased cost of lunches or snacks. Here are some ways businesses can address this issue, making return to office more appealing and financially manageable for their teams.
