“The shortest way to the heart is through the stomach.” Understanding this, companies often adopt benefit policies that show care and concern for employees through delicious, quality office lunches, giving everyone in the company peace of mind at work without the daily “headache” of “what to eat” and “where to eat” at noon. Ordering office meals brings many benefits to businesses in general and employees in particular. Below are the difficulties company employees face when ordering office meals. Let's explore them in detail with STAVI!

What is an office meal?

Office meals are meals provided at the workplace, especially in large offices. These meals are usually designed to meet employees' dining needs after each hard-working shift, helping them save time and energy to keep on working. Office catering is the optimal solution for busy people who have no time to cook and rest. In the article below, STAVI would like to introduce the benefits of using office meals.

What difficulties arise when ordering office meals?

What do you eat for lunch: cook and bring your own, eat out, or order delivery to the office? These are the usual choices for office workers when the company has no canteen. Whichever option you choose, you still have to think about what to eat today, where to eat, which dish to pick... Through customer surveys, STAVI has identified the following difficulties with lunch:

Insufficient nutrition

Office workers tend to want a quick lunch and so pay little attention to nutrition; many eat carelessly just to get through the meal or turn to fast food, leading to a shortage of the nutrient groups the body needs. When this happens regularly, it affects health, causing distraction and sluggishness at work.

In addition, at large companies, letting employees fend for themselves at lunch makes it hard for managers to monitor and ensure employees' well-being through their meals. The HR department also cannot closely assess whether meals provide enough nutrition for the body to maintain the best working capacity.

Inconsistent meal quality

Ordering food from outside without a fixed supplier also leads to inconsistent meal quality. Each eatery has its own menu bank and prices. This can lead to dissatisfaction among office workers.

Rising meal costs

An ordinary office lunch usually ranges from VND 30,000 - 40,000 per portion. In some inner-city areas of Hanoi or provincial centers, lunch costs over VND 50,000 for a meal with a drink. Lunch in these areas is more expensive because of high rents and food prices combined with high order volumes.

Lack of menu variety

Eateries usually rotate the same menu and rarely change their main dishes. As a result, the dishes are not varied, and eating there for a few weeks to a few months easily leads to boredom. The headache of what to eat for lunch today, where to eat and timing the order also affects office workers.

Time-consuming

Employees who bring their own lunch to the office have to plan a menu for each day and prepare it the night before or get up early in the morning to bring it along. Those who have to go out to eat also lose quite a lot of time and therefore get no rest or relaxation after working hours. This leaves everyone more tired when afternoon work begins, and it is hard to concentrate on the job.

Those who order delivery to the office face late deliveries and deliveries that do not arrive at the desired time, spoiling their lunch. Many have to order from 10 a.m. to avoid the peak-hour rush and receive their food in time for lunch. On top of that, delivery fees rise at lunchtime, pushing the price of each meal up considerably. Especially on rainy, hot or holiday days, it may be impossible to order because no drivers accept the order.

Food safety and hygiene issues

Young people today tend to order through apps for convenience, but this carries many risks. Beyond the diverse, tasty food on offer, online food businesses may be informal and lack food safety and hygiene certificates.

In addition, hygiene during food delivery is hard to guarantee, as drivers have no storage cabinets. Styrofoam food containers also contain many toxic substances that are harmful to health when eating products stored in them.

To resolve these difficulties, companies regularly need to establish clear contracts with restaurants or industrial catering providers, to ensure that requirements on quality, variety, price and delivery time are clearly defined and properly complied with. In this way, the company can look after its employees' well-being, sustain their health and improve work efficiency.
