Consider adding Ticket Restaurant to your benefits package

A common occurrence during the pandemic was that many people gained weight. More than 60 percent of adults said they had gained unwanted weight since the pandemic began, according to an American Psychological Association survey. On average, people gained 29 pounds.

Whether you’re serving remote workers or employees coming back to the office, many businesses have created healthier eating arrangements for their employees to help them lose weight and keep it off.

Virtual cafeterias are serving the hybrid workforce

Virtual cafeterias have found an ideal spot in the back-to-work plans for many offices. With companies having to serve both office employees and those working remotely, the idea of having a full restaurant menu available for anyone is a significant benefit.

While there’s no standard setup for a virtual cafeteria arrangement, it can allow for individual choice. Some companies are paying for home delivery services for at-home employees. Others pay for meals ordered off a platform like an Uber Eats. Some companies have deliveries that come to the office. In general, the virtual cafeteria offers flexibility and convenience, which is exactly what companies and employees want.

A centralized program to feed all employees

Edenred Benefits’ Ticket Restaurant is ideal for helping companies set up virtual cafeterias. The prepaid meal allowance card allows companies to dictate where and when the meals can be purchased. Employees benefit from having approved meals paid for by their employer, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

The Ticket Restaurant program will provide enough choices, so employees are not skipping meals and threatening productivity. Having food choices as a work perk or benefit is a great way to attract and retain top talent. With something as simple as a debit card swipe, you also create employee engagement as your workers know you want them to lead healthy lives.
