Business Benefits of Providing Office Catering
A well-fed business comes with many benefits, including hitting your sustainability targets. Learn about how you can reduce your spend and have a thriving business through office catering.
Office catering provides a multitude of business benefits, many of which are often overlooked. By partnering with Yummies Office Catering, you can take advantage of an enhanced employee experience and increased business performance. You can also reap reduced spend and fewer supplier contracts, as well as meeting sustainability targets through preferred suppliers.
Increased Business Performance
Productivity Boost
Hungry employees are often distracted and less productive. By providing regular, healthy meals, you ensure your team remains focused and energised throughout the day. A Harvard study found that 64% of employees felt more energetic and 51% reported increased focus and productivity when provided with lunch. Nutritious meals help maintain concentration and drive better performance. You can elevate the workplace experience with Yummies Office Catering and create a happier, more productive workforce.
Fostering Collaboration
Yummies Office Catering offers personalised meal portions that create opportunities for team bonding and collaboration. When employees enjoy their favourite hot meals prepared by a MasterChef finalist, it naturally fosters interaction and teamwork. Sharing meals breaks down departmental barriers and encourages a culture of cooperation and camaraderie.
Reducing Spend and Supplier Contracts
Save Money by Going External
One of the most significant advantages of choosing Yummies is cost savings. By outsourcing your meal provision, you eliminate the need for overheads, staff, kitchen facilities and equipment. It’s both space saving and cost effective.
Simply order your meal boxes through your dedicated POC, and they will be delivered at your convenience. You can even amend them up to 25 hours beforehand, or they can be cancelled up to 72 hours in advance. This helps you manage headcount and costs effectively.
Cost-Effective Gourmet Meals
Yummies offers fresh, nutritious, and seasonal food designed to delight both your taste buds and your budget. With flexible ordering options and a dedicated POC, you can enjoy the benefits of high-quality individual meals without the commitment of lengthy contracts. The flexibility makes budget approval easier, allowing you to order meals as needed.
Our hot meals, designed by MasterChef finalist David Wells, ensure a perfect balance of nutrition and taste. This provides top-quality meals that boost morale and productivity without the hefty price tag. Where else could you possibly get that!
Supporting Your CSR Agenda Through Preferred Suppliers
Push Your Sustainable Agenda
Providing premium hot meals in the workplace is not just a perk; it’s a strategic tool that enhances company culture and aligns with Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). By partnering with Yummies Office Catering, you promote a sustainable agenda, reinforcing your company’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
Yummies uses Vegware cutlery, biodegradable boxes, and adheres to zero waste initiatives; such as partnering with the UK’s leading provider of renewable energy from food waste, to transform our waste into cleaner energy. Our produce is responsibly sourced from local Red Tractor-approved suppliers, aligning with SDGs 3, 8 and 12. In other words, choosing us as your office catering supplier strengthens your business reputation and credentials in sustainability.
Creating Change Through Charity Partnerships
We're committed to making a meaningful impact for both people and the planet. That’s why we proudly donate 1% of our revenue to two incredible causes: 1% for the Planet and Shelter.
1% for the Planet is an organisation that ensures businesses like ours contribute directly to environmental initiatives, helping protect our precious ecosystems, tackle climate change, and promote sustainability around the world. But our charitable donations don’t stop with the environment—we also believe in supporting those most in need. Shelter is a charity that works tirelessly to combat homelessness and poor housing conditions.
Enhancing Employee Experience
Make the Office Attractive Again
Post-pandemic, many employees are resistant to return to the traditional office setup, favouring the flexibility of hybrid work patterns. However, offering office catering can be a powerful incentive. A recent report indicates that 86% of employees would be more likely to come into the office if free food were available. Providing wholesome, individually boxed lunches and delectable desserts can make the commute worthwhile and the office environment more appealing.
Valuing Members and Wellbeing
Offering workplace catering sends a strong message to employees that their wellbeing is a priority. It shows appreciation for their hard work and significantly boosts morale and job satisfaction. When employees feel valued and supported, they are more likely to remain loyal and committed to the company.
With diverse menu choices, Yummies caters to all dietary needs with rotating weekly menus, including meat, fish, vegan, and salad options. Each meal comes with a full allergen breakdown, ensuring everyone in your office can enjoy a delicious and safe meal.
