Remote work or back at the office: find out why you should order your meals!
17 de September, 2020
What if we told you that, compared to today’s figures, three years ago only a third of Portuguese ordered their meals online? Yes, the world is changing, but you only have to pay attention to realize that some things are eternal. After all, what would a good get-together be without something to stave off hunger?
Family get-togethers, lunch breaks at the office, commemorative dates, outings with friends and even business proposals. The likelihood of finding a quick meal or snack in all these scenarios is incredibly high, and it’s no coincidence! The truth is that food is much more than meeting our physiological needs. It is an element of aggregation and social interaction that should not be overlooked. In this article, we’ll give you all the reasons you need to value your meals and explain how you can make them even more special by choosing to order in, whether you’re back in the office or teleworking!
- Keeping things together at a distance
At a time when companies are looking for solutions to deal with the challenge of having their employees working remotely, it’s becoming even more difficult to keep teams together. After all, physical contact no longer exists and, with it, coffee breaks, lunches in the pantry and all the extra-work interactions that used to make us find common ground. Why not use mealtimes to compensate for physical distancing? The truth is that by seeing food as an element of social interaction, we get a more human experience out of it. Keep taking your lunch breaks with your teammates, virtually! You can even go to the same restaurant. By ordering in! - Back to work? That’s fine!
Returning to the workplace doesn’t mean that everything is back to normal. There are measures to be adopted that impact on the way we worked before lockdown and which are difficult to implement. After all, fighting habit has never been easy! We know you probably wonder what your lunch hours will be like, the queues for the microwave or the full pantry. Why not order your lunch? The truth is, if everyone does it regularly, the sharing of appliances is reduced and lunchtime can even be spent outdoors, or even at each other’s desks. No contact, but lots of closeness! - Take advantage of the lessons learned during lockdown
If, on the one hand, the lockdown meant you had to move away from the workplace and your teammates, on the other, it meant you had a lot more time for your family. Don’t let going back mean going backwards! If you let your old habits and routines take hold indiscriminately, there’s a good chance you’ll go back to not enjoying your free time with those you love the most. After all, between getting home, dealing with the daily chores, the kids, dinner and the next day’s meals, there’s no time left to really enjoy your free time. Reducing the time you spend preparing a meal and cleaning the kitchen is a great start and ordering in is a great help! - Ordering your meals is a way of helping
We are often unaware of the impact that our small actions can have on others. Have you ever thought that by ordering your meals, you are contributing not only to boosting the economy, but also to a business that supports many families? Basically, by choosing to order in, you do less work, enjoy a delicious meal and help others!
Nowadays, the process of ordering a meal at home, at work or even in a public place is very simple and practical. There are applications, such as MB WAY, that make remote payment easier and faster.
