Have you had enough of the standard business lunch scenario? Employees return to their cubicles for lunch and eat alone. Alternatively, what if your employees take their vacation time and don’t return to work afterward? Why not hold a luncheon to improve morale or discuss new ideas with your clients? These meetings are almost always held away from the workplace. A good place to have a business lunch is in a restaurant.
That is the way it has always been. What if I told you that you could improve your company’s profitability, empower your staff, and have a fantastic lunch? How might we do it? Catering! Catered Meals are an excellent method to accomplish all of this and more.
If you’re looking for a place to have a business lunch, here are some tips:
1. Choose a restaurant that is centrally located and easy to get to.
2. Make sure the restaurant has a private room or area where you can hold your meeting.
3. Choose a restaurant that has a good reputation for service and food quality.
4. Ask your employees or clients if they have any dietary restrictions.
5. Make a reservation in advance to ensure that you’ll have a table.
6. Decide who will be responsible for paying the bill in advance.
How catering can SAVE you money
The average company spends thousands per year on offering perks to their employees. Lunch today is one of the most expensive expenditures a company spends per quarter. However, if you provide a catered meal, you reap multiple benefits. The typical lunch is $11, whereas the cost is lowered when buying Catered Meals.
Offering catered meals can be tax-deductible!
While most companies find that they can save money on offering lunches off-premises on their yearly taxes, by about half of their total amount spent, offering an on-site catered meal is considered fully tax-deductible! This helps save on your bottom line at the end of each tax year. And we’re willing to bet that using Metro Catering in Boston is worth every penny spent for an excellent lunch at great prices!
The Overall Take On Offering Catered Meals
Offering options like catering bolsters company morale, encourages employees to do more socializing with their peers, keeps your employees at work, and it’s cost-effective! While you might only be able to offer this perk once or twice a week, the benefits are far and away worth it. So don’t forget us when you’re in the market for corporate catering!
