Flexible work environments require flexible meal solutions
When your team is working in a variety of locations and time zones, it’s important to facilitate meal breaks so employees can come back to their desks recharged. So how to order lunch for remote employees?
With more than 500,000 merchants and a wide range of delivery options, flexibility is a key element to DoorDash for Business. Employees can manage their food schedule and decide ahead of time when their order will arrive, allowing them to enjoy a meal whenever works best for their individual calendars. They can also manage their dietary restrictions or preferences by ordering their own meals, so even the most unique craving can be easily satisfied.
Food delivery is the ideal answer for expensing meals
Employee food and meal programs are becoming a popular benefit and part of many wellness packages. But as businesses grow and thrive, so does the probability of administrative headaches when receipts are lost or payment methods are not accepted, as well as the difficulty of coordinating a meal offering everyone will like. Offering employees flexible ordering stipends for weekly or monthly expensed meals lets them choose from their favorite restaurant and have their meals delivered wherever they work.
Businesses manage the budget and can specify approved times and locations for each employee order. For instance, admins can approve $15 for lunch whenever employees order delivery to the corporate office address. Submitting a receipt is not required, as the details are stored in the employer’s DoorDash for Business centralized admin portal.
DoorDash for Business allows you to easily manage meal credits for several team members through a single interface. With the addition of DashPass for Employees, teammates receive unlimited $0 delivery and reduced service fees, making this a great perk for in-office, remote, hybrid, or virtual teams.

Sharing a meal together can also increase company culture and strengthen relationships between employees as you get to know other team members while you dine together, even through a screen.
