Why Catering Breakfast Could Be a Game Changer for Your Business

As a business owner or manager, you’re always looking for ways to boost employee morale, increase productivity, and create a positive work environment. One often overlooked strategy is providing catered breakfasts for your team. Let’s explore why offering breakfast could be a game changer for your business.

The Morning Rush and Hungry Employees

Picture this: your employees rushing to get ready, dealing with morning chores, or battling rush-hour traffic. They arrive at work stressed and hungry. According to the National Institutes of Health recent research, as many as 45.8% of workers skip breakfast on one or more days per week. But what if you could step in and provide breakfast? Here’s why it matters:

• Time Constraints: Many workers skip breakfast because they don’t have enough time to prepare a meal before leaving for work. Whether they’re last-minute snoozers or early-morning exercisers, time is often too tight to sit down and eat.
• Post-Pandemic Habits: Remote work during the pandemic allowed flexibility, but now people are returning to pre-pandemic routines. Long commutes, structured working hours, and limited office kitchens make it challenging to find time for breakfast.

Boosting Productivity and Morale

Skipping breakfast doesn’t just hurt individuals; it can also affect your company’s bottom line. When employees don’t eat breakfast, their metabolism could slow down, leading to sluggishness and reduced productivity. In fact, 67% of employees believe that skipping breakfast affects their productivity.

So, how can you turn everyone into a morning person and boost productivity?

• Complimentary Breakfast: Set aside time for arriving workers to enjoy a complimentary breakfast of healthy food. Sharebite can help facilitate this with local restaurants to provide nutritious options.
• Morning Meetings: Replace glazed-over looks during morning meetings with glazed donuts. A well-fed team is more focused and energized.
• Less Tardiness: This ensures the majority of the workforce arrives around the same time. When everyone is at the office and ready to work this leads to coworkers being more in-sync with each other and can lead to increased levels of productivity and output.
• Employee Appreciation: Offering an employer provided complimentary breakfasts shows you care about your workforce. This can motivate your teams to be more productive throughout the day by removing one barrier that can slow them down or make them feel a bit peckish, which is hunger.

Fostering Teamwork and Office Culture

Beyond productivity, breakfast catering can foster teamwork and improve office culture:

• Socializing Opportunity: Breakfast gatherings allow employees to come together, socialize, and maybe even become friends outside of the office. It’s a small gesture that goes a long way in improving office dynamics.
• Variety and Choice: Offering a wide range of menu items ensures there’s something for everyone’s tastes and dietary requirements. Sharebite could curate diverse breakfast options, catering to different preferences.
