The lunch break and smart canteens

Are you tired of your employees leaving the office to grab lunch and coming back feeling stressed and rushed?

Do your employees find themselves skipping lunch breaks altogether just to save time?

This is impacting their job satisfaction and productivity.

"Employee satisfaction is directly linked to productivity and performance. In fact, satisfied employees are more likely to have higher job performance and stay with their employer longer."

But how does lunch break fit into this equation?

Lunch breaks are essential for employees as they provide a time for rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation. Here are some reasons why lunch breaks are important:

Lunch breaks give employees a chance to recharge their batteries and replenish their energy levels. This can help reduce stress, improve mental health, and prevent burnout.

According to a survey conducted by Statista, the average German employee spends around 30 minutes outside of the office, to collect food during their lunch break.

This means that employees are spending valuable time being stuck in long lines or searching for food options.

To increase employee satisfaction during lunch breaks, companies can leverage technology trends such as:

Companies can implement smart canteen technology that allows employees to order and pay for their meals using a mobile app or kiosk. This can reduce waiting times and increase convenience for employees. Additionally, smart canteens can provide personalized recommendations based on employees' dietary preferences and past orders, making it easier for employees to make healthier choices.

Companies can offer VR dining experiences that allow employees to "travel" to different parts of the world and experience different cultures during their lunch break. This can be a fun and unique way for employees to unwind and take a mental break from work.

Companies can gamify lunch breaks by using apps or platforms that encourage healthy eating and socializing with colleagues. For example, employees could earn points for ordering healthy meals or for eating with coworkers, which could be redeemed for rewards or recognition.

Technology can play a significant role in improving employee satisfaction during lunch breaks by offering greater convenience, personalization, and engagement.
