Stuart Sunderland, founder and CEO of City Pantry, said: “Since Google decided to make their 53rd employee a chef, team lunch has been business as usual for tech start-ups but we’re now seeing it go mainstream, with more and more businesses introducing it as a regular part of their working culture. It’s a growing trend we are seeing, as companies realise that getting teams together over food can help colleagues communicate more easily, which in turn drives the speed of innovation and progress.”
