MealPe Online Food Ordering POS Pvt Ltd – Revolutionizing Corporate Dining for a Leading IT Company

Client Overview

A leading IT company in Ahmedabad with a workforce of 650 employees was based in a co-working space. This arrangement presented unique challenges when it came to providing meals for its team, as there was no dedicated in-house cafeteria. However, the CXOs of the company were determined to offer a meal subsidy as part of their employee benefits package without the added complexity of hiring a food program manager.

Challenges

The company faced several challenges in fulfilling its corporate meal goals:

1. Lack of a Dedicated Cafeteria: The co-working environment did not have a cafeteria or kitchen to cater to team lunches.
2. No Food Program Manager: The company was not looking to appoint a full-time food program manager to oversee the logistics of daily meal preparation.
3. Meal Variety & Quality: Employees had diverse food preferences, making it difficult to offer a one-size-fits-all meal solution through traditional catering options.
4. Team Engagement: With many employees working remotely, there was a growing need to improve team cohesion and encourage more workers to return to the office.

MealPe’s Solution

MealPe Online Food Ordering POS Pvt Ltd was brought on board to implement their innovative Corporate Meal Solution, which is designed to provide corporate catering without the need for an in-house cafeteria. MealPe’s solution involved:

• Curated Restaurant Menus: MealPe worked with the client to hand-pick and curate a daily-changing restaurant menu, offering a wide range of meals tailored to the employees’ tastes.
• App-Based Ordering: Employees were given access to MealPe’s app, where they could view the daily menu and place their individual orders by 11:00 AM.
• Bulk Delivery: MealPe coordinated bulk delivery from multiple restaurants, ensuring meals were delivered fresh and on time by 1:00 PM.
• “Order Individually, Eat as a Team” Model: Employees ordered individually but shared their lunch break as a team, fostering a collaborative dining experience that enhanced team culture.

Results & Impact

Implementing MealPe’s Corporate Meal Solution resulted in several tangible benefits for the client:

1. Increased Office Attendance: The convenience of the meal program encouraged more employees working from home to return to the office, leading to a marked increase in office attendance.
2. Productivity Boost: The company saw a 20% increase in productivity, attributed to employees feeling more engaged, well-fed, and motivated throughout the workday.
3. Enhanced Team Culture: MealPe’s solution provided a unique opportunity for employees to “eat as a team”, fostering a stronger sense of unity and camaraderie within the office. Shared meal times became a platform for informal discussions, enhancing communication and collaboration across teams.
4. Cost-Efficiency: MealPe’s service provided restaurant-quality meals at corporate catering costs, eliminating the need for the client to manage food logistics internally or hire additional personnel.
5. Positive Employee Feedback: Employees enjoyed the diversity of meal options available through the app, leading to higher satisfaction levels. The flexibility and ease of ordering contributed to a more positive work environment.
