The Challenge

Clune Construction is a general contracting company with offices across the U.S. Its D.C. office had been rewarding and incentivizing their hard-working staff of 119 with “Free Lunch Mondays,” but the time spent finding restaurants with food that appealed to everyone was a job in itself. Plus, they needed flexibility to choose individually packaged lunches one day and family-style meals the next.

Wasted food that didn't cater to all preferences

While “Free Lunch Mondays” were popular around the office, people didn’t always enjoy the selections, or too much food was left over.

Too much time looking for the right restaurants

Variety was a top concern, but finding new places to order from took hours away from the office manager’s already stretched-thin schedule.

A lack of flexible catering options

Sometimes Clune needs individually packaged meals for weekly free lunch. Other times they need trays of breakfast for early morning trainings or meetings.

Before Relish by ezCater, I was spending hours of my day researching restaurants in my area. Now, I just send the link and our employees pick their meals themselves.

SOLUTION & RESULTS

Clune Construction turned to ezCater to solve all of their food for work needs. They began using Relish by ezCater for employee lunches, and ezCater Marketplace to cater meetings, events, and trainings. Each service was able to meet a specific need, while staying on budget, cutting down on food waste, and increasing overall employee satisfaction.

Catering options for every situation

From letting employees select their own meals as a free lunch perk to catering for special meetings or events, having both Relish by ezCater and ezCater Marketplace gives Clune the versatility they need.

Employee engagement that builds community

Gathering for lunch each Monday has become a tradition at the Clune D.C. office. Employees get to pick exactly what they want to eat, and love discovering and supporting a variety of local restaurants that they can later dine at with their families.

Food budgeting made simple

Relish lets you set a per-person food budget and make adjustments as needed. After some experimenting, Clune has found the sweet spot to be $15 per lunch. Plus, employees choose exactly what they eat, so no food or money is wasted.
