Just Eat for Business has collated its order data to reveal the most popular office lunch trends for the first six months of 2024.
As office occupancy ebbs and flows due to hybrid working, it seems lunch habits when in the office are rooted in community and social interaction. Buffets and platters are more popular than ever, with these orders increasing by 21 per cent since the same period in 2023.
Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays remain the most popular days for office food deliveries, accounting for 72% of total orders.
According to the Plant Based Food Alliance UK, over two million Britons are vegans and vegetarians, and a quarter of the population now describe themselves as flexitarians. Reflecting these broader sustainable eating habits, vegan and vegetarian orders have risen by 15 per cent over the last year.
Just Eat has also noted a surge in healthier food options, with restaurant partners such as Salad Kitchen receiving a 44 per cent growth in orders on between January - July 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.
The top 5 cuisines include:
Matt Ephgrave, Managing Director at Just Eat for Business: “Our latest trends data clearly shows the vital role that food continues to play in the workplace, not just for sustenance but as a means to improve employee wellbeing and social dynamics.”
