Grubhub's free lunch for NYC workers begs the question: how many people have returned to the office? Just 43% of white-collar workers went back to their workplaces in America's biggest cities. Here's how Google, Microsoft are rewarding those who return.
GrubHub has been trending on Google throughout the day on Tuesday for offering a free lunch up to $15 for NYC office workers between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Workers in the Big Apple’s five boroughs, as well as parts of Long Island and New Jersey, can redeem the deal by using the promo code “FREELUNCH” on the delivery service’s app or website during the promotional period, and they’ll get a $15 credit on qualifying orders.
In NYC, for example, only 38% of Manhattan office workers are in the workplace on an average weekday as of late April 2022, according to the Partnership for New York City, a nonprofit group representing local business leaders. And just 8% of Manhattan office workers report to the office full-time, five days a week.
So, many employers are trying to whet workers’ appetites by offering them free food and other benefits. The Partnership for New York City reports that nearly two-thirds of the employers it surveyed are offering at least one incentive to people who return to the office. The most common include social activities , free or discounted meals , subsidizing transportation and offering child care support .
Some tech companies have also been enticing employees to return to the office with some major perks, such as Google giving employees a private Lizzo concert at its Mountain View, Calif. headquarters in April. The chip maker Qualcomm QCOM, +4.13% hosted a happy hour at its San Diego offices when workers returned last month that featured free food and T-shirts. It also started hosting free weekly events like group fitness classes and pop-up snack stations.
