Fair point, I spend most of my week working from home, and when in the office we have a rota for people making lunch which we thence sit down to eat, so I'm a little out of touch with the lunchtime rush!

I'm totally behind the idea of lunch at work, I just think its something that can be handled far better than dumping a meal at your desk

I'm also in the "I like to get up and out of the office even for a few minutes" camp, though I hate waiting in line.

I've seen the opposite - where I've been in a capital markets job where I couldn't leave my desk, and the office assistant screwed up the order at least twice a week.

One solution is employees order the food and then go pick it up, skipping lines. Change of scenery is often great for mental stimulation. Sitting at a desk 20 hours straight only works for those on adderal.

Kudos to your intern for building this.

I solve the waiting in line problem by eating lunch slightly later than normal. I find that around 13.30 I can hit even the most popular of lunch places and hardly find any lines.
