Introducing Shashoku DELI at Cloudworks

In a modern workplace where hybrid models are becoming the norm, fostering employee interaction can often be a challenge. To address this issue, Waow Corporation has successfully implemented its lunch delivery service, “Shashoku DELI,” at Cloudworks, enhancing the overall office environment. The initiative aims to create an office space that employees genuinely wish to visit and connect with their colleagues.

Background of Implementation: Office Relocation and the $10 Lunch Dilemma

Cloudworks recently moved its office to Minato Ward, Tokyo, in line with its business expansion. The previous location boasted an abundance of convenience stores and food trucks, but the new office is surrounded primarily by upscale dining establishments, leading to anticipated increases in employees’ lunch expenses. This environment raised concerns about creating “lunch refugees” among staff. To tackle this, Cloudworks began exploring affordable and convenient in-house lunch options.

Reasons for Choosing Shashoku DELI

After reviewing various service options, several key factors made Shashoku DELI stand out:

1. Low Barrier to Entry: No significant installations or renovations are required, allowing for immediate startup using available office space.
2. Variety to Prevent Monotony: Daily deliveries feature different restaurants and types of lunch boxes, offering employees a diverse and fun selection each day.
3. Affordable Pricing: Compared to eating out, the pricing is considerably lower, alleviating financial burdens for employees.

Impacts Post-Implementation: Lunch as a Communication Hub

Since incorporating Shashoku DELI, its presence in the office's café area has transformed lunch into a communal activity. Employees from various departments frequently engage each other with discussions like “What’s your lunch choice today?” This social interaction has not only fostered camaraderie but also shortened travel time associated with dining out, allowing for more time for post-lunch coffee breaks and casual chats. Employees report that they return to work feeling refreshed and more productive.
