Work canteens are usually subsidized. There’s no way you get this much food for that price and not have it be total garbage. Even with the scale on which a large caterer operates.
Such diversity in each meal. Good stuff.
Whats the name of the potato stew in the bottom right?
Probably patatas con bacalao
Looks like potatoes and green beans and tomato sauce.
How much is your company spending for every 3.25€ you spend?
Please hire me. I need a job, and a visa to leave the US… Y hablo español.
That’s kind of depressing compared to Ireland (specifically Dublin). Things are just so expensive here.
Consider that all these lunches are subsidised by the company, which if you think about it could have either completely subsidize or pay workers more and make lunches full price. This lunch format easily costs 8€ or more full price.
Side note: I actually do like for companies to subsidize lunch since it’s usually money that is exempt of taxes up to a point (depending on the region) so the workers save money by doing so.
It’s win-win for the business. They use the money that could go to salaries to encourage employees to work more hours by staying in the office for lunch.
That’s not how it works in most places, working hours are fixed and breaks are typically mandated by law anyway, so you don’t get to go home early just because you skipped lunch.
Plus, a healthy and tasty meal, subsidized by the employer, certainly beats me shopping for the ingredients and cooking when it comes to price and time invested. An actual problem is rather having access to a place that provides food like that.
What I mean is workers who leave for lunch are more likely to come back later. Coming back late from lunch happens all the time and no one is fired from Accounting for taking 45 minutes instead of 30 minutes.
Workers taking lunch with other workers in the office are also more likely to talk about work as compared to meeting friends outside of work for lunch. If you are talking about work during lunch with coworkers, that’s like having an office meeting during lunch.
Yes, that makes more sense. I can agree with that, thanks for clearing that up.
For reference, a normal “menú del día” (daily menu) in Spain goes anywhere from 9€ to 18€+.
Maybe its because its of a work canteen, but would like a source there lol, i have never seen anything like that for such price, not even in schools you get it for that price so unless this is a very specific situation where that price for lunches is part of the contract i doubt its real (im from spain btw)
Some of those look pretty good. Sorry Germany. Spain beat you.
You traveling around really fast eh? 2 posts from Germany and Denmark at the same time just recently… And now in Spain?
Delicious!
Looks good, but I’m happy we just get 8 bucks for every lunch meal and don’t depend on one place to provide proper food
The food looks crappy and I think there is nothing vegetarian there.
