The curated offering reflects how food delivery is evolving: from just being about convenience, to solving nuanced workplace challenges. Like, meals without cutlery, snacks that can be eaten while typing, or team-friendly bundles. Early pilots reveal city-specific quirks such as chicken popcorn rules in Bengaluru, fries dominate in Mumbai, and garlic breadsticks top in Gurgaon.
Healthy nibbles and salads remain perennial favorites across all cities. If aggregators like Swiggy are reshaping desk dining, institutional food service providers are reinventing cafeterias, offsite kitchens for India Inc. Massive Restaurants, which operates Farzi Cafe, launched a cloud kitchen Salad Life, offering healthy, flavorful eats. Talking of corporate orders, founder & MD, Zorawar Kalra said, "We receive a significant number of office lunch orders, from high-density corporate hubs. Our top-selling items for office deliveries include the chicken salad, burrata pesto sandwich and falafel salad. We've noticed a strong preference for high-protein meals, with corporates looking for options that are both nutritious and satisfying. Companies are encouraging their teams to make better food choices, and we serve as a convenient partner across Delhi-NCR for this shift."
