Uber has grown so much that they also have the Uber for Business platform. This platform is delegated for companies so they could manage employee and customer transportation, meals, and deliveries via a single dashboard. It offers control over their spending, reporting, and even compliance while using the usual Uber apps for convenience.
Uber for Business is recognized for its features, including automated expense management, customizable programs, and premium ride options. It enables businesses to set spending thresholds, track expenses, integrate with existing systems, and offer perks such as meal vouchers, subsidized rides, logistics, and corporate travel. Something that entrepreneurs would really love.
This time, Uber for Business is up to something seemingly wild, like a wild idea. They discovered the most popular meals ordered in offices across the country. Sounds odd, but this data is helpful, so you’d know where to go when you want the most in-demand perks.
“Food is a moment of respite for most of us, and lunch is one of the moments in the day where workers get to choose exactly what they want,” stated Ash Kebriti, the global head of Uber for Business. “Whether teams are grabbing salads, burritos, or a mid-afternoon Diet Coke, meal programs give employees a moment to recharge – and help companies create a workplace experience people actually look forward to, in the U.S. and beyond. We’re proud to support this for thousands of organizations worldwide, and excited to keep innovating our offerings to meet the needs of companies of all sizes.”
Puerto Ricans love salad
The results are in. The most favorite among office workers is that salad bowl. Yes, regardless of the coast, time zone, or industry – so whether you’re in a corporate buildings or in a factory or warehouse – Americans are opting to order those healthy salad lunch options. Even those in the territory that’s Puerto Rico love salads.
Also, office workers love the sweetgreen, too, favored in cities like Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, and the seat of the government. Sweetgreen also topped those in the states of Michigan, Colorado, Connecticut, North Carolina, Rhode Island, and Pennsylvania. The workers in here also love ordering that Chipotle and Panera Bread, to name specific eateries.
But wait, there’s more
Uber for Business also found out that the favorites differ city by city. For instance, in San Francisco, for some weird reason, people there love ordering garlic naan. In Boston, it’s all about the beans.
In Miami, the egg sandwich reigns supreme, while Diet Coke is the comfort food of the New Yorkers.
In Los Angeles, where several Asians are living, people love ordering a nice teriyaki bowl for lunch. In Dallas, well, it’s about cold brew and lattes. Texans love a nice drink. Lastly, in Chicago, surprise, surprise – it’s the burrito. How many miles is Chicago from Mexico again?
“It’s not just what employees [are ordering, but it’s how companies] are supporting them. Over the past year, more organizations than ever leaned into Uber for Business meal programs, with demand for the offering growing 40 percent year on year. Organizations are using meal programs to build culture, support in-office routines, and show appreciation for teams,” Uber for Business told Ridesharing Forum. “While meal programs are gaining traction across sectors, some industries are tapping into them more than others. Consulting, financial services, and technology companies continue to lead the way.”
