3 ways Kitchen Works makes convenience work for you

1. Nutrition means energy. It means food that satisfies without weighing them down, so they can feel good about what they’re eating.

2. When food is quick, close and in your team’s price range, it’s easier to make a good meal part of the workday, no matter how much time they have or when their shift starts.

3. When the process is easy, your team spends less time waiting in line or figuring out what’s for lunch and more time getting back to what they need to do.

Now how do you get convenience in your workplace dining?  Let me tell you how we get it here at Kitchen Works.

Nutrition, works

I’m not just talking about making food convenient. Nutrition needs to be convenient, too. 

Nobody wants to eat lunch and feel like they need a nap five minutes later. People want simple food at a good price that tastes great and leaves them feeling good. Functional flavor, I call it. 78% of workers say they want to feel good after eating. So we build menus with that in mind. 

At Kitchen Works, we put a Works for You dish on every station, every day. That means a nutritious take on a favorite comfort food, a balanced bowl packed with good ingredients or something as simple as our Kickstarter Wrap. Because it shouldn’t feel like extra work to eat well. 

And it shouldn’t mean giving up the foods you love, either. You can have a Smoky Cherry Pork & Grits and still feel good about what you’re eating. It’s about balance, quality ingredients and food that gives you something back.

At Kitchen Works, we use nutrition to make better choices easier, not to tell people what they should eat.

Accessibility, works

A 30-minute break doesn’t leave room for a long walk, a long line or a long lunch. 

I’ve heard from workers who have five minutes to get to the café, get their food and get back. And for people working nights or weekends, the problem can be even bigger. When the kitchen closes, too often the choice becomes a vending machine or the same old cold packed lunch. 

Food should be available when people are working, not just when the clock says it’s lunchtime. 

That’s why Kitchen Works brings food closer to where people actually work. Think grab-and-go options, Micro Kitchens, Markets, Smart Vending and Food Carts that keep fresh food within reach around the clock. Whether you’re starting an early shift, working through lunch or coming in for the night, we're making sure you have options. And those options should be good ones. My Juicy Lucy Burger shouldn’t be something you can only get if you happen to work the right shift. 

That’s the goal: make it easier for everyone to get something fresh, satisfying and ready to go.

Technology, works

I’m all for anything that makes getting a good meal easier. If you know what you want, why should you have to stand in line to get it? With tools like the Everyday app and self-checkout, Kitchen Works gives employees more control over how they get their food. Order ahead. Grab your meal. Get back to work. Simple. 

Technology also helps take some of the thinking out of the process. Employees can see menus ahead of time, find nutrition information and make their choices before they even get to the café. When 87% of workers say speed of service is key, every minute matters.  

And that’s how convenience works at Kitchen Works.

At the end of the day, convenience is removing the things that get between your team and the food they need. 

It’s nutritious food that doesn’t slow you down. Fresh food that’s available when your shift actually happens. Technology that makes ordering and paying easier. And plenty of choices without making people work for them. 

That’s what we’re building at Kitchen Works: food that works for the people doing the work.
