2020 has been a year of ups and downs, but the holiday season never fails to lift our mood. While celebrations are going to look different this time around, it's the joy of connecting with our communities that defines this time of year.

To keep employees safe in the office, companies have implemented new protocols and guidelines, from adding floor markers to changing the workplace layout. When thinking about the lunch hour, there are additional challenges to consider.

As companies design their return to office plan for a social distancing environment, extra consideration is needed for office catering.

You’re in charge of feeding your office and that’s no small feat. Monday’s office meal needs to lift everyone out of a mood while the other weekday office meals should be healthy, fun, fresh and new.

As an office manager, your task list is never-ending and ever-expanding. You don’t have time for frivolous reading or perusing for inspiration. But, you still have to order corporate catering to your office—and your bosses and colleagues expect it to be varied, fresh, delicious, new, inspired, easy-to-eat and on time.

Take this moment for yourself. Slow down. Relax. Breathe. Good. You’ve just learned the key step in the Slow Food Movement USA’s manifesto.
