ezCater is launching a service, called Relish, that offers employers a safe approach to providing office-based workers with boxed lunches from local restaurants.

The program offers employees easy access to several meal choices from a rotating list of nearby eateries, according to a press release. The individually packaged meals arrive in one delivery, at a set place and time, to keep traffic levels down in the office space in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

"Keeping employees safe is a key priority as we reopen our office," said Alyssa Lahar, chief human resources officer at ZoomInfo, an ezCater customer, in the release. "With Relish’s delivery options, our employees can order and enjoy food from restaurants they love without leaving the building. It’s a convenient service that helps us provide both a safe and rewarding workplace experience for our employees.”

The service, according to ezCater co-founder and CEO Stefania Mallett, is "COVID-smart," as it provides workers safe access to great food and helps restaurants that are rebounding from months of being shuttered due to the coronavirus.

"We're ready to feed corporate America once they return," said Hadrien Delande, chief marketing officer at B.GOOD, a fast casual restaurant chain. "And ezCater's Relish service is a great way to do that."
