Leaving the office is nice. But who among us has never had this conversation?

"Let's get lunch."

"Okay, where?"

"Chinese."

"Ugh. I don't feel like that today. How about that sandwich place?"

"We were just there on Monday!"

"Yeah. Feel like a burger?"

"That place isn't very good. Kind of expensive."

"Wish there was something new to try."

Then everyone goes back to work.

Then 15 minutes later you realize, ah, fuck, still hungry!

So the appeal with ZeroCater is that with no effort, boom, there's food. And it's often new food. And it's tasty. And you give no effort to thinking about it. So lunch is just a nice, social thing that lasts as long as you want it to without being prolonged by bad service, slow kitchen, whatever.

It's a pretty solid deal. Not a bad tradeoff. Picking lunch can be a miserable affair, especially when you work in a place with thin food options.

Oh, and as someone who was once subjected to truly fucking terrible office catering: wow, what a joy it is to get quality food delivered.
