Once or twice a week is completely fine. I work at Thumbtack (and have since the first meal!), and occasionally if I am in right in the middle of something or need a break I'll eat at my desk. It isn't a big deal, and I certainly don't agree that people must eat together everyday. However, one of the key things our culture is that everybody is always welcome at the table, and there is never any issue with somebody pulling up a chair anywhere and joining any conversation. You certainly don't have to if you aren't in the mood, but you always can. I'm also not a big foodie at all, but the food is really really good, and that helps a lot :)
