My team cooks our own lunch in our office kitchen almost every day. We take turns in the kitchen duty. Today was my turn, whipped up some salad with halloumi and a little bratwurst in the grill.
I very much enjoy our lunch hours, gives a chance to not talk about work with your teammates. Looking forward for tomorrow, there's this season's new potatoes (a local seasonal delicacy!) with some salmon on the menu and I don't have to cook.
- j_baker 14y agoDoes your team list cooking skills as a requirement to be hired? It would seem difficult to ensure that there's a good lunch to be had everyday otherwise.
- exDM69 14y ago> Does your team list cooking skills as a requirement to be hired? No, we don't require cooking skills, but we do require things that are a lot harder in comparison so should be able to learn to cook in no time. And it's not a requirement to take part in the cooking either. You're free to go an grab lunch from a restaurant if you wish.
- dspig 14y agoWe did this too. Even if you know nothing about cooking it's easy to find simple and tasty ideas for lunches (as I found out), it's much cheaper than eating out, and it's good for the team. But growing from 6 to 12 people made it too much of a chore to shop and cook for so many.
- yitchelle 14y agoInteresting. My work place had a baking roster (totally voluntarily). Everyone who joins is to bake something for the team when it is their turn. Not too sure how successful it turned out to be, but it is not running more.
