The issue with some suburban companies is that there's wasted travel time that benefits neither the company nor the employee (unless they like traveling I guess). Suburban office workers might easily take 30 minutes or more to get to where they want to eat lunch, regardless of how long they take to eat it. In reality the trade off is taking an hour to eat and getting it for free (because you don't travel) versus paying for it and only getting 30 minutes.
