I completely agree with your point about having food around at the office. We don't have anything nearly as elaborate as the Facebook offices, just a snack room with an Odwalla fridge, pretzels, chips, etc, and another fridge full of lunch meat and other sandwich materials. And I agree that my productivity has gone through the roof because of easy access to food -- when I'm hungry, I just go and eat, and get back up to full potential. That said, I agree with the original comment: this is not a good way to get your company in the black. Maybe I have a terribly uneducated palette, but the sandwiches I can make work for me. In fact, I've never heard anyone at work complain "I wish we had a cafeteria with a sous chef." Maybe that's because we're in downtown San Francisco, and there's a lot of stuff around. But seeing as how we -all- go to Mehfil 3x a week, I don't think the variety is helping.
