And it's clearly there so employees can get back to work faster and stay on location for lunch. Is it more efficient to have catered rather than outside food? Does it taste better? Is it healthier? It's hard to say. I think the companies around there will keep catering around.

A lot of excess is more blatant.

Dropbox food is better tasting and healthier than neighborhood lunch options, which are also very expensive (I've seen $16 sandwiches)!
