Some Ideas to Try…
Take Away & Delivery
Travels Well – Why not offer those staff heading home from a long shift or discharged patients an easy take home meal?
Hand-held – For busy staff looking to grab & go why not try introducing tubs or cartons (hot or cold)? Chilli, Spicy Vegemince™ Burritos, Thai Curry – the options are endless!
Picnic Packs – Rice salads and simple picnic dishes make a great option for the hot weather, so staff can get outside and enjoy some well-earned vitamin D.
Care Packs - Create care packs including Tilda rice for those leaving hospital/residential care or even local food banks or charities – to show you care.
Team Building Supper Club – give your hard-working front-line team a treat with a dinner party in a box to cook at home and join online.
