That's where the Never Eat Alone app comes in. Designed like a Tinder for dining, companies can acquire Never Eat Alone for its workers allowing them to sign on, create custom profiles and match up to one another for potential lunch dates. The app is currently exclusive to France, but hopefully it'll expand to other regions adding a platform to workers to connect to one another.
