Grubhub announced the '#FreeForLunch' campaign as a way to save the lunch break from dying in the United States. According to Grubhub, the United States has been slowly adopting a work-first mentality that is causing employees to feel less comfortable stepping away from the office for lunch. On top of this, workers who do step away for lunch often spend their break multitasking so that they do not fall behind on work.
In an effort to combat this trend and bring back the lunch break, Grubhub is offering New Yorkers a free lunch on May 17th with the promo code "FREELUNCH." This code will be valid for Grubhub users across the entire city. On top of this, Grubhub will send a calendar invite to NYC residents to remind them of this promotion on the day of the free lunch.
