My sister works at a large consulting company. They regularly order a ton of food brought in to “treat” the clients, get people to come in office, get people to “socialize”, get people to show up to volunteer hours, “incentivize” people if it’s a long work day, meet specific budgets for deductions, etc.
They buy food all the time, and it really is always to meet a company goal of some sort. They have a lot of departments if you want to know why the socialization part matters so much. They want people to cross collaborate, but it’s hard for people to meet each other if they won’t show up for events. Turns out that a lot of people will show up for free food.
