Working meal refers to the food provided in the workplace or on business trip, which is usually characterized by convenience and quickness. Generally speaking, working meals include breakfast, lunch and dinner, of which lunch is the most important. In some enterprises and institutions, in order to meet the principle of saving meals and simple nutrition, the unit will arrange working meals in a unified canteen or restaurant, with simple meat dishes, vegetarian dishes and white rice as the main meals.

The types and quality of working meals vary with the scale, financial resources, industries and regions of enterprises and institutions. In some high-end enterprises and foreign companies, there are many kinds of working meals with Chinese, Western, Japanese and Korean flavors, and their side dishes, seasonings and tastes are quite elegant, especially in important customer reception or high-level meetings, which are novel, beautiful, luxurious and unique. In some industrial, agricultural and grass-roots units, due to the shortage of funds, the quality and quantity of working meals may be relatively low, and even simple foods such as instant noodles, steamed bread and biscuits may be used instead of dinner.

It is worth mentioning that with the improvement of people's health awareness and living standards, more and more enterprises and institutions begin to pay attention to the quality and nutrition of working meals. For example, in large Internet companies and technology companies, there are some canteens, snack bars and cafes in the office area. Working meals are mainly vegetarian and light meals, with fresh juice and various nutritional conditioners, aiming to provide employees with a healthier, more delicious and more colorful dining experience.
