The food app that’ll change your work lunches forever

The food app that’ll change your work lunches forever

Apparently the average London worker doesn’t even manage to take a 20-minute lunch break so it’s no surprise that most people begrudgingly break up their working day with boring, unadventurous meals. Well, you really don’t have to wait until dinner to go outside the usual lines anymore.

Recently launched app Redi encourages you to have the kind of local approach to your working area that you have when you’re staying somewhere abroad. By offering a pre-order service from 50 independent cafes and restaurants across London, including places like hip hop and healthy food eatery The Good Yard, cosy EC1 Coffee House and ethical café Vegan hippo.

It basically cuts out the faff. You see what’s near you online, you order, pay and you get notified when it’s ready to pick up, at no extra charge. Worth a try to discover those nearby delis and cafes you never knew existed, if you ask us.
