Free food is a regular (and well appreciated) perk of being a tech worker, but San Francisco wants to end that benefit with new legislation that would ban the installation of nonretail cafeterias in office buildings. City supervisors essentially want employees to start visiting local eateries, which are “often struggling.”
One can easily see the appeal of creating an in-house oasis that offers meals: It's a chance for workers to stay on the clock longer and collaborate together, and it has become a standard perk for recruiting and retaining in-demand tech workers. But sending those same employees into the neighborhood could revitalize it, city officials and restaurant owners argue.
