工人的工作福利是机构和企业发展的中心主题。在这场辩论中，一个中心问题涉及寻找为雇员组织午休和餐饮服务的最佳方法。在过去，食堂对工人有着至关重要的作用，但过去二十年来，欧洲经济发生了深刻的变化，工人的饮食方式和工作时与食物有关的做法多样化。基于2015-2016年由美食科学大学进行的“工作中的饮食”研究，本文分析了来自10个不同欧洲国家的近9400名员工的午餐消费行为。通过探讨工人在午休期间的饮食方式以及他们如何在营养，社交，生产力和整体满意度方面满足个人需求，本文指出午休对提高工作幸福感具有重要意义，从而表明食堂有潜力发挥重要作用。
Workers' wellbeing at work is a central theme for the development of institutions and enterprises. Within this debate, a central issue relates to the search for the best ways to organize lunch-breaks and food services for employees. In the past, canteens had a crucial role for workers, yet the last twenty years have marked a profound transformation of the European economy, with the effect of diversifying workers' foodways and their food-related practices while at work. Based on the research "Eating at Work" conducted by the University of Gastronomic Sciences in 2015-2016, this paper analyses the consumer behavior at lunch of almost 9400 workers, from ten different European countries. By exploring the workers' foodways during lunch-breaks and how they answer to their individual needs in terms of nutrition, socialization, productivity and overall satisfaction, the paper points out that the lunch-break has major implications in boosting wellbeing at work, thus suggesting the essential role canteens have the potential to carry out.
