Bloomberg offering $20 to in-office staffers for lunch

The following email was sent out to Bloomberg staffers by Dave Wildman, Global MEP, Facilities Operations & Hospitality, to staffers in about 15 small and mid-size offices in the U.S. where lunch is not currently served each day (Offices in New York, Princeton and San Francisco currently serve lunch daily):

Effective this Monday, April 19, we are pleased to offer you a daily allowance through Seamless to order your lunch while working in the office. Starting Monday, Seamless will apply a $20 credit to your account each work day to order lunch and have it delivered directly to the office. This service is available to full time employees, contingent workers and vendors.

How to Sign Up

If you haven’t already, you will receive a welcome email from Seamless with a link to sign up. Your username will be pre-set as your Bloomberg email address; you will just need to create a password. Once you are registered, you can begin using the daily credit on days you are working from the office. Please note that if you already created a Seamless account with your Bloomberg email, you do not need to re-register.

FAQs

What happens if my order exceeds my daily allowance?

If you exceed your daily allowance, at checkout, you will be prompted to add your personal card information to pay the difference.

If I don’t use my full allowance over one day, will the remaining balance rollover?

No, if you don’t use your fill allowance, it will not roll over. Only $20 will be credited to your account daily included the meal, tax, tip, and delivery fee.

How early can I order my lunch?

Orders can be placed between 10AM – 2PM.

If I choose to work from home for a day, will I be able to order my food to my house?

This service is only available for delivery to the office.
