Isn't it lunch that is plainly troublesome in telework?
When I was at work, I had a good time bringing lunch boxes and having lunch with my colleagues, but now my husband and I often eat what we have at home, and it's bland...
I feel that lunch time when I go to the office was a break from my breath. This time, we looked into the situation of the office cafeteria (company cafeteria).
What is going on with the company cafeteria now that the corona disaster is on, and what are the measures to prevent the new coronavirus infection of the company cafeteria? I would like to summarize the points that everyone is concerned about.
What happened to employee cafeterias (company cafeterias) and school cafeterias due to the corona disaster?
The spread of the new coronavirus has affected many places.
Company cafeterias and school cafeterias are one of them.
As telework is promoted and there are fewer opportunities to go to work and school, it seems that the opportunities to use it are also decreasing.
(The cafeteria, which is a self-service cafeteria, seems to be decreasing in the same way.) ）
It seems that companies are taking measures such as reducing the number of seats to avoid the three Cs as a measure to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, but some companies have closed the company cafeteria itself!
I feel that the reduction or closure of company cafeterias is unavoidable because there are few people going to work and we want to reduce the risk of infection, but it is sad.
In addition, due to the decrease in face-to-face classes and the lack of students visiting campuses, the school cafeteria is also in crisis of existence.
For students, school cafeterias that can be eaten at a low price are a blessing.
I can't believe that it may not be the corona disaster... I can't enjoy campus life, and today's students are in a difficult environment.
The food and beverage industry has been hit hard by the new coronavirus, but company cafeterias and school cafeterias are also in a difficult situation.
I hope that the time will come to an end soon and that I can have a fun lunch with my colleagues and friends.
By the way, we do not have an employee cafeteria, but we have an in-house kitchen instead.
Before the Corona disaster, it was a great communication space for everyone to cook and eat for lunch and after work.
I think food and communication are connected.
If you talk while eating delicious food, it's easy to smile.
I want to eat a lot of delicious food together and laugh with each other again~!
Seat reservations for company and school cafeterias are safe for corona countermeasures!
Recently, in order to prevent the company from becoming crowded, some companies have come out to reserve seats (hoteling) and control coming to work.
There are various purposes, such as work that cannot be handled in-house or to solve a lack of communication, but even during the corona disaster, it can be seen that it is difficult to choose "not to come to work 100%".

If you want to control your attendance as a measure to prevent infection in the office, we recommend reserving seats for company meals.
If the school wants to send students to campus, it is better to reserve seats in the school cafeteria.
According to the results of a study by the National Institute of Infectious Diseases, it is estimated that the risk of infection is higher in the group where the person is present than in the restaurant.
In addition, although it is not the subject of this survey, it seems that there are cases where sitting diagonally opposite each other in the cafeteria of an elderly facility in the infected country has led to the prevention of infection transmission.
If you maintain social distancing in the employee cafeteria and do not sit across from each other, the risk of infection may be reduced.
Seat reservations are smoother than going to the cafeteria and then looking for a seat, and you can eat and drink while maintaining social distancing even during meals where the possibility of infection increases, so I would definitely like to incorporate it.
For company and school cafeterias, we recommend space management and seat reservations!
In addition to regular seats, how can I reserve and manage seats for temporary places such as company cafeterias and school cafeterias?
Never manage it on paper or in Excel. It will only increase the extra work.
We recommend the business concierge tool "Colorkrew Biz".
Colorkrew Biz has functions to visualize seating charts, reserve and manage seats, and manage spaces.
This allows you to go to the office and check in at your seat, and further reserve and visualize spaces (company cafeterias, school cafeterias, etc.).
In addition, it is easier to check the usage status of space, so it can be used to verify the effectiveness of new measures such as AWB (Activity-based working) and free addresses.
How to Use the Space Management Feature
How to Book a Space (Meeting Room)
(1) Log in to the user portal and select New Reservation/View Reservation Status (Space (Meeting Room))
(2) Select the space (meeting room), date, and time you want to reserve.
(3) Enter the title and the reason for reservation (optional) to make a reservation
How to confirm a space (meeting room) reservation
In the seating map of the User Portal, select the space (conference room) you want to check to check the availability of the reservation holder and reservation time.
How to Check In
Simply scan the QR code pre-installed in the space (meeting room) and select Start.
It can be used not only for company and school cafeterias but also for offices!
Colorkrew Biz can be used not only for company and school cafeterias, but also for office use.
Since you can visualize where people are just by scanning the QR code, you no longer have to be busy looking for people ™ without knowing who is where when you are using a free address or telework.
You can visualize the seats on each floor, so you can quickly find out where you are in the office or in the company cafeteria.
Preparation before introduction is also easy.
You can use the layout drawings of the office or canteen to create a seating chart.
In the unlikely event that a new coronavirus infection occurs in the company, the data can be analyzed from the logs and close contacts can be identified.
If you want to create an environment where you can go to the office with peace of mind, Colorkrew Biz is the way to go.
