At least two San Francisco city supervisors are introducing legislation that would ban new company cafeterias throughout the region; hoping to shore up “failing restaurants” near major office buildings.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Supervisors Ahsha Safaí and Aaron Peskin are the co-sponsors behind the proposal, which would prohibit new construction sites from building “employee cafeterias.”
The legislators believe the low-cost lunches are having an adverse impact on local restaurants.
“This is another way to help support small businesses,” said Peskin. “We don’t want employees biking or driving into their office, staying there all day long and going home. This is about getting people out of their office, interacting with the community and adding to the vibrancy of the community.”
The proposal was harshly rejected by the San Francisco business community, whose employees view low-cost or free meals as a corporate benefit.
“Food in the workplace plays an important role,” said one executive. “All of that helps company culture, and it also helps companies create an attractive environment.”
