“Corporate food service has evolved significantly since COVID when many employees worked from home,” Apex Restaurant & Market Solutions President and Founding Partner Brian Porembski said in the announcement. “We have helped our clients shift their perspective toward food service benefits post-pandemic. Focusing on providing easily accessible, healthy food options has become a crucial incentive for employees returning to the office. This change reflects a growing awareness of the importance of convenient, high-quality food choices in the workplace.”
