An approach of the in-company restaurant at the workplace: a multiple case study from the point of view of workers’ quality of life

Abstract The commute home/work is responsible for most of the daily displacements in urban areas, and which also occurs during the lunch break. Therefore, the following study aims to address the issue of the in-company restaurant and conduct a study of opinion about the restaurants inside the companies. A questionnaire for the employees of 10 companies in the region of Bauru was applied to evaluate companies with and without a restaurant, seeking to analyze the commute times and their influence on the quality of life of the worker. The survey also examined the modes of transport used by staff and the time spent in the commute.
