More than half of the participants in the survey conducted by SuperJob for RIA Novosti, namely 52 percent, said they bring their lunch to work from home.
There is a significant gender difference in this habit. While 62 percent of female workers prefer homemade food, this rate remains at 43 percent for men. The share of those using the office cafeteria is 19 percent, and those going to cafes and restaurants in the city is 13 percent. These two options are more common among men. Seven percent of workers go home during lunch break, while only 2 percent order food to the office.
The picture changes with the remote work model. 74 percent of remote workers eat lunch at home. In this group, the rate of going to a cafe is 9 percent, and ordering food to home is 3 percent. Remote-working men are ahead of women in eating at home (77 percent) and going out (10 percent), while women are more active in ordering in (5 percent versus 1 percent).
The perception of healthy eating also differs by work style. While 43 percent of on-site workers think they eat healthily at lunch, this rate rises to 64 percent among remote workers.
The survey showed that one in ten economically active people occasionally orders ready-made food to work. Ordering is more common among women (14 percent) than men (6 percent). Among young people under 35, the ordering rate is 16 percent, while it drops to 6 percent for those over 45.
When looking at the content of ordered meals, traditional flavors stand out. 59 percent of orders consist of soup and/or a main dish, while 31 percent consist of salads. The share of those ordering pizza, sushi and rolls, other Asian dishes, or hamburgers is 10 percent each. The average order amount per person was calculated as 810 rubles.
