Parkday

Parkday operates a food-at-work service that supplies offices with meals sourced from a curated network of local restaurants. Its core offering is a weekly rotation of individual meals for groups, built around a client's headcount, dietary preferences and company values, with up to ten restaurants available in a given week. Alongside group delivery, the company offers family-style catering that is set up, staffed and cleared on site, and custom menu service for offsites, all-hands meetings and events. A coffee, pantry and snack restocking service is listed as forthcoming, billed on the same invoice as food service.

The restaurant network is positioned as a hand-picked list of top restaurants by cuisine in each market, spanning categories such as Indian, Australian, Mexican, Chinese, sandwiches, Thai and lighter "goal-oriented" options, and including venues with Michelin recognition and James Beard nominations. Parkday also produces editorial content around its restaurant partners and seasonal menus, including a Substack newsletter called Lunch Rush covering restaurants and company culture, restaurant films and themed menu programs tied to seasonal produce and cultural occasions.

Business model

Parkday sells workplace food programs to companies on a subscription-style, no-commitment basis, aggregating demand from office employees and fulfilling it through a network of partner restaurants. Clients can begin with a two-week trial in which Parkday builds the first week of menus from a stated headcount, and are billed monthly, with a discount offered for quarterly payment.

Pricing is unbundled into three components: $20 per meal for food, a $2 per meal service fee, and a flat $59 delivery fee for each restaurant offered on a given day. There are no minimums and clients pay only for meals ordered; gratuity is included and billing is monthly, with a 10% reduction for quarterly payment. For example, the site's estimator shows 300 meals per week at $6,895, comprising $6,000 food, $600 service and $295 delivery.

Traction

The company reports a network of roughly 280 restaurants across its markets, 142 in New York and 90 in San Francisco, a client roster of 24 listed companies, and 100% client retention by its own account.
