Circle, a global internet finance company based out of Boston, provides its employees with monthly stipends for lunches. Although it is fairly common for companies to cater lunch regularly, the monthly stipend gives employees the flexibility to choose from the hundreds of food trucks and restaurants in the downtown Boston area.
This benefit is additionally appealing to those employees with specific dietary requirements. The monthly stipend also eliminated the possibility of an employee being unable to go out to lunch with co-workers due to financial restrictions.
