Lunch at the TechCrunch office has always been an interesting affair. We're fortunate enough to have it paid for by the company several times a week, but the logistics involved "in other words, ordering enough food for everyone while taking their taste preferences into account "cause a real headache. For a long time it was a game of chicken: we wouldn't eat until one of us had their hunger pangs intensify to the point that they couldn't take it any longer, and only then would they pick up the phone (I kept a stash of granola bars under my desk so that I could outlast the others). Things are much better now, largely thanks to TC alum Laura Boychenko, but it's still a big time sink.If only Y Combinator-backed startup ZeroCater had launched a few years ago.The startup has set out with a simple mission: make your office's lunch as easy as possible. It handles the tricky parts (like identifying restaurants that'll deliver and ordering enough food to cover everyone, including vegetarians). Sound good? ZeroCater is now allowing companies in the Bay Area to sign up for the service.
