How Google Feeds Its Employees Free Food with a Cafe on Wheels
Free meals for Google employees have long been a true legend. At the company's headquarters in Mountain View, California, there are almost 30 cafes where everyone can choose their own food to taste.
But Google doesn't stop there. Today, mobile catering company The Whole Cart announced that by the end of the year, Googleplex will have a fleet of 20 cafes on wheels offering free innovative dishes.
Some of the cars will be grouped in the central parking lot, while others will be located closer to employees working in more remote Google office buildings.
