Some people are bringing lunch-box from their home or order from delivery services.

Itis trying to determine the major reasons for using lunch boxes today, and define the users’ needs to know more precisely the relation between the salary and amount spent for lunch and the way they have the lunch about how office workers solve their hunger in everyday life. As the number of office worker is growing up day by day, the market of food supply for them is also growing up. Every employee including young and elder employees must eat their lunch in their working hours to be able to carry out the task the whole day. The type of lunch is differing between them.
