AT least someone is making a mint out of the current financial turmoil. Food franchises are cashing in as office workers cut back on lavish lunches and opt for the office canteen instead.

Indian restaurant franchise Tiffinbites says its sales are up by 40 per cent over the last six weeks. The company provides food to the canteens of more than 200 blue chip companies including Citigroup and Barclays.

Jimal Himani, CEO and founder of Tiffinbites said: “Our Tiffin days have been operating in offices since 2005. But since the economic slowdown, we have noticed an upturn in profits from canteen sales. Whereas many workers would normally go out for lunch, they are now choosing to save money by eating on site.”
