Case Study: Datadog achieves 90% employee lunch participation and saves 1 hour per employee daily with ZeroCater

Datadog connects teams over shared meals

Datadog, the cloud-scale monitoring company based in New York, wanted to use shared meals to build culture and collaboration but found managing quality, variety and logistics for catering 150+ employees increasingly time-consuming. To avoid the NYC lunch rush and reduce operational burden, Datadog partnered with ZeroCater for managed corporate catering three days a week.

ZeroCater provided a hands-on catering service—coordinating menus from 350+ local restaurants, handling dietary restrictions, ordering, delivery and cleanup—streamlining logistics for Datadog. As a result of ZeroCater’s solution, lunch attendance rose to 90% and employees save about 1 hour per day, boosting cross-team interaction and productivity.
