Delivery-type corporate cafeteria 'SUNAO Delivery' that supports employee health through lunch expands service to the metropolitan area

Ezaki Glico Co., Ltd. has been operating 'SUNAO Delivery,' a delivery-type corporate cafeteria service that supports employee health through lunch, exclusively in Osaka since August 2022, and will now be expanding it to the Tokyo metropolitan area sequentially starting in April 2026. The service will first launch in the Marunouchi area on April 20, 2026, with plans to expand to the Shinagawa, Shinjuku, and Roppongi areas from May onwards. Through this service, we aim to support the health of office workers while contributing to companies' health-oriented management and improving employee engagement (motivation to work and job satisfaction).

Challenges faced by companies and office workers Recently, there has been increasing attention on 'health-oriented management,' which treats employee health as a management issue. According to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the number of companies applying for the Certified Health & Productivity Management Outstanding Organizations Recognition Program has already reached approximately 20,000, making health investment an essential part of human capital management.

Furthermore, due to the rapid rise in prices in recent years, the environment surrounding the daily 'lunch' that office workers face has changed significantly. In central Tokyo, lunch prices have shifted to the 1,200 to 1,500 yen range, and there is a growing tendency to prioritize price over nutritional balance when choosing meals. As a policy to address this price hike, the 'Outline of the FY2026 Tax Reform,' approved by the Cabinet on December 26, 2025, specifies an increase in the tax-exempt limit for income tax on corporate meal provisions from the current 3,500 yen per month to 7,500 yen, which is expected to be the first revision in 42 years since 1984*1. Companies can utilize this tax reform to improve employees' disposable income and manage welfare programs. *1 This is not a formal decision until the National Tax Agency issues a notification.

About 'SUNAO Delivery' This service is a delivery-type corporate cafeteria based on a corporate contract. We deliver daily rotating lunch menus supervised by registered dietitians that are carefully crafted for nutrition. In addition, we provide a set of initiatives to raise employee health awareness, such as holding sugar-related health seminars and experience sessions for measuring AGEs (Advanced Glycation End-products), which are also called aging substances, at contracted companies. Furthermore, by contracting the service as a corporate welfare benefit, employees can use 'SUNAO Delivery' as a cafeteria lunch for 599 yen (tax included) per meal through a cashless system.

Employees place orders through their personal LINE app, which are accepted from 1:00 PM the previous day until 9:00 AM on the day of delivery. Lunch will be delivered to a designated location by 12:00 PM on the day of the order. The lunch menu combines staple foods, main dishes, and salads, and by ingeniously using ingredients and cooking methods, it is finished with satisfying volume and deliciousness. In terms of nutrition, under the supervision of registered dietitians, it is designed based on 'Appropriate Sugar'*2 to contain 40g or less of sugar per meal and 1.5g or less of salt equivalent. We are committed to ensuring that rice menus provide 1/2 of the daily protein intake*3, and pasta menus provide 1/2 of the daily dietary fiber intake*3*4.

We will continue to support the health of office workers and contribute to the health-oriented management and improved employee engagement of the companies that introduce our service.

Voices of companies adopting the service in the Osaka area Shionogi Healthcare Co., Ltd. We considered introducing 'SUNAO Delivery' on the occasion of our office relocation. As a healthcare company that supports people's health, we believe it is important that we ourselves, as the providers, are healthy both mentally and physically first. In our new office, we aim to create an environment where 'people want to come to work' and 'people can become healthy naturally,' and daily meals are a part of that. We introduced 'SUNAO Delivery,' which allows employees to make healthy choices without difficulty or guilt, as an initiative to condition our employees and lead to better performance.

Daido Life Insurance Company We introduced it at our Osaka headquarters with the goal of leading to the 'creation of a workplace where employees can work energetically while being healthy in both mind and body,' which we aim for, by providing opportunities for employees to improve their health through food. Employees who actually use it say, 'I have become conscious of healthy meals for meals at home,' 'In addition to meals, I have become conscious of healthy exercise and sleep,' and 'It feels like it is leading to improved motivation for work and productivity.' We would like to expand this to our Tokyo headquarters in the future, and lead to the maintenance and promotion of employee health, improvement of employees' health literacy, and improvement of employees' motivation for work supported by the company's backing.
