Employee overtime meal benefits reimagined

Workers’ wellbeing matters

In recent years the focus on employee well-being has taken center stage. Companies are investing more than ever in programs and resources to support employees' mental and physical health especially when they are working over eight hours a day. Extending meal allowance benefits can improve employee happiness and improve their well-being when the occasional overtime occurs.

Purpose-driven work

Give your team easy ways to connect—whether it's a coffee chat, lunch meetup, or happy hour. With Bonus Bites, employees can plan food-centered events using shared budgets, while admins stay in control with flexible settings.

The role of food in inclusive workplaces

Overtime hours can feel isolating — but a shared meal changes that. Whether it’s a small team staying late or a solo employee burning the midnight oil, offering food creates a moment of care and connection. It shows your company values everyone’s contribution, no matter when the work gets done.

The #1 Meal Benefits Platform for the Remote Workforce

Simplify overtime ordering

When your team is working late, the last thing they should worry about is figuring out what to eat. With Sharebite, employees can order their own meals quickly and easily — no one has to leave the office, wait in line, or cover the cost upfront. It’s just taken care of.

Customizable meal allowance plans

Not every team works late the same way — and your meal program should reflect that. With Sharebite, you can set specific allowance amounts, control when they’re available (like after 6 p.m.), and use geofencing to ensure meals are ordered near the office. It’s full control without added complexity.

Cater to every taste

Late-night work doesn’t have to mean unhealthy takeout. With over 4,000 premium restaurant partners, Sharebite offers options for every preference — from plant-based to protein-packed, gluten-free to comfort food. Employees can choose what fuels them best, even during extended hours.

Overages? No problem

If an employee wants to spend a little more than their overtime meal allowance, they can easily cover the difference using a personal payment method. No reimbursements, no admin work — just a smooth experience that gives employees choice while keeping your budget in check.

The Sharebite advantage

Dedicated account manager & instant support

While our platform is super intuitive, university admins will appreciate the option to work with a dedicated account manager that provides a white-glove experience through all nuances of the program. Our 24/7 customer service agents are here for you. On average, our users wait less than 40 seconds to connect with a friendly Sharebite representative.

Real-time reporting & analytics

Easily provide a seamless experience for managing student and staff meal allowances while offering real-time reporting and analytics. With Sharebite, schools can easily keep track of spending, usage, and donation tracking through real-time data and analytics.

Unmatched choice & satisfaction

Giving university staff and students the freedom to order exactly what they want when they want has made Sharebite a highly requested and utilized benefit. Sharebite allows customization of the program to align with a college's culture and goals, making it quite an appealing choice for higher education.

“

As we encourage our employees to return to the office, Sharebite’s platform has helped us create a 5-star employee experience.”
