Where it starts.

Each project arrives with its purpose, milestones and first tasks written out. Here is how the first three read.

Two-week work lunch spending audit

Few people know what their working lunches cost until they add it up, and a sandwich, crisps, a drink and the odd coffee often comes to well over a hundred a month. Ten working days of receipts, card statements and honest notes give you a real number to beat and show which days you buy because you planned nothing.

First tasks

  • Start a note on your phone for every lunch and snack bought at work
  • Pull the last two weeks of card payments near your workplace from your bank app
  • Tag each purchase as planned, convenience or rescue
  • Multiply the ten-day total into a monthly and yearly figure

Work week lunch logistics map

A lunch plan that ignores the shape of your week fails by Tuesday: the office day with back-to-back meetings, the client site with no fridge, the home day when the kitchen is right there. Mapping each weekday's location, eating window and kitchen access first means every later prep decision fits the week you really have.

First tasks

  • List where you work on each day of a typical fortnight
  • Check the office fridge, microwave and kettle and note any queues
  • Block a protected lunch slot in your calendar on your busiest day
  • Write down how many lunches you need to prep each week

Leakproof lunch container set

A soup that leaks across a laptop bag ends most lunch habits in a single morning. Choosing a matched set of containers that seal, stack, survive the microwave and fit your bag removes the most common practical reason people stop bringing food.

First tasks

  • Fill each container you own with water and hold it upside down over the sink
  • Recycle any container that leaks or has lost its lid
  • Compare three container sets on seal, weight and microwave use
  • Buy the set that fits your bag and covers a week of lunches

Make it yours.

Install Work Lunch Meal Prep, then tell Aurum the date you're aiming for. It checks whether the plan fits the weeks you actually have.
