Skift Take
This six-month expense roundup reveals good news for local restaurants, bad news for waistlines.
Employees have a healthy appetite for food delivery services as they adjust to working from home, according to a new report into the most popular travel and expense categories in the U.S. during the first half of this year.
Employer-provided meals have seen a big rise, with food delivery services increasing 110 percent compared to the first six months of 2019. “Supplies” are also on the up.
The breakdown of the most common expense categories, published by expense software provider Certify, provides an interesting snapshot into travel and pricing trends now emerging in lockdown culture.
What’s Cooking?
The rather vague “miscellaneous items” was the number one category in the Certify SpendSmart Report, published by parent company Emburse, totaling 16.5 percent of receipts by category.
But meals made up 15.8 percent of receipts submitted. The average expense submitted was $45.35, a $7.18 increase on the year before.
