Remote meetings can be quite a drag and hard to coordinate for companies. However, Planetary -- a Brooklyn-based digital agency that specializes in the creation of websites, apps, and other digital products, is looking to curb the lack of enthusiasm for "companies with far-flung employees."
The service is dubbed 'Pizzatime' and it gives a new spin on an office ritual that has been around for quite some time. Prior to a remote meeting, Planetary asks for the date and the expected number of attendees. A link is shared, through which each employee can personalize their own pizza. The service will then coordinate the delivery to each specified location and will send out calendar invites for the remote meeting with a Zoom video link through which employees can enter the "virtual pizza party."
