lunch meetings

Working meal gatherings

Lunch meetings are professional gatherings scheduled during the midday meal, combining business discussion with eating.

The format serves multiple purposes: it fits into busy schedules, provides neutral ground, and softens formal dynamics with the ritual of sharing food.

I have back-to-back lunch meetings all week.

The term often carries a slight weariness—lunch meetings can feel like work colonizing personal time.
