Home employee benefits in the COVID-19 era: Launching a corporate coffee service to improve employees' teleworking environment

Jul 6, 2020
WORC Inc. is launching a corporate benefit service for companies implementing teleworking, delivering the "COFFEE BAG for Working People" and "Espresso Cubes" to the homes or offices of employees, allowing them to easily brew authentic coffee anywhere.


| "COFFEE BAG for Working People" - Just pour in hot water and enjoy the taste of a coffee stand!


No specialized equipment is required. Simply pour hot water into a tea bag-style coffee bag to brew authentic black coffee. We offer three flavors to suit different work situations: "CREATIVE," "RELAX," and "REFRESH."

| "Espresso Cube" lets you recreate the taste of a cafe without going to one.


Espresso brewed by a barista is flash-frozen and vacuum-packed. You can enjoy the same delicious, authentic coffee and cafe latte you would get at a cafe, even in the comfort of your own home.


| About our corporate plans
We will send 20 of your selected products to your employees' homes every month so they can enjoy them every weekday.

◯ Price

*All prices include shipping and tax.

The number of destinations and the number of items per destination other than those listed above can also be customized to suit your needs. It is also possible to create a plan that combines the "Coffee Bag for Working People" and "Espresso Cube". For details about the plan or any requests, please contact us below.

|Background to the launch of corporate plans
WORC is a coffee startup that began operations in December 2019.
With the vision of "Working with excitement over delicious coffee," we have been providing an employee benefit service in which freshly brewed, delicious coffee is delivered to offices in pots.


However, with the spread of COVID-19, an increasing number of companies are introducing teleworking, and workplaces have become more diverse, with employees now working from their homes rather than just the office. We often hear of people feeling stressed because their homes, which used to be a place of relaxation, have now become workspaces without the proper environment in place. Given this current situation, we felt the need to make changes to WORC's services.


Meanwhile, in line with the culture of enjoying "time at home" that has spread under the state of emergency declaration, LIGHT UP COFFEE, a coffee shop also run by Kawano Yuma, has seen increased demand for its "coffee bags," which allow anyone to enjoy delicious coffee at home by simply pouring hot water over them, and its "espresso cubes," which were developed to recreate a cafe latte at home. We have received feedback from customers saying things like "It's refreshing for teleworking" and "I want to drink it every day," and we sensed the potential for this to help improve the working environment.


In light of this current situation, we wondered if we could improve the working environment at employees' homes with delicious coffee, and have decided to launch a corporate plan for "Coffee Bags" and "Espresso Cubes" as an employee benefit service that delivers coffee to each employee's home.


We understand that many people are feeling stressed and anxious about the changing ways of working every day, but we hope that more workers will be able to experience the exciting moments of delicious coffee.
