What is a Lunch & Learn and Why Every Company Needs One
In many workplaces, lunch is just a quick break between meetings. But in West African
culture, meals are classrooms — spaces where lessons are passed down, relationships are
strengthened, and communities are renewed. A Lunch & Learn borrows from that tradition.
It transforms a midday meal into an intentional moment of growth.
At Dozzy’s Grill, we’ve reimagined the concept of Lunch & Learn by blending West African
cuisine with cultural storytelling. Each session is designed not only to nourish the body, but
to spark dialogue, create bonds, and remind teams that learning doesn’t just happen in
conference rooms. It happens when people feel at ease, when they taste something new, and
when stories open doors to different perspectives.
Why does every company need this? Because culture is built at the table. A Lunch & Learn
helps teams step away from their screens and sit together with curiosity. It creates a safe
space for asking questions and sharing experiences, all while enjoying bold flavors like Chi-
Town Jollof or Àkàrà & Dòdò.
When teams participate in a Lunch & Learn, the benefits are lasting. Morale lifts.
Collaboration strengthens. People leave not just fed, but inspired.
**Takeaway:** Lunch is an untapped opportunity for culture-building. With the right food
and storytelling, it becomes a ritual of belonging.
