The cafeteria's closed.
The City isn't.
Let's fix lunch first.

A corporate meal program built around four departments, four schedules, and one city that never really clocks out.

Fueling City Hall,
the Firehouse, and
Everyone In Between

A chef-driven meal program built around how the City actually works — four departments, four different schedules, one team making sure everybody eats well, whatever hour they clock in.

01 · The Opportunity

A Gap the City
Already Knows Is There

With the old cafeteria closed and a new one still under construction, "what are we going to eat" has landed on employees — and on whichever delivery app is fastest. tati. is built to close that gap properly.

Real Food, Not Fast Food

Without a cafeteria on-site, the default has become large recurring orders of Chick-fil-A and Uber Eats across the administration building and downtown offices. tati. replaces that ad hoc habit with chef-prepared, dietitian-considered meals built for a working city.

Every Building, Every Day

Built Around Every Shift

A cafeteria — even a great one — runs on a 9-to-5 clock. The City doesn't. tati. reaches people on the overnight shift and the 5 a.m. shift, not just whoever's at their desk at lunchtime.

Not Just Daytime
02 · Four Groups, One Program

One Program.
Four Very Different Days.

Structured around the same four groups HR already organizes around. Same chef, same platform — tailored delivery and timing for each.

General / Administration

Standard business hours, and the natural place to prove the program out first. Also the hub for department meetings and all-day interview panels — both currently handled ad hoc.

Police

Feedback from officers has been consistent: on the midnight shift, there isn't a good option to eat. tati. makes sure that's no longer true.

Fire

Firehouses already cater when there's training — readiness is the culture. tati. slots into that same rhythm through one relationship instead of ad hoc orders.

Solid Waste

The earliest start in the City — crews on shift by 5 a.m. A new director already investing in employee events makes this group especially receptive.

03 · How tati. Works Across the City

One Kitchen.
One Platform.
Every Location.

tati. runs on a single Miami kitchen and a single ordering platform — tatimeals.com — so the City deals with one relationship, not a vendor per building.

Step 1

Every Employee, Profiled

Dietary needs, preferences, goals — captured once per person.

Step 2

Shift-Timed Delivery

Early and overnight windows for Solid Waste, Fire, and Police.

Step 3

One Shared Calendar

Training days, interviews, meetings, and events — all in one place.

Step 4

One Point of Contact

No vendor search, no per-department paperwork.

The Numbers

See It For
Your Department

Pick a group, move the sliders, and see what a program looks like at your headcount. Because the City is a tax-exempt public employer, this isn't a private-sector tax deduction pitch — it's a straight comparison of cost, coverage, and what it replaces.

Which Group Are You Building This For?
General / Administration
Standard daytime coverage · HQ & downtown offices
Police
24/7 shift coverage · overnight included
Fire
Training-day ready · shift-based service
Solid Waste
Early-shift coverage · 5 a.m. start

General / Administration

Everyday lunch coverage for standard business hours — the easiest place to start while the program proves itself.

Why It's Worth It — Beyond the Line Item

What This Actually Changes

One Vendor, Not a Patchwork

Replaces department-by-department, event-by-event vendor searching with one standing relationship — one calendar, one invoice process, one point of contact.

Coverage Turnover Money Can't Buy Back

Municipal HR research consistently finds that replacing a trained officer, firefighter, or crew member costs far more than a year of a program like this — through overtime backfill, academy or onboarding time, and lost experience. A visible investment in the people working the hardest hours is cheap by comparison.
