As usual a technological solution would have saved more money. All Goldman would have to do is let people reserve their place in the lunch line through their cellphone or at their desk. When their number comes up, they can go right to the front of the line and order. There would be a specific physical way to access the front of the line when your number is up.
The people who don't use this policy would quickly learn to use it since the others would be constantly skipping them. So that would push everyone to use this system and avoid the physical line. The system could even show them estimated time remaining via an app or webpage.
For that matter, Goldman could have its own app for its employees. So can many other organizations. Lots of government inefficiency comes from this. The NY DMV finally put forms up online!! Imagine how much more efficient it is to fill out a form online than waste half a day standing on line (not online) to get the right form, then fill it out and wait for your # to come up to finally do something.
By the way, if you liked the above idea of organizations making apps for their employees, reach out to me through http://qbix.com/about . We spent about two years building the technology for making such apps for organizations. We could really use someone with good PR or Marketing experience to partner with us though. And developers are always welcome (if you use Node or PHP.)
