For folks who are coming on fixed-no-receipt per diems it isn't that uncommon to count on breakfast/lunch (and even dinner with receptions and the like) and pocket the per diem (or use for evening booze).

Yah, that divide is definitely going to happen. That would be an interesting question to put on the survey actually. I’d love to know how many people are paying out of their pocket vs their company doing so.

That’s a really good idea. Obviously we’ll have the reception in there, but it didn’t occur to me to do all the food in there. Duh.
