When it comes to ordering lunch at the office, there are always so many options. You could run out to a restaurant, order ahead on the phone, or bring from home. With so many options, one start-up thought they would streamline the process. Ritual is a social ordering app that enables networks of co-workers to order in groups in order to streamline the pick-up and drop-off process, and occasionally grab deals.
