A Visual Tour of Dining at Microsoft

Here’s a pictorial tour of some of the highlights of Microsoft’s onsite dining operations at its headquarters campus in Redmond, Wash. The campus has 40 cafes to serve nearly 60,000 associates populating the sprawling city within a city. The cafes are strategically located to serve the different pockets of employees, from the young hipster game designers to older management and administrative staff. Each café is a unique blend of concepts, combining in-house brands with satellite outlets of notable area eateries licensed under the company’s Local Brands Program, which provide variety, familiarity and quality.
