The cost savings to your company for the trade off in meals eaten within a restaurant (plus gratuity), vs. cooked within the VR, might be a good selling point if it's something you need to build a case for.

Free meals and door prizes spring to mind.

What really got me hooked was listening to the podcasts - so full of info, and by downloading them onto my phone, I've been able to learn so much, all while chasing after my kids, making meals etc.

The banking system was much healthier and avoided the downturn that we had.
