Google’s Early Success: Free And Delicious Food
You see most food lovers who often watched those cooking / food show, knows Jamie Oliver, Nigella Lawson, Anthony Bourdain, and blah blah, but have you heard of Charlie Ayers? Charlie who? He was an important person who played an important role during Google’s early infant startup days. As the first Google chef hired, his job is to cook and provide healthy and yummy delicious food for free for all Google’s employees.
It began in 1998, when Page and Brin started Google in a friend’s garage near Stanford University in California. A few months later, they recruited Ayers. “They said: ‘We are not going to charge for food here, ever.’
“I said: ‘That’s crazy.’ They explained my job was to create this ambience, to build this captivated audience where people wanted to come in super-early and stay super-late.
“They interviewed me above a bicycle shop. They thought they were going to go global. I thought ‘Good luck.’ The way they were playing with children’s toys, riding around on scooters, I had no idea they were doing any work.”
Fish fats does help engineers work more efficiently and smarter.
“The fat found in fish helps make the cell membranes round the brain more elastic and more able to absorb nutrients easily.”
I bet at that moment when he signed up, he could be thinking that this crazy startup wouldn’t last long with all these free food and the fun that the engineers had. Anyway here’s the full story on it, Google’s free beer and ‘big-ass’ barbies
