By all accounts, the Infinite Loop cafeteria has such great food that it’s pretty common for all sorts of Silicon Valley types to drop on by to visit a friend and catch some lunch.
The only problem? The constant influx of outsiders at Caffe Macs prevents Apple employees from actually talking about what’s going on and what they’re working on while they chow. That’s why Apple’s building an all new, off-campus restaurant, and only employees are allowed in.
The Next Web reports:
Apple has had a planning request approved for a new off-campus restaurant by the Cupertino Planning Commission, providing employees with a place to eat and discuss company plans and product development without fear of Apple’s competitors overhearing conversations.
The new 21,468-square-foot cafeteria, which was approved at a meeting on Tuesday, is located a short walk from Apple’s Infinite Loop headquarters and will provide cafe, meeting room, lounge areas and courtyard facilities, as well as a dedicated second floor for restaurant staff.
