You could subclass UIButton in your cell with a property for its row.

class MyButton: UIButton {
    var row: Int?
}

Then when you set up your table view, in the cellForRowAtIndexPath method, you set the row property:

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
        // ...
        cell.button.row = indexPath.row
        // ...
    }

This way when the action fires, you can get the correct row:

@IBAction func employeeAtLunch(sender: MyButton) {
    if let row = sender.row {
        // access the row
    }
}
