Slight difference between simple past and present perfect

0Hi, I have a short question.02br
02br
00What is the difference between 'Did you eat lunch?' and 'Have you eaten lunch?'02br
02br
00The context is like this: I am going to the company cafeteria and see a colleaque coming. At this moment I can utter both expressions. But which one has the connotation of 'If you have not eaten lunch, I would like to treat you, come join me for lunch.'02br
02br
00I would appreciate your comments. Thank you.02br
