Start an Online OrderWhat Should You Consider Before Choosing a Corporate Catering Menu?
The right corporate lunch catering menu depends on three essentials: your event type, your guest count, and your dietary needs.
Short lunch breaks of 10 to 25 minutes are best served with handheld foods like crunchy tacos or mini chimichangas or pre-portioned meals such as boxed lunches.
Casual team lunches, sales meetings, business meeting or office celebrations are best served with an interactive package like our Build Your Own Taco Bar or Fiesta Package. Your staff will always appreciate variety and our packages hit that mark, so your staff can eat within their comfort zone. Since every office includes a mix of dietary restrictions, building flexibility into your menu avoids last-minute stress.
Professional Tip
Order 10% extra for corporate events - it's better to have leftovers than hungry executives. Plus, today’s leftovers become tomorrow's lunch.
What Should You Consider Before Choosing a Corporate Catering Menu?
If you’re searching for catering that accommodates all dietary restrictions, then you need to add variety to the menu. Balance the menu two or three entrees, one entrée meat based and the other non-meat-based entrée like cheese enchiladas or bean burritos for vegetarians. While also including a high protein dish like carne asada or grilled chicken will accommodate multiple dietary restrictions. It’ll also improve the “WOW” factor for staff when they see an abundance of food.
Here at Carmen’s we accommodate nearly every possible dietary restrictions with the following options.
Our Spanish Rice, Black Beans, Chips Guacamole, Salads, and Impossible Tacos are always: Gluten Free, Vegan, and Vegetarian.
