Every event for your customers or employees has a different style and must accommodate different needs. This is what can make planning corporate catering a bit of a challenge. Here’s some information about how to select the best catering menu for your corporate lunch.

A Guide to Corporate Catering Lunch Menus

Consider the Type of Event

Before you start the corporate catering planning process, you’ll need to think about the event you’re holding. Is this a formal sit down affair, or will people be grabbing a sandwich between training sessions? Being unprepared can make for a confusing event and can cost you a lot of extra money. Also, make sure you have an estimate of how many people you’ll be serving, and plan for a little extra. 

Weigh Your Common Meal Options

You need to accommodate the different tastes and dietary needs of the attendees. Offering vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-reduced options is standard.

You’ll also need to decide on how to serve the food. A deli buffet is one of the most common catering options for quick, hand-held dining. These sandwiches can include Santa Fe wraps and Cuban or croissant sandwiches. Other items like mixed green salad, chips, and cookies are common. You can also serve this as a boxed lunch to make dining more efficient.

Most catering companies will offer Italian, Asian, and American dishes with a variety of proteins like salmon, chicken, beef, and pork. You can choose a single cuisine to create a theme, or pick and choose dishes that would work well with your employees.
