Whether you’re planning a training session for your team or simply want to show them how much you appreciate their hard work, a catered lunch could be the perfect solution. It’s not only a healthier alternative to the classic pizza party but also a great way to add variety and excitement to the usual lunch routine with diverse cuisine options. Here are some of the best corporate catering choices to make your team look forward to lunchtime.
1. Mexican Fiesta
Mexican food is so much more than Taco Tuesday, it’s the perfect lunch option any day of the week. Set up a build-your-own taco bar so everyone can customize their meal with fillings like seasoned beef, grilled chicken, or roasted veggies. Add fresh guacamole, salsa, and beans on the side for healthy, flavorful options. Expect bold spices and zesty flavors that will make lunchtime exciting.
2. Smoked BBQ
Get your team hyped with a smoky BBQ lunch right in the office. Think platters of tender smoked chicken, turkey breast, or saucy BBQ ribs. Pair these savory meats with sides like sweet baked beans, buttery cornbread, and perfectly seasoned collard greens. The aroma of BBQ alone will have everyone counting down the minutes until lunch!
3. Caribbean Cuisine
Take a tropical break during your workday with Caribbean flavors. Serve platters of spicy jerk chicken, sweet fried plantains, and flavorful rice and peas. Add refreshing slices of fresh mango to balance the spice, or end with a coconut-based dessert. Caribbean cuisine brings a mix of heat, sweetness, and a taste of the islands.
4. Asian Fusion
Shake up standard boxed lunches with Asian Fusion platters. From fresh hand-rolled sushi to crispy spring rolls and fluffy bao buns, the options are endless. Include stir-fried noodles packed with colorful veggies, or trays of orange chicken and beef teriyaki. Expect a mix of sweet, savory, and umami flavors that are sure to broaden your team’s lunch horizons.
5. Italian Feast
Transport your team to Italy with a hearty Italian lunch. Serve trays of cheesy lasagna, creamy pasta dishes, and garlic bread fresh from the oven. Small wood-fired pizzas and fresh Caprese salad are great add-ons. The comforting and classic flavors of Italian food will leave everyone feeling full and happy.
6. Indian Spices
Turn up the heat with Indian food! Dishes like butter chicken, spicy biryani, flaky samosas, and warm naan bread will win over any crowd. Lentil dal and vegetarian curries provide options for those with dietary restrictions, while still packing in tons of flavor. Indian cuisine is all about bold spices and rich, comforting meals.
7. Healthy Bowls & Salads
If lighter options are on your team’s wish list, go for a catered selection of fresh bowls and salads. Set up a DIY station with crisp greens, roasted veggies, grilled chicken, and healthy toppings like chickpeas and avocado. Expect fresh, clean flavors that are nutritious and energizing
8. Mediterranean Pita Station
Mediterranean food offers a delicious variety of flavors, making it perfect for corporate lunches. Create a pita station with options to build a gyro or plate. Include creamy hummus, tangy tzatziki, flavorful kebabs, falafel, and crisp Greek salads. Mediterranean flavors are fresh, savory, and full of zest.
9. Spanish Tapas
Keep it fun and shareable with Spanish tapas. Serve bite-sized favorites like patatas bravas, garlic shrimp, stuffed peppers, and flaky empanadas. These small plates bring bold, smoky, and savory flavors that are great for a relaxed lunch setting.
10. Tasty Thai
Let your team enjoy a taste of Thailand! Dishes like green curry, chicken satay, and sweet mango sticky rice bring bold flavors. Caterers can also include crowd favorites like Pad Thai, made with chicken or tofu, and a fresh mango salad on the side.
