An office lunch is a fantastic way to thank your employees for their hard work, celebrate office birthdays or other events, or create a special event for holidays. There are lots of ways that you can provide a delicious catered lunch for the office without spending a lot of money.

Build-Your-Own Sandwich or Wrap Bar

Everyone loves a delicious sandwich, and a DIY sandwich and wrap station is perfect for the office where everyone has different tastes and dietary needs. An assortment of breads and specialty wraps, deli meats, cheeses, and plenty of toppings like lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, mustard, mayo, and hummus will feel luxurious without a high cost. Letting everyone choose their own sandwiches and wraps makes the lunch feel more personal, and costs much less than individual boxed lunches.  

Taco Days 

Tacos are a very popular option for office lunches because they offer a lot of variety and a lot of flavor. A taco bar with seasoned ground beef or shredded chicken, tortillas, beans, rice, shredded lettuce, cheese, salsa, and sour cream allows your staff to create their own tacos, burritos, or bowls filled with the ingredients they love. 

Pasta Party

A couple of large pans of pasta can go a long way, and pasta is a very popular food option because almost everyone can eat it no matter what their food preferences are. Choose one red sauce and one white, and serve with garlic bread and a big Caesar or garden salad. Pasta is filling, inexpensive, and easy to scale up for large offices or if you are planning on having office visitors that day. 

Mediterranean Mezze Spread

You can keep costs low and flavor high by serving a cold platter-style lunch with falafel, seasoned cold chicken, pita bread, hummus, tabbouleh, cucumber salad, tzatziki, and olives. Mediterranean food is fresh, affordable, and great for different dietary needs. Your staff can make healthy veggie bowls or wraps. 

Baked Potato Bar

Some healthy carbs at lunch will give your staff the energy they need to work hard all afternoon. Baked potatoes are cheap, easy to prep in large quantities, and can be topped with all sorts of things like cheese, sour cream, green onions, bacon bits, chili, broccoli, or salsa. Set it up like a buffet and let people load their spuds how they like. It’s filling and surprisingly fun.

A Southern Chicken Lunch

Fried chicken is a staple in the South because it’s delicious year-round. Fried chicken with traditional Southern sides like mac and cheese, coleslaw, or slow-cooked greens are a great way to give your staff a hearty lunch of comfort food classics on a budget. 

Pizza And Salad

Pizza is an office favorite, especially combined with a delicious fresh salad. A selection of different pizzas will make it easy for everyone to find a pizza they like, and offering fresh salad is a good option for people who prefer a healthy but filling lunch.
