Why It Works
A clear plan means fewer interruptions, predictable per-head spend and food / service that fits (doesn't fight) your timeline. Whether you’re ordering via our easy Express Drop-Off Catering option or booking a serviced working lunch, with kitchen and front of house staff - the foundations are the same.
What to confirm before your enquiry
Date & Service Times
When is your boardroom meeting booked for? Breakfast, Morning Tea, Lunch or Afternoon Tea?
Guest Count + Budget Range
(e.g. 14–18 guests, $$ per head).
Room Constraints
Is food being served in the boardroom, or a casual breakout area? Are there stairs, accessible goods lifts, spare back of house areas for food prep...etc. - Basically anything that will effect either service or bumping-in necessary equipment
Dietaries (Including their Severity)
Include names if seated, quantities if casual, and don't skimp on the details!. Whilst the dietary requirement might say 'No Gluten', there is a crucial difference between catering for intolerances vs anaphylaxis.
Cleanup Rules
Does your office or venue have onsite bins? Are they approved for food waste? Alternatively, will service staff need to collect rubbish and take off-site for disposal
Formats that Don’t Make a Mess
One-Handers
Think -> Wraps, brioche sliders, petite salad or yoghurt cups & fresh fruit skewers.
Knife-free hot items
Think -> Mini pies, arancini, frittatas & quiches
Grazing within Reach
Think -> Compact charcuterie boards & fruit platters, sized to the table.
Sweets that can be snuck back to your desk
Think -> Brownies, danishes, macarons, petite tarts & mini almond croissants
Portioning that respects meetings
60–90 mins workshop
Think -> light lunch + fruit
Half-day offsite
Think -> Morning tea + substantial lunch + tea & coffee station
All-day Conferences
Think -> Morning & afternoon tea + lunch (Add a protein and a fresh salad at lunch)
Dietaries (no drama)
Can be matched to the main menu in look and flavour (Where possible)
Meals that are labelled clearly
Be clear about where dietary meals can be collected from. Are they placed with the guest or at a marked collection point?
Tell us coeliac vs “low-gluten”, vegan vs “no dairy by preference” - we’ll do the rest.
Service Tips for a Smooth Meeting
Keep service areas clear and accessible (i.e. a side table or credenza). Why is this important? If you are clearing a table of 20 people, you'll need a designated area to clear to in the room. This should be away from the boardroom table, but ensures you avoid multiple trips in-and-out of the room.
Place cold food first, hot food last
Drinks on a separate surface, but easily accessible for those quick water top ups
Provide essential items such as jugs, rubbish bins, napkins and additional clear glassware & cutlery. The less times you or meeting attendees need to leave the room, the better for the flow of the boardroom.
