How to feed a Perth CBD meeting without the fuss

How to feed a Perth CBD meeting without the fuss

G'day team. If you've ever been the one who has to sort lunch for a room full of people, you'll know the feeling. Someone wants vegan, someone's gluten free, and the meeting has moved to 12:30 without anyone telling you.

Here's how we'd approach it, from the people at The Deli by Greenhorns who do this every day.

Order early, and say how many

Give the caterer a headcount as soon as you have one, even if it's a rough one. Most offices sit between six and 20 people for a team lunch, and a good caterer can plan around that. If numbers change, let them know. A quick note is all it takes.

Think about what people can actually eat

Mix it up. A platter of sandwiches and wraps works well, but add a salad or two so the lighter eaters aren't left with crusts. Lay out dietary labels clearly so nobody has to ask.

Pick the right format

• Platters are an easy crowd-feeder for meetings and team lunches.
• Individual lunch boxes work well when people want to grab and go.
• Hot food suits longer sessions or a proper team lunch.
• Coffee keeps the morning moving. A hot coffee box goes a long way.

Book a delivery window that suits the room

Choose a delivery time that gives the food a bit of breathing room before the meeting starts. Tell the caterer where to drop it, which floor, and who to ask for. Little details like that save a lot of time on the day.

Keep it simple

The best office lunch is the one that turns up on time, looks after everyone and doesn't need chasing. That's what The Deli is here for.
