Why office catering is a strategic investment
Office lunch catering isn't just about feeding staff — it's about productivity, retention and workplace culture. Teams that share regular meals report higher collaboration and lower turnover. For HR teams and executive assistants tasked with "finding something for the team", a reliable caterer is worth its weight in gold.
We've been catering Melbourne workplaces for a decade — from 5-person startups in Richmond to 200-person quarterly lunches at corporate HQs in the CBD. Here's what we've learned.
The 5 most popular office lunch formats in Melbourne
1. Individual lunch packs (the hybrid-work favourite). Each guest receives their own wrapped sandwich or wrap, a piece of fruit and a cookie. Ideal for hybrid teams, training sessions and board meetings. Hygienic, portion-controlled, zero waste.
2. Shared sandwich platters. Our ribbon and gourmet sandwich platters are a Melbourne classic, perfect for casual team lunches. See the full catering collection.
3. Hot finger food. Arancini, spring rolls, sliders, mini quiches — great for client presentations and Friday wrap-ups. Browse canapés & finger food.
4. Grazing platters. Elegant and mingling-friendly. Ideal for team celebrations, board meetings and farewells. Browse our grazing platters.
5. Hot meals / roast catering. For boardroom lunches and offsite days — delivered hot and ready to serve.

Dietary requirements — we've got you
Melbourne offices are diverse. Every lunch we deliver includes:

- Nut-free preparation

This matters. Nothing derails a team lunch faster than one colleague being unable to eat.

- Order one variety per 5 guests to keep the menu interesting
- Always add 10% extra for unannounced guests
- Schedule delivery 15 minutes before start to give you a buffer
- Rotate menus monthly to avoid team fatigue
- Use individual packs for client meetings — they look far more polished
