Business lunch catering, though many believe they can easily cater for such an event, is not as easy as it appears to be. There are many factors that may cause failure, embarrassment, and much worse, make people ill.
Taking into account that you've obtained all your business licenses and paperwork in order, you have a commercial kitchen to use, are operating a legitimate business, and following all health and hygiene guidelines.
Before attempting catering for a large event of 200+ box lunches, you need practice on about 40 box lunches or less. Timing is of the utmost importance. If you are unsure about how long it may take to make sandwiches, you may find yourself making a late delivery to your client which can be disastrous. You also need to ensure proper hygiene and food preparation because any lapses may mean a person who eats the food can become ill.
You need to know that the lunch menu will depend on the time allotted by the client for the lunch event. Lunch will usually have some type of salad. For a continental menu, a business lunch catering would provide some cheeses. You can serve fresh fruit cuts, and a vegetable tray with dip. The business lunch catering can serve desserts that include ice cream sundaes or finger food. Make sure that you have asked your client if they prefer to have options for vegetarians and those with food allergy or special dietary needs.
If you are providing catering services involving packed or box lunches, ice cream may be very difficult to provide unless you own a refrigerated truck. In this case you need to prepare some other form of dessert that is easy to transport like a light cookie or pastry.
