How to Plan an Office Thanksgiving Lunch in NYC
An office Thanksgiving lunch is a great way to bring employees together before the holiday weekend. But organizing food for an entire team in Manhattan can quickly become complicated. Choosing the right office Thanksgiving catering in NYC can make the event much easier to manage.
The first step is determining your guest count. Knowing approximately how many people will attend helps you choose between family-style catering, individual lunch boxes, or a combination of both.
Choose the Right Thanksgiving Menu
A traditional Thanksgiving lunch may include turkey, seasonal sides, salads, and desserts. Depending on the size and style of your office event, you may also want easier options such as Thanksgiving-inspired lunch boxes for employees who need to eat during meetings or at their desks.
For larger gatherings, family-style catering creates a more traditional holiday experience and allows employees to choose from several dishes.
Remember to consider dietary preferences when planning your order. Including vegetarian options and a variety of sides makes it easier to accommodate a larger team.
Don’t Forget Dessert
Dessert is an important part of any Thanksgiving celebration. Seasonal pies, cakes, cookies, and other baked treats can turn a standard office lunch into a more festive event.
Desserts can also work well for smaller employee appreciation events when a full Thanksgiving meal isn’t necessary.
Plan Delivery Early
Thanksgiving is one of the busiest catering periods of the year in New York City. Offices in Midtown, SoHo, Flatiron, Madison Avenue, and throughout Manhattan should consider placing orders early, especially for larger groups.
Confirm your delivery address, preferred arrival time, guest count, and any building delivery instructions before finalizing the order.
