A good office lunch starts with a few decisions: how many people are eating, when lunch begins and whether the team has time to sit down. Once those are clear, choosing the food gets much easier.
At Princess Pita, our Mediterranean catering menu includes shawarma, kababs, falafel, salads and dips. Here is a practical way to turn those choices into a lunch for an office in Phoenix, Mesa or Tempe.
For a working lunch, find out whether people will eat at their desks, sit around a meeting table or move through a buffet. A menu that works for a relaxed team lunch may be awkward when everyone has a laptop open and only a short break.
Before selecting food, write down:
Give one person responsibility for the final count. That prevents separate replies in email or a team chat from turning into an inaccurate order.
A buffet lets guests choose their own combination. Start with a main such as chicken or beef shawarma, add a separate falafel option, then choose sides and dips. Rice, salad, hummus and pita can make the meal feel complete without adding a different main dish for every preference.
Keep each dish in its own serving area. Put a serving utensil with every tray, leave room for plates at the beginning of the line, and place drinks somewhere that will not hold up the food queue.
Our catering menu also lists Traditional Chicken Shawarma and Traditional Beef Shawarma trays, with the wraps cut into shareable pieces. Check the selected tray description and included sides before ordering. These are shared trays, so do not assume they arrive as individually labeled or boxed lunches.
If individually packed meals are important for your meeting, ask the location what it can offer before placing the order.
Plan the vegetarian portion of the order at the same time as the meat dishes. A salad alone may not be the lunch a guest expected.
A starting point is falafel, hummus and a salad, with pita where suitable. Ask about the full dish and its accompaniments when someone needs a vegan meal or has an allergy. A sauce or garnish can change whether a selection fits their needs.
Also count people who may choose falafel simply because they like it. If the tray is only large enough for the declared vegetarian guests, the first people through the line can unintentionally leave those guests without their planned main.
Princess Pita has locations in Midtown Phoenix, South Phoenix, Mesa and Tempe. Check the restaurant selected in the ordering system before you submit the order.
For pickup, give the person collecting lunch the correct location, order name and confirmed ready time. For a delivery request, first confirm that delivery is available for the address and event time. Include any relevant suite, entrance, parking and contact details when arranging it.
Do not assume everyday restaurant hours establish catering availability or that the closest branch will automatically receive your order.
Use the serving information for each selected tray size. A protein tray, a salad tray and a container of sauce are not interchangeable units. Confirm whether the stated servings describe a main course or a side, especially if you are planning a buffet with several dishes.
Review the final total and any order minimum, lead time, delivery charge, serviceware charge or cancellation terms shown during checkout. These details can differ by location and ordering channel.
Ask about disposable chafing dishes and servingware when placing the order. Confirm what is included, what is extra and whether your building permits the proposed warming equipment.
