It's 11:15AM on a Tuesday. You're confirming headcount, checking dietary restrictions, coordinating delivery times, and answering questions about what's for lunch. By the time the food arrives, lunch has become a project of its own.
If you're responsible for feeding a team of 100 or more, you know the struggle. It's about keeping lunch consistent, accommodating different needs, and making sure the whole process runs smoothly day after day.
That's where a recurring office lunch program can help. Ocaso, part of Contigo Hospitality Group, provides chef-made meals for Austin offices, with flexible scheduling and the choice of drop-off or staffed service.
Here's what to look for in a program and how to find the right fit for your team.
Daily lunch isn't an event. It's a routine.
Catering a one-time event is different from feeding an office week after week. With daily lunch, the goal isn't just to make a great impression once. It's to create a reliable experience your team can count on.
A successful office lunch program comes down to a few key things:
Consistency: Meals arrive on time and are ready to serve, so lunch fits into the your workday.
Variety: Rotating menus keep meals interesting and give you something different to look forward to.
Dietary accommodations: Clear menu information and thoughtful planning accounts for allergies and dietary
restrictions.Simplicity: A recurring schedule and one point of contact mean less time spent coordinating individual orders and deliveries.
How Ocaso's daily lunch program works
Give us the details.
We learn your headcount, schedule, dietary needs, and how your team likes to eat. We'll also look at what your space can handle, from break rooms to boardrooms, then build a custom proposal around your team.
Check the menu
You'll always know what's coming the next week, so you can share it with your team ahead of time.
Enjoy your lunch
Fresh, chef-made meals arrive on time, ready to enjoy. Your team's feedback shapes future menus, so lunch keeps getting better week after week.
Pricing is built around your team size and schedule. Some offices do lunch every day; others choose two or three days a week.
choose your service: Drop-off or staffed
A buffet-style spread is delivered and set up, ready for your team to serve themselves. It's a straightforward option for offices that want lunch ready to enjoy without on-site service staff.
Best for: Offices looking for a simple, convenient lunch setup.
Our crew stays on site to serve your team, help keep the line moving, and handle cleanup. It's a more hands-on option for larger teams or offices that want extra support during service.
Best for: Larger teams and offices that prefer a more hosted experience.
Not sure which is right for your office? We'll help you find the best fit.
What a week of office lunch can look like:
Menus rotate to keep things interesting, while dietary needs remain part of the planning process, helping teams plan meals with confidence. The result is a lunch routine that offers variety without someone at the office adding menu planning to their to do list.
Catering for the everyday and the big moments
Ocaso makes everyday office lunch easier. When it's time for a holiday party, product launch, employee appreciation
event, or company-wide gathering, Contigo is your go to.
Both brands are part of Contigo Hospitality Group, serving Austin companies across a range of catering needs.
