Boxed Lunches
Individually boxed sandwich, croissant and salad lunches for offices, meetings and teams across Indianapolis, on bread baked that morning.
BOXED LUNCH CATERING · INDIANAPOLIS
A real lunch in a box, made in a scratch kitchen
Every box is built the morning it goes out: a sandwich on bread from our own ovens or a salad with housemade dressing and croutons, a side, and a cookie from the bakery case. Label each box for the person it is for, order the night before, and it is on the conference table when the meeting starts. Offices, schools, job sites, sports teams and funeral lunches have run on these boxes for years.
Pick your boxes
Twelve boxes, $12 to $18 a person, mix and match. Minimum 5 per sandwich type. Vegan and gluten-free options available; add a side for $2.

Boxed lunches for the whole office, or the whole team
Recurring weekly orders, a one-off board meeting, a crew on a job site, a tournament weekend near Butler: the order is the same, and the catering manager will help you build it. For plated or hot lunches, see corporate catering.
