Corporate Catering

Breakfast, lunch and events for Indianapolis offices, from a scratch kitchen that has been feeding this city since 1979.

CORPORATE AND OFFICE CATERING · INDIANAPOLIS

Catering that tastes like someone cooked it, because someone did

Most office catering comes off a line. Ours comes out of the same kitchen as our breakfast, lunch and bakery: the bread is baked that morning, the chicken salad and the dressings are made in house, the cookies in the lunch boxes are from the case. We have catered board meetings, trainings, client lunches, open houses and company holiday parties across Indianapolis since 1979.

Orders start at ten people with 24 hours' notice. We deliver and set up across Indianapolis, or you pick up at the shop. One catering manager handles your order from the first call to the table.

Good to know

Ordering for an office

The policies below are the ones on the catering menu. For anything not covered, the catering manager is a phone call away.

How much notice do you need for an office order?
At least 24 hours for any catering order; menu changes need 48 hours. Recurring orders, a weekly team lunch for example, can be set up once with the catering manager and run on a schedule.
What is the minimum?
Catering orders start at ten people. Boxed lunches are a minimum of five per sandwich type, entrees five per entree type, cocktail sandwiches and appetizers three dozen per type, and platters ten people. Delivery has a $150 order minimum.
Do you deliver and set up?
Yes, across Indianapolis. Delivery is $25; additional fees apply for orders over $500, locations outside Marion County, deliveries after 4 p.m. or outside normal business hours, and special requests. Food arrives on disposable trays unless you ask otherwise; disposable chafers for hot items are $20 each, and plates, silverware, napkins and cups can be added.
Can you invoice the company?
Catering orders are paid in full before pickup or delivery unless other arrangements have been made with the catering manager. Call 317.253.9513 to set up an account for recurring orders.
Can you handle dietary restrictions across a large group?
Yes. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are available across boxed lunches, entrees and trays, and boxes can be labeled by name. Tell the catering manager about allergies when you order; we cook in a shared kitchen.
Can you cater something that is not on the menu?
Often, yes. Ask the catering manager about items not on the menu; our chefs are happy to customize for a themed event or a specific request.
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancellations must reach the catering manager by email or in writing no later than 10 a.m. one business day before the scheduled pickup or delivery. Orders cancelled less than 24 hours in advance are charged in full.
Do you cater outside Indianapolis?
Yes, with additional delivery fees outside Marion County. Carmel, Zionsville, Fishers and the rest of the north side are regular stops. Ask when you order.
