🍱 Boxed lunch for a meeting? Order headcount 0-10% buffer (not the 15-20% you'd add for a buffet). Every box labeled at the kitchen, no shared utensils, no cross-contact risk. Full guide:

🍜 A 200-person eng org averages 40-80 vegan, 10-30 halal/kosher, 6-16 GF, and a hybrid Wed/Fri headcount swing of 2-3x. Tech catering isn't normal catering. The playbook:

🥗 1/8 tsp of flour = 75 mg of gluten. The celiac threshold is 20 mg/day. That is why "gluten-friendly" buffets fail for celiac team members and boxed lunches do not. Full guide:

🍽️ Most "bad caterer" stories are really "wrong caterer for the event." Choose by lead time, cuisine fit, and dietary coverage, not by Yelp stars.

🍱 Hot breakfast buffets need 45 minutes of setup. At 8 AM you do not have 45 minutes. Why boxed breakfast wins for morning meetings: drop-off delivery, grab-and-go, dietary labels per box, and the headcount math you can actually trust.

🍱 Allergy in the office? The catering format is the safety system. Why individually packaged boxed lunches beat buffets for the FDA Big 9, the labeling protocol, and the cross-contact landmines no shared serving line can solve.

🥗 Covering vegan, GF, halal, kosher, and nut-free in one office order adds just $2–$5 per person. The trick: overlap math, not extra trays.

⚖️ 20 attorneys at $500/hr 30 wasted minutes on a bad lunch order = $5,000 in unbilled time. A month of well-managed catering costs less. Law firm catering math:
