How It Works
1. Initial Consultation
Provide us with the following information:
- How often (and on which days) you need catering
- Cuisine preferences, dietary requirements, and budget
- Delivery instructions, COI for your building, etc.
- See an example meal plan outline
2. Meal Planning on Your Cadence
We'll work around your schedule and tailor the program to your demands:
- How far in advance should we plan meals - weekly, biweekly, monthly?
- By which day of the week should we have meals planned for you and your employees?
- How much oversight you'd like over the meal program - should CaterCow figure it out, or do you want to check over a meal plan draft first?
3. Feedback and Check-In
After your meals are delivered, we'll check in with you on how everything is going, and take actions accordingly:
- Put certain restaurants on a consistent rotation
- Add extra protein for taco bars if your team is full of meat lovers
- Add more vegetarian options and gluten-free options to all orders moving forward
- Remove any restaurants from the rotation that you weren't completely satisfied with
On top of that, we'll make sure meals are thoughtfully planned (no repeating Mediterranean in the same week!) The goal is for CaterCow to effectively do your meal-planning job!

Why Implement an Office Lunch & Catering Program
Employee Happiness & Wellness
Who doesn't like free food!? Starting a meal program and ordering catering for the team sends a message that you care about the wellbeing of your employees. Especially during the pandemic when others are working from home, you might need to provide corporate lunch as a perk to encourage folks back! Happy bellies = happy employees!
Hygiene and Sanitation
When you start an office lunch program, you minimize the exposure from employees leaving the office to get food. No more cramming into the elevator during the lunch rush! You’re also limiting the number of delivery people who come into your building. While CaterCow can also provide buffet style meals, individual meals are the norm during the pandemic to prevent the sharing of trays and serving utensils. If your team is extra cautious, you may choose to go with individually-packaged meals and skip buffet style meals all together to prevent the sharing of trays and serving utensils.
Culture Building & Productivity
The magic happens when everyone eats together. Shared meals encourage communication, collaboration, and bonding, making everyone’s work better! Catered meals allow folks of different teams and seniority to all come together. Forget having your employees leave for 1 hour to get lunch and waste time in long lines!
Variety
We all know there are only 5 go-to restaurants when you eat around the office. Your teammates deserve a variety of cuisines to explore and enjoy. CaterCow works with hundreds of restaurants and caterers that are curated for food quality and vetted for punctual deliveries. Enjoy a wide array of foods as well as seasonal menus!
