The Office Lunch Survival Guide

10 Things Every Office Manager, MD & CEO Must Check Before Ordering Takeaway Catering

Because one bad lunch order can ruin your reputation — and one great one makes you the office hero.

The Difference Between "Lunch Sorted" and "What Have We Done?"

Ordering office lunch sounds simple — right up until 40 portions arrive cold, half the team can't eat what they ordered, and the MD is staring at a leaky bag of disappointment while your colleagues quietly judge.

The truth is: ordering takeaway for your team isn't the same as ordering for yourself. Volume changes everything. Dietary requirements multiply. Delivery logistics become critical. And your reputation is on the line.
