Office Catering
Office Lunch Catering Joliet Actually Looks Forward To
Office lunch catering in Joliet usually means the same tired sandwich platter. We bring a build-your-own bowl bar instead, so everyone eats what they want and nobody fights over the last turkey wrap.
Why a bowl bar works for office lunch
Every office has the person who eats vegetarian, the person avoiding gluten, the person who wants double meat and the person who just wants it to taste good. A bowl bar handles all of them at once. Each guest picks a base, a dip, a protein, toppings and a sauce. Same idea as our counter, just set up for your team.
It is the same food we serve on Route 59 every day. Produce chopped daily, meat carved from the spit, sauces made in house.
What you can order for the office
Here is what we offer. The full lineup lives on our catering menu at catering.ambagrill.com.
- Build-your-own bowl bar: bases like saffron turmeric rice and mixed greens, hummus and dips, proteins, toppings and drizzles
- Party Trays ($59.99): chicken shawarma or tawook wraps with fresh-cut fries and choice of dip. Steak is +$10
- Family Feast Meal ($49.99, feeds 4 to 6): chicken shawarma, tawook, roasted veg or falafel with large saffron rice, hummus, pita, salads, sauces and a half gallon of ginger mint lemonade
- Prices are from our in-store menu and can change.
How much food do I need for an office lunch?
That depends on your team. A crew coming off a long shift eats differently than a quick lunch-and-learn. We would rather size it with you than hand you a chart that is wrong half the time.
Tell us your headcount and date and we will size it and confirm the price. Let us know how many guests are vegetarian or gluten free so the bar has enough of the right stuff.
Dietary needs your team will ask about
Our in-store menu marks items V and GF. Falafel and roasted veg cover vegetarians. Saffron rice and greens are marked GF, as are every dip and most proteins. Tawook, by the way, is chicken marinated and grilled, Lebanese style. Spicy items like harissa and spicy feta can sit on the side for the brave.
Got someone with a serious allergy? Put it in your inquiry and we will talk it through with you.
What makes it easy on the person ordering
If you are the one who got stuck planning lunch, we get it. You want food that shows up right, feeds everybody and gets compliments in the break room. Here is how we keep it simple.
One form, one conversation. Send us the date, the headcount and any dietary notes, and we come back with what we suggest and the price. Want to change the protein mix or add dessert? Just tell us.
The food travels well. Rice, hummus, dips, salads and sauces hold up on a table while people trickle in from meetings. Wraps from the Party Trays are easy for folks who eat at their desks.
And if your team wants a taste test first, come by the shop. Every bowl is built in front of you, and you can ask for a taste of anything.
