How to Order Catering for Your Office Lunch in Monmouth County | Daisy's Deli
You've got a meeting coming up. Or a client visit. Or it's someone's birthday and you drew the short straw on lunch. Whatever the reason, you need food for a group and you don't want it to be sad pizza from a chain.
We've been catering office lunches across Monmouth County since we opened, and we've learned a few things about what makes it go smoothly. Here's a simple guide to ordering catering that your whole office will actually enjoy.
Step 1: Know Your Headcount and Budget
This sounds obvious, but it's the number one thing people forget to nail down before calling. Here's a general rule of thumb for sub and wrap platters: plan on about one full sub or wrap per person for lunch. If you're doing a mix of subs and salads, you can go a little lighter on each.
For a group of 10-15 people, a combination of a sub platter, a wrap platter, and a couple of homemade salads is usually the sweet spot. Nobody goes hungry and there's enough variety that even the pickiest eater in the office finds something they love.
Step 2: Give Us a Day's Notice (More Is Better)
We can sometimes accommodate same-day orders if it's early enough, but a day's notice lets us make everything fresh without rushing. For larger orders (25+ people), two to three days is ideal.

Step 3: Think About the Dietary Mix
Every office has someone who's gluten-free, vegetarian, or just doesn't eat pork. We've got you covered. Our wrap options come in whole wheat, flour, sun-dried tomato, and spinach. Our green salads and homemade chicken salad are crowd-pleasers for lighter eaters. Just let us know your group's needs and we'll build a spread that works for everyone.
Step 4: Don't Forget the Sides
The subs are the main event, but the homemade salads are what people remember. Our homemade chicken salad, macaroni salad, and coleslaw are all made from scratch daily. Add a tray or two and watch them disappear.
Step 5: Pickup or Delivery
We're located at 502 Waverly Ave in Neptune — easy access right off the Parkway and Route 66. Pickup is always an option, and we can discuss delivery for orders in Neptune, Tinton Falls, Wall Township, Asbury Park, Ocean Grove, Bradley Beach, Spring Lake, Sea Girt, Manasquan, and Shark River Hills.
Why Offices Keep Coming Back
We use Boar's Head meats, Bell & Evans chicken, and Vrola premium steaks. Everything is sliced fresh — nothing is pre-packaged or sitting in a cooler from yesterday. When your coworkers bite into one of our subs, they're going to ask who ordered and where it came from. And that's when you become the office hero.
