Ordering

How does mixing the original box selections work?

The minimum is 10 boxes per selection, and you can order as many selections as your headcount supports. A team of 20 can take 10 Pasta Lunch Boxes and 10 Chicken Parmesan Lunch Boxes. A team of 15 is better served by 15 of one box, because a 10 and 5 split would leave the second selection under the minimum.

Inside the Pasta Lunch Box, people choose between three medium meatballs or roasted chickpeas and vegetables, and both boxes come with Penne Tomato Basil or Penne Rosé. List the counts you want on your quote request (for example, 14 with meatballs and 10 with chickpeas) and we confirm exactly how the order is packed in your written quote.

A practical tip from the ordering side: collect choices with a short form a few days before the 48-hour cut-off, then send one tidy list. Late changes are much easier to absorb before we confirm the quote than on the morning of delivery.

Labels

Labelled per person, so hand-out takes minutes

Send a name list with each person's selection and every box gets its own label. The person handing out lunch reads a name, passes a box, and moves on; nobody lifts lids to find the chickpea one.

If you have allergy requests, put them on the list with the person's name and tell us at the quote stage. We confirm ingredients and handling before accepting the order; see our dietary and allergen policy for what we can and cannot promise.

Boxes or buffet

When do boxed lunches beat a buffet?

Staggered breaks

Shift teams, clinics and call centres that eat in waves. Each person picks up a sealed box when their break starts instead of arriving at a half-empty buffet line.

Training rooms

Boxes go on desks or a side table without a buffet setup, so a workshop can break for 30 minutes and restart on time.

Field crews and site teams

A box travels. Supervisors can drop lunches at a site trailer or a vehicle bay where there is no table for trays.

Events with a hand-out

Volunteer days, school events and conferences where lunch is handed across a table. Named labels make it quick and keep counts honest.

A buffet still wins when everyone eats at the same time and you want choice: the Italian Lunch Essentials buffet is $13.95 per guest for 10 or more. Read our boxed lunches vs buffet guide or see all office catering options.

Planning estimates using published prices and the Toronto delivery fee, updated 2026-11-07. Your written quote confirms the final total.

Because cutlery and napkins are already in every box, the box price plus delivery and HST is the whole estimate. Outside Toronto, swap in the $50 inner GTA fee for Mississauga, Vaughan, Markham or Richmond Hill. Try other headcounts in the cost calculator.

Other formats

Need a buffet individually packaged?

Any buffet package can be individually packaged for $1.50 per guest, with the minimum for your selected buffet. That route suits an office that wants single portions of its selected menu. Compare the buffet packages and mention individual packaging on your quote.

Questions

What is the minimum boxed lunch order?

For the two original boxes, 10 boxes per selection. An order of 10 Pasta Lunch Boxes is complete on its own; so is 10 of each box, or any larger split where each selection has at least 10.

Can every box be labelled with a name?

Yes. Send a list of names with each person's selection and we label the boxes per person, so they can be handed out without opening lids.

Are cutlery and napkins included?

The two original boxes include individual packaging, cutlery and a napkin. The three additional pasta boxes are individually packed; confirm cutlery needs in your quote.

Is there a meat-free boxed lunch?

The Pasta Lunch Box can come with roasted chickpeas and vegetables instead of meatballs, with Penne Tomato Basil or Penne Rosé. Tell us the count and any allergies and we confirm ingredients before accepting the order.

How much notice do you need for boxed lunches?

At least 48 hours. Order earlier for big headcounts or December dates; availability is confirmed in your written quote.

Can I get a buffet package individually packaged instead?

Yes. Individual packaging is an add-on for buffet meals at $1.50 per guest, with the minimum for your selected buffet. Confirm the selected dishes and quantity in your quote.
