We provide a free lunch for about 40 people once a month, which is awesome. We’ve mostly stuck to basics like pizza, cold-cut subs, or fried chicken with sides. I feel like we could explore so many more options since we have a huge variety of cuisines available in our city... Thai, Mexican, Dominican, Indian, and more. What have you tried that has worked well? I appreciate any suggestions for something different.

Just use the choices you cite and create a poll. You could make one in Google Forms, just list the choices and have people pick their preference. Go with whatever gets the most votes.

I love the idea of switching things up and keeping lunch exciting. One thing that helped us was sending out a quick survey to see what people were interested in. It turns out the best ideas come straight from the team.

I worked for an accounting firm and we had to come up with lunch every Saturday for about 50 people. Besides the usual rotation of pizza, we did taco bars, Chinese buffet, Mediterranean with kabobs and grilled veggies, pasta bar, baked potato bar and sandwich boxes, among other things. You have to keep in mind that you won’t please everyone or you will go crazy trying, but we found most people appreciated the variety, even if that week wasn’t their favorite. Pizza gets old after weekend 3! Eventually they did away with the group lunch and gave everyone a set amount to order from a corporate GrubHub account. Not as much fun, if you ask me, and ruined the camaraderie built during Saturday lunches because people either ate at their desk or waited for lunch to be delivered and then left for the day since no one would miss them at lunchtime.

I think you may want to use a survey for people's preferences and dietary requirements.

Anything with bowls. Giant salad bar is one of the most popular. Burrito bowls. Asian bowls. Mediterranean bowls. So many bowls lol

Qdoba or Chipotle is a favorite at our office. And they do great at catering for any size group.

I do all of them! I do weekly lunch and provide everything from Pho to Po' boys. It stands out and people have learned about a lot of different cusines. It also allows for better pricing, and a variety of dietary needs are naturally met.

Depending on your budget and what's around your address, I usually use EZ catering for burgers, Asian food, Korean food, BBQ , cold and hot sandwiches, Mexican food, or Korean fried chicken, pastas, pizza and wings, or southern food buffet style.

A firm I was at would order lunch for us, they took surveys and got some great responses. One of the favorites was PF Changs! Chipotle/Qdoba and Noodles.
