Waiter.com delivers group meals to offices in San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle, Dallas, and Raleigh/Durham. From a taco bar for 30 to a fully managed program for 200, we match the right ordering format to your group size, budget, and dietary needs, then handle everything from restaurant coordination to on-time delivery. No spreadsheets. No chasing orders. Just lunch, handled.

Ordering food for a group is not the same problem at every scale. Twenty people is a straightforward catering order. Two hundred people is a logistics operation. Most food apps are built for one person ordering dinner. Waiter was built for the office admin who has to feed an entire floor, and we have been doing it for 30 years.

We work directly with local restaurants in every market we serve to keep orders fresh, on time, and built around your team’s preferences. No coordinating on your end. No chasing people down for their orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I order food for a large group at the office?

The easiest way is to use a corporate catering platform built for teams. Share your group size, dietary needs, and delivery window with Waiter.com and we coordinate the restaurant, portion the order, and deliver on time. For recurring group meals, our Custom Cafe program lets each team member order individually through a shared portal.

What are the easiest foods to order for a large group at work?

Taco bars, pizza, pasta bars, and salad stations work best because they handle dietary variety without requiring a fixed per-person menu. Build-your-own formats let people self-select, which reduces waste and eliminates the need to track individual restrictions across the whole order.

How far in advance do I need to order for a large group?

For groups of 20 to 50 people, 24 to 48 hours is usually enough. For 75 to 150 people, plan for 3 to 5 business days. For 150 or more, start the conversation at least a week out. Last-minute orders for smaller teams are possible through Meals on Demand depending on availability in your city.

Can Waiter handle group orders with dietary restrictions?

Yes. You share your team’s dietary requirements once and we factor them into every restaurant recommendation going forward. For teams with highly varied needs, Custom Cafe is the best fit, since each person orders their own meal from a curated list.
