How do you order bubble tea catering for an office?

The ordering process starts with your headcount and event timing, then confirms flavours, drink preferences, individual choices and delivery details. Use these five steps to prepare a clear request.

• Step 1: Confirm the headcount and event time. Note whether the order is for 10 or more people, and when drinks should arrive for the break or celebration.

• Step 2: Select up to three flavours. Keeping the group to three flavours makes an office order easier to organize and distribute.

• Step 3: Confirm sweetness and ice. Sweetness, ice and milk alternatives are confirmed with the supplier before the order is finalized.

• Step 4: Collect one choice per person by a cutoff. Use LunchLink’s office lunch order form template to collect names and selections before the supplier’s cutoff.

• Step 5: Confirm the delivery window and receiving contact. Give the delivery window, office location and the person who will receive the drinks. An enquiry does not confirm an order, and notice varies by restaurant and menu.

What should you ask about milk, non-dairy options and allergies?

Ask about the tea base, milk choice, topping ingredients and cross-contact before collecting final selections. A non-dairy creamer is not always milk-free, so a non-dairy request should be checked with the selected kitchen.

LunchLink states that halal, gluten-free and dairy-free requests are checked with the selected kitchen, including ingredients and cross-contact. Share these requests early rather than leaving them for delivery day.

Milk is one of the priority allergens identified by Health Canada’s food allergy guidance. Record the person’s name beside the request, then ask how the drink and topping will be identified when delivered.

How should you handle cold holding and delivery?

Keep the drinks cold at or below 4°C and serve them soon after arrival. Assign one receiving contact so the order can move from delivery to cold holding without sitting out.

Health Canada advises keeping cold foods at or below 4°C and throwing out perishables that have been out for more than two hours. Read the guidance on cold food storage and time limits when planning the receiving point.

Standard delivery includes parking, floor delivery and basic setup for $40. Confirm the delivery window, access instructions and receiving contact in advance. Labels and a firm selection cutoff also make distribution more manageable when each drink has a different name, flavour or preference.

When is a delivered order better than a staffed bubble tea bar?

Delivered drinks suit an office that wants prepared beverages distributed at a set time, while a staffed bar is worth considering when guests need drinks made on site. The choice depends on the event format, service expectation and setup needs.

For a delivered order, decide the headcount, up to three flavours, sweetness, ice, milk choice, toppings and labels before the cutoff. That is all an office of 10 or more people needs to receive individually prepared drinks without a bar setup.

LunchLink publishes optional servers at $40 per staff-hour for setup and service. A bar where drinks are made in front of guests is a different service, so ask in the quote whether the selected supplier offers it.

Frequently asked questions

What is included in LunchLink’s bubble tea catering?

LunchLink’s Bubble Tea Social package includes one 500 mL milk tea or fruit tea and one topping per guest, with up to three flavours for the group. Tea and Treat adds one cookie and one mini brownie per guest. Celebration Tea Break adds one mini cheesecake cup and one fruit cup per guest. Delivery, tax and optional services are extra.

How many people can order bubble tea catering?

The proposed minimum is 10 guests, and the minimum is confirmed in the quote. Larger groups use the same plan: collect one named choice per person, limiting the group to three flavours and confirming sweetness, ice, milk alternatives and toppings before the supplier’s cutoff.

Can an office choose different sweetness, ice and milk options?

Yes, sweetness, ice and milk alternatives are confirmed with the supplier. Collect each person’s choice before the cutoff so the request is clear. Ask about milk bases and toppings as well: non-dairy creamer is not always milk-free, and the selected kitchen must check ingredients and cross-contact for relevant dietary requests.

How should bubble tea be stored after delivery?

Keep delivered drinks cold at or below 4°C and serve them soon after arrival. Assign a receiving contact, confirm the delivery window and move the drinks into cold holding promptly. Health Canada says perishables left out for more than two hours should be thrown out, so your office should plan the receiving and serving sequence.

Should an office choose delivered drinks or a staffed bar?

Choose delivered drinks when the office wants prepared beverages handed out at a set time. A bar where drinks are made on site is a different service; ask whether the selected supplier offers it. LunchLink publishes optional servers at $40 per staff-hour for setup and service. Confirm the service format, timing and setup in the quote.
