Black Friday staff meals · Planning guide
Planning Black Friday staff meal catering in Toronto? Individually packed lunches can simplify handout for retail employees, warehouse teams and support staff taking short or staggered breaks. Send LunchLink the meal counts by shift, eating times and delivery access so suitable menus and delivery arrangements can be reviewed.
Black Friday is Friday, November 27, 2026; Cyber Monday follows on November 30. Request the actual dates your team needs meals. Send seasonal briefs at least 7 days ahead and begin 2–4 weeks ahead for 50+ people or complex logistics. Early delivery and additional drops require confirmation.
| Format | Useful when | Confirm before ordering |
|---|---|---|
| Individually packed wrap or sandwich meal | Short breaks with limited table space | Sides, packaging, dietary suitability and storage requirements |
| Hot boxed lunch | A protected eating period and suitable receiving setup | Arrival, holding arrangements and utensils with the selected kitchen |
| Separate shift allocations | Several breaks or locations | Meal counts, labels and whether separate delivery windows can be accepted |

Add-ons
Plan with confidence
Provide the staff entrance or loading location, security procedure, receiving contact and eating time. A requested early arrival, narrow window or additional drop is reviewed against partner and route capacity before acceptance.
Count meals for each service period. Confirm labels, storage or holding requirements and the person responsible for handout. Do not assume one delivery can cover an entire day without a suitable plan.
