Boxing Day staff meals · Planning guide
LunchLink reviews Boxing Day staff meal catering requests for Toronto retail, warehouse and support teams. Individual boxes or hot lunches can be planned around staggered breaks, with the menu, holiday delivery window and receiving arrangements confirmed for each request. Include Boxing Week dates separately when more than one service is needed.
Boxing Day falls on Saturday, December 26, 2026. An office closure or observed holiday does not establish when your team works. Confirm the actual shift roster. Submit the complete seasonal request at least 7 days ahead; start 2–4 weeks ahead for larger or complex plans.
| Format | Useful when | Confirm before ordering |
|---|---|---|
| Individual lunch boxes | Retail employees taking staggered breaks | Allocation by shift, included utensils and agreed labels |
| Hot staff lunch | A scheduled warehouse or support-team meal | Current kitchen availability, delivery window and holding arrangements |
| Several service dates | Teams working across Boxing Week | A separate meal count, access contact and accepted service window for each date |
For a shorter notice period, review general same-day request options. They do not guarantee a seasonal menu or holiday delivery.

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.

Provide requirements and counts before choosing the menu. The selected partner must confirm ingredients, substitutions, labels and cross-contact limitations; a meal name is not a dietary guarantee.
Individual meals, shared platters, and buffet-style service may be considered when the room and agenda support them. The selected format and current menu must be confirmed for the occasion.
Record menu, quantities by shift, dietary selections, packaging, serviceware, delivery windows and any additional drops. Ask for delivery, service and applicable tax to be stated separately.
