Plan with confidence
The operational details behind the menu.
Use this page for the broader private occasion
Plan anniversaries, showers, backyard meals, reunions and other private celebrations here. Use the dedicated birthday, wedding or holiday guide when that occasion changes the cake, ceremony, seasonal timing or venue plan.
Choose a format for the space
Individual meals can simplify seating and dietary labels. Platters and family-style menus suit a shared table; buffets and stations need enough setup space, guest-flow time, holding equipment and service responsibility.
Choose delivery-only or staffed support
Standard delivery includes floor delivery, parking and basic setup. LunchLink can also quote servers, rentals, chafing equipment, beverage stations, cake service, leftovers, garbage removal, venue coordination and cleanup.
Confirm access and the end-of-event plan
Document parking, the handoff point, stairs or elevator, tables, power or flame restrictions, refrigeration, serving tools, waste, leftovers, equipment pickup and the person authorized to make venue decisions.
