Frequently asked

Answers before you book.

Large-order pricing and minimums depend on the selected kitchen, current menu, quantities, address, timing, and service requirements.

Purchasing, invoicing, deposits, tax treatment, and supplier-onboarding requirements must be shared before the order is accepted.

Share the date, complete address, headcount, budget range, desired eating time, serving format, dietary requirements, room setup, and onsite contact. These details allow current options to be reviewed accurately.

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.

Collect requirements before the ordering cutoff and share them in the brief. Available dishes, substitutions, labels, ingredients, and cross-contact practices depend on the selected restaurant.

LunchLink reviews the requested time, building access, room, loading or reception instructions, and onsite handoff. The final delivery window and responsibilities are documented with the accepted arrangement.

Pricing, minimum orders, delivery, setup, staffing, rentals, tax, and other applicable terms are confirmed in the quote. A planning page does not guarantee a particular price or restaurant.

Optional, privacy-first analytics

LunchLink can use Google Tag Manager and a short allowlist of conversion events to understand public-page and request-path performance. Analytics and advertising storage stay denied until you choose otherwise. Advertising measurement can connect an accepted request to its campaign and build consented audiences; form answers are never placed in the data layer. Essential features work either way.
