Ordering lunch for a team is simple once you know the four things the kitchen will ask for. This guide walks through them in order, using the packages and prices published on our corporate catering page, so you can send a complete brief in one message and get a quote back within 24 business hours.
Start with four numbers
Every quote starts from the same brief. Have these ready before you call:
- Headcount, with a rough split between vegetarian and non-vegetarian guests.
- Date and serving time, plus the floor or meeting room the food goes to.
- Format: packed boxes at desks, or a buffet with serving staff.
- Budget band per plate, even if it is approximate.
Pick a package by what the lunch is for
The four corporate packages are priced per plate, ex GST (5% on food), with delivery included within 10 km of our Hitech City kitchen.
| Package | Per plate | Minimum | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily Office Meals | ₹180 to ₹250 | 20 plates | Recurring lunch or dinner, Monday to Friday, packed boxes |
| Team Lunch and Working Sessions | ₹350 to ₹500 | 10 plates | Sprint lunches, hackathons, launches, 10 to 200 guests |
| Corporate Celebrations | ₹600 to ₹900 | 50 plates | Annual day, Diwali, Eid and year-end parties |
| Client Hosting and Premium Events | ₹900 to ₹1,500 | 10 plates | Board dinners, partner summits, leadership offsites |
For most office lunches the choice is between the first two rows. If the same group eats on a schedule, Daily Office Meals is the cheaper format. If it is a one-off for a working session, Team Lunch is the right fit. We compare the two in detail in daily office meal programme vs one-off catering.
What a 10, 50 and 200 person order looks like
A team of 10 to 20. The Team Lunch package starts at 10 plates. You get one starter, biryani plus two curries, breads, raita and dessert, served from chafing dishes with one server per 40 guests. A 10-plate order is ₹3,500 to ₹5,000 plus GST.
A team of 50. At 50 plates the same package is ₹17,500 to ₹25,000 plus 5% GST, with serving staff at one server per 40 guests and one coordinator for the event. Food goes from kitchen to table inside 90 minutes.
A team of 200. At 200 plates expect ₹70,000 to ₹1,00,000 plus GST on the Team Lunch package, with five servers. Orders of this size with a custom menu need 5 to 7 working days. If the event is a celebration rather than a lunch, the Corporate Celebrations package adds a second starter, a third main, two desserts and a live counter.
You can check any headcount yourself with the corporate catering cost calculator before you ask for a firm quote.
Getting the veg and non-veg mix right
Count the vegetarians rather than guessing. The two lines are cooked and packed separately, so the split you give us is the split that arrives. A sample Team Lunch menu runs on two parallel tracks:
| Course | Vegetarian | Non-vegetarian |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | Paneer tikka or hara bhara kebab | Chicken tikka or seekh kebab |
| Biryani | Zafrani veg dum biryani | Chicken dum biryani |
| Curries | Shahi paneer, dal makhani | Chicken korma, dal makhani |
| Bread and sides | Butter naan, tandoori roti, raita, salad | Butter naan, tandoori roti, mirchi ka salan, raita |
| Dessert | Gulab jamun or phirni | Gulab jamun or phirni |
All meat is halal-certified. Jain, pure vegetarian and allergy-aware menus are available on request; mention them in the brief so the kitchen plans them from the start. The full dish list, with prices for individual items, is on the menu.
Lead times
- Team lunches under 50 guests: 24 to 48 hours is usually enough.
- Events of 100 or more with a custom menu: 5 to 7 working days.
- Same-day orders: accepted subject to kitchen capacity. Call before you plan around it.
- Recurring daily programmes: most clients start with a 30-day pilot, then sign a longer contract.
Delivery, pickup and set-up on the day
Catering orders are cooked at our kitchen at The Skyview 10, Hitech City Main Road, and delivered to your office. Delivery is included within 10 km of the kitchen, which covers Hitec City, Gachibowli, Madhapur, Kondapur and the Financial District. Beyond 10 km there is a flat ₹1,500 per event.
For the Team Lunch package and above, buffet set-up, chafing dishes, serving spoons and uniformed serving staff are included. Daily Office Meals arrive individually packed and sealed, with no on-site set-up. If you would rather collect a small order yourself, the outlet at The Skyview 10 takes pickup orders Monday to Friday, 11:30 AM to 10:30 PM, through the order page.
Optional add-ons are priced per plate: beverages (water, soft drinks, lassi) ₹40, a second dessert ₹40, an extra live counter ₹80, and extra serving staff beyond the package ratio ₹25.
How the paperwork works
We are a GST-registered vendor (GSTIN 36FLAPS4447B1Z5, FSSAI Reg. No. 23625032004903). One-off orders get a single GST invoice; recurring programmes are billed monthly and work with purchase orders. Vendor onboarding with your procurement team is done once and reused for every order after that.
