When you are having a big office get together where everyone will be eating, there are a lot of ways that you can make sure that there is plenty of food for everyone. Here are a few ideas for a meal that everyone will enjoy. 

Potluck

One thing you can do is organize a potluck. With this method, your employees bring in various dishes for everyone to share. You may want to provide the main dish and let your employees provide all the rest. For example, if you are going to have a Thanksgiving get together, you may provide the turkeys while your employees make all the sides and desserts. There are several ways that you can arrange a potluck. One way is that you can let everyone know that there is going to be a get together and that people need to bring in food that day. If you do it that way, you can't always be sure what you'll end up with. Another way is to use a sign-up sheet of some sort. Everyone will sign up and put what they are bringing. That way you won't end up with 12 people bring brownies. You could also arrange various departments to do different kinds of things. For example, HR may be assigned to bring salads, but payroll has to bring pies. 

Catering

Another thing you can do is to have your get together catered. There are a lot of benefits to this. One is that your employees don't have to worry about making something and bringing it into work. After all, your employees are busy outside of work and you don't want to add more to it if you don't have to. Another benefit is that the caterers can come in and set up the food and clean up the mess when everything is done, that way you aren't losing productivity time after the get together.

When you arrange for a catering service, there are al kinds of choices out there. You can arrange for a particular cuisine, such as Chinese or Mexican, or you can set it up so that you have a buffet so that there are plenty of choices. If you want to make sure that people can just grab something when they have the chance, you may want to consider something like catering deli sandwiches from a business like Cogman's Creek. They can be put in a cooler or left on a table for people to grab as they want. 

If you are going to have a big get together at work, you want to make sure that your employees have enough to eat.
