"I love working with Thriver! My team deals with a lot of requests for in-office catering, and their knowledge about local vendors is indispensable when there are so many options to choose from. The Culture Expert program has especially been useful for us in finding vendors to provide unique & customized offerings when needed. They are always prompt and patient, and have been so helpful for us these last few months as we get back to being in-office again!"

Our Chicago caterers can provide office catering for large and small groups. Some of our corporate caterers have a minimum or maximum headcount, while others have no crowd size limitations at all. If you have questions about your group size, you can contact the caterer directly on our marketplace - they’ll get back to you quickly.
Many Thriver marketplace catering professionals are able to accommodate a wide range of dietary restrictions, including common food allergies and sensitivities. Communicate directly with your caterer to inquire about gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan, kosher or other dishes. Some caterers are happy to package meals individually, clearly label the dishes, or bring a list of the ingredients in a dish to ensure the safety of your team members.
Yes, most of our Chicago catering services providers are happy to individually package your meals, if they don’t already as a matter of policy. If you have questions about how the food is packaged, or you want to ask for customizations for packaging or delivery, contact your provider through our platform, and they’ll get back to you soon.
Yes - just let your caterer know that you’ll need plates, napkins and silverware - many will even provide salt and pepper and other condiments. Ask your caterer about special needs before you book, or let them know what you need during the booking process. They’ll be happy to do what they can to accommodate your wishes.
While you can place an order as far in advance as you prefer, it’s a good idea to give your caterer at least a couple of weeks’ notice so there’s plenty of time to prepare and manage any special requests you have. Corporate food catering in Chicago is popular among companies of all sizes, and many caterers book up fast during holidays and other special times of the year - so the more notice you can give, the better the chances your first choice will be available.
You bet! Our Culture Experts are here and waiting to help! Whether you need recommendations or you have a special headcount, budget, or dietary needs that require a certain type of caterer or cuisine, we’ll be happy to assist you with finding just the provider to make your corporate event a smashing hit.
Every provider on the Thriver marketplace arranges for catering delivery using in-house delivery personnel or a third-party delivery service. You can make special delivery arrangements with your provider when you book their catering services, or send a message to inquire about their delivery process.
Many of our corporate catering providers offer food set-up and tear-down for your event. Reach out to caterers directly from their product page to ask about their range of services. If you need extra help the caterer can’t provide, our marketplace offers additional food service assistants, from bartenders and bussers to servers and sommeliers.
The Thriver marketplace offers more than 2,200 virtual and in-office services from over 615 local vendors. We help you engage your employees through professional development, team-building activities, catering services, and much more.
