Planning the Perfect Corporate Offsite: Delicious, Fun, and Totally Unforgettable Eats
Let’s be real: corporate offsites sound fun, but the planning? Not always. As an admin or event planner, you’re juggling everything from agendas to name tags—and let’s not forget the food! You want something that’s not only tasty but will also wow the crew and accommodate any dietary restrictions. But don’t stress—we’ve got you covered!
Here’s the inside scoop for making lunch and dinner the highlights of your offsite:
Lunch: A Latin Twist That’ll Have Everyone Saying “¡Sí, por favor!”
Start the day with something that’s both fun and flavorful: Buenas empanadas! These delicious bundles of joy come with meat and vegetarian options, so no one gets left out. Plus, they’re easy to eat while mingling or brainstorming—because who doesn’t love food that’s portable and oh-so-delicious? Serve them with a side of authentic potato salad and crowd-pleasing pasta salad for the perfect balance. And we couldn’t forget the chimichurri sauce—that’s the secret ingredient that’ll make your guests go “Mmm, yes please!” (Trust us, a drizzle of that sauce goes a long way.)
Dinner: Comfort Food That’ll Make Everyone Say “Yum!”
Now, let’s talk dinner. Say hello to the ultimate chicken karaage and tofu buffet from Nagomi Bento. Picture crispy, golden fried chicken that’ll have you coming back for more—and tofu so flavorful even the biggest meat lover will be impressed. Plus, you can’t go wrong with sides of fluffy rice, savory eggplant, and crunchy green beans. It’s a dinner spread that has all the comforting vibes you need to wrap up a successful day of offsite fun. (Bonus points: it’s great for both the meat lovers and the plant-based peeps!)
With these chef’s kiss meal choices, your offsite will be the talk of the office long after everyone heads home. You’ll have the perfect balance of new, exciting flavors and familiar favorites—plus, no one will be left hungry or hangry.
