As life approaches normalcy and businesses start to reopen in New York City, meals are a great way to celebrate. Office catering is a popular solution for welcoming employees back during these weird times, but safety and hygiene are of utmost importance.
Individually boxed meals have become a new normal during the pandemic. Especially if you haven't catered since COVID started, you're probably wondering how to most easily order individually wrapped meals. Here at CaterCow, we do the hard work of vetting the best individually packaged meals in New York City. For every restaurant, we take photos of the food and how it comes delivered and taste test the meals. If a restaurant was catering buffet style in the past, we work with them to curate an individually boxed alternative so you don't have to worry if it'll come the way you want.




We thoughtfully curate every option you see. We believe that food can inspire, spark conversation and bring people together. Our goal is to offer the best food for your group in a convenient-to-use, easy-to-order format.
We're an online catering marketplace featuring vetted menus designed to work for groups large and small.
No more uninspired sandwich boxes. Pick from unique, seasonal options curated by our team.
We've streamlined the process for ordering food for your group, just the click of a button and your job is done.
Curating individually packaged meals is not as easy as one may think. If a restaurant was catering a buffet with a choice of 3 entrees and 3 sides, they'll now need to tailor a special menu for individual style that will likely accommodate less selections per meal.
Furthermore, restaurants will need to be more mindful of mixing hot and cold in one container. They'll also need to package meals in a way that isn't overly wasteful for the environment's sake and to minimize costs. At CaterCow, we work with our restaurants to craft menus that work for everyone.

Individually boxed meals are a unique category of its own. Unlike other services, we don't lump the individually wrapped meals in the same menu as the buffet just because it's from the same restaurant. We've all seen menus where it says a $50 tray of chicken is “Individually Wrapped Optional”...whatever that means!
We also take photos of every single individually boxed menu in its actual packaging, not on fine china, so you know what you'll get during your delivery.

If Sally wants chicken, and John wants beef, teammates can choose what they want. Meals come delivered individually packaged labeled with people's names.
You can also add extras for guests. This saves the hassle of guessing the headcount and what people want to eat!

You're likely ordering individually packaged for safety concerns to minimize sharing and contamination. Rest assured our kitchens are doing their part in keeping things as safe as possible.
Temperature checks, elevated cleaning, and mandating employee vaccination are just some of the many heightened procedures to make sure everyone stays healthy.

Whether you like to do everything yourself, get your team involved or would rather we took care of things for you, CaterCow has you covered.

If you order catering frequently and would prefer for us to handle menu selection, we can set you up with a dedicated account manager.
Let your group choose what they want to eat with our simple and straightforward group ordering polls.

Our group was raving about the green goddess salad dressing. Everyone loved the choices of sandwiches. Serving halves and salad is great for a group lunch. I was able to call in the hours leading up to delivery to confirm that everything was set to arrive on time. It was reassuring to be able to get in touch with a human. It was raining the morning of delivery and everything arrived completely dry. Thank you!!!

Kizzy was just perfect. I am a type-A, fairly avid cook, who is not used to having someone "take care of everything" but that is exactly what Kizzy did and I couldn't have done it better myself. She knew exactly how much food would be needed, exactly how to create a perfectly balanced menu, and how to take all of the effort and worry out of the food portion of entertaining. She was able to create a largely gluten-free menu which nobody ever would have noticed because the food was just so good. She showed up, got everything ready with labels, heating trays, and everything, and in 20 minutes her magic was set for the night. I look forward to having another event that needs to be catered just so I can have the pleasure of working with Kizzy and eating her absolutely divine food again! The highlights were the piña colada shrimp (GF) that was gone in the first hour, perplexingly amazing greek chicken satay (so moist and flavorful for something so simple; also GF), polenta rounds with mushroom sausage ragout (GF), and collard green & red cabbage imperial rolls (vegan/GF). Kizzy has a gift in knowing her audience, keeping her client involved enough to feel in the loop, but otherwise just quietly and seemingly effortlessly putting together an ideal culinary spread for even the toughest of critics. If it is not already apparent, I was just blown away (and so were my guests).
