There are a few tips which you should keep in mind when approaching your catering needs. By understanding these tips you will be able to put together an event everyone will remember for a long time to come. Take your time and take good notes and you will be able to accomplish all of the goals you had for your event and still be able to enjoy it for yourself.

1. Know Your Guests – Any time you are catering an event, it is a good idea to keep in mind the palates of those who will be attending. If you know you will have people in attendance with special dietary needs, it is important to make sure that those needs will be met.  Tell your caterer up front what dietary needs your group has, so they can be sure to have everything in order.
2. Choose a Date – So much of what you are doing will ride on the date that you choose. Choose a date which will make it possible for all who need to attend to be there. Often a good day to use for a catering even is on a Tuesday or a Wednesday. Less people are obligated out to other things in the middle of the week. Check schedules if necessary.
3. Get a Guest Count – While it is not possible at times to get an exact guest count, it is important to get at least a minimum and maximum count of people. This will help to determine how much food you will order. It will also help you to decide exactly where you will have all of the food presented at.
4. Choose the Caterer – Obviously, we here at J & J’s Deli and Catering are a little biased on this point.  But, we know we aren’t the right match for every event.  If you have to look beyond this site, look for an established caterer with good reviews so that you will have a better chance of getting good food. Also look for a caterer who prepares all food from scratch using only the finest ingredients. You should not have to pay a lot extra just to get good food. The right caterer will also be able to help you save money.
5. Enjoy the Event – Now it is time to enjoy all of your hard work. If all has gone according to plan, you will know exactly what you are doing and all you will need to do is follow through. Go ahead and have some great food and interact with your guests. They are sure to enjoy what you have put together as well.

The more times you go through the process, the better at planning catering you will become.  Plus, when you link up with a great caterer you’ll be able to call them directly for future catering needs and skip all that hunting and explaining.

Meet the Boxed Lunch. Where great value (they’re guaranteed to be less than $10 a person!) meets great quality (premium meats, cheeses, and breads) meets great convenience (EVERYTHING is self contained ) Oh, and let’s not forget that pleasing all the picky eaters has never been easier, with over 20 different sandwiches to choose from, 6 different breads, and even a host of vegetarian options to top it all off, there really is something here for everybody.

$9.49 gets you the Premium Boxed Lunch, which contains a half hero or square sandwich, a side deli salad, cookie, and fresh fruit as well.

$8.29 gets you the Economy Boxed Lunch, containing a half hero or squared sandwich, cookie, and small bag of chips.

Either option is sure to be a crowd pleaser, and with so many choices to choose from you’re guaranteed to have a successful catering experience regardless of the crowd you’re working with. Not only is there something for everyone, but because the boxed lunch retains its convenience so well you’re never stuck with messy leftovers and piles of food being put to waste. Of course, the food isn’t the only thing being self-contained; the bill is too. You know exactly what you’re getting and exactly what you’re paying for, so ordering isn’t only easy and cost effective, but it’s hassle free too. No more guessing about how many pounds of this and how many slices of that, instead you know exactly what you’re getting and exactly what you’re paying for. With catering convenience like that right at your doorstep, what’s not to love?

Hey folks, we’re closed for a long July 4th weekend this year so we can do some remodeling in the store and get rid of some of our older woodwork.

We plan to reopen Thursday, July 8.  That may change depending on when our new materials come in and we can get the job done.  We’ll post here when we’re back in business with some pictures.

Don’t forget to sign up for our newsletter on our homepage while you’re here.
