How much notice do you need for office catering?

Up to 15 people can usually order for ASAP delivery — most orders arrive within 30–60 minutes. For 20–50 people, same-day is normally fine with 2–4 hours’ notice, depending on the kitchen’s stock. For 50 people and above, a day’s notice is best so the kitchen and the delivery can be planned properly.

How is Ordit different from a traditional caterer?

Most catering platforms hand you a fixed set menu. On Ordit you order from any restaurant or caterer that delivers to your address, at their normal menu prices — platters and buffets, or individually boxed meals labelled by name if you prefer. One order, one delivery, one invoice.

What does office catering cost?

You pay the menu price plus a flat £15 + VAT delivery fee per catering order, and a 5% service fee applied to your monthly total rather than to each order. Example: 30 people at £12 a head is £360 of food plus £15 delivery; the 5% service fee is charged on the month’s total spend. No setup fees, no minimum spend and no lock-in.

Which areas of London do you cover?

Ordit delivers across 13 Central London postcode areas — E1, E14, EC1–EC4, W1, WC1–WC2, N1, NW1, SE1 and SW1 — covering the City, Canary Wharf, Shoreditch, Mayfair and the West End. Offices, hotels, meeting rooms and event spaces are all fine.

Can you handle dietary requirements and allergies?

Yes. Ingredient and allergen information is shown as provided by each vendor, and menus are filterable by vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, halal and kosher. On a platter order, tell Ordit the requirements when you order and dishes can be plated separately or supplied as individual boxed meals. For a severe allergy, confirm directly with the vendor before ordering.

What happens if something goes wrong on the day?

Every order is monitored, not just the large ones. Support is on live chat Mon–Fri 9:00–21:30 and weekends 11:00–21:00. If anything goes wrong on the day, tell Ordit and it gets sorted — replacement or refund within the hour, during support hours.

How is catering billed?

Contracted clients get everything on one monthly invoice with 30-day terms, broken down by team, department or cost centre. Not a client yet? Create an account, place a one-off catering order and pay by card — nothing to sign. Monthly invoicing needs an agreement, and you can move to it whenever it suits.
