Booking food for a meeting is a small task that becomes a real headache when the options are limited to chain catering menus or a scramble of individual delivery orders. Annie’s Sandwiches runs a catering program built specifically around that problem — bulk sandwich trays and individually packed box lunches, ordered through a simple request process, for offices and business parks across Santa Clara.
Why Box Lunches Work Better for Office Settings
Annie’s catering program leans on individually packed box lunches as its core office-friendly format. Instead of a shared tray that requires someone to portion food out at the meeting, each person gets their own sealed lunch — a format the business itself describes as the “sanitary, professional choice for office catering.” For a meeting with a fixed start time, that removes an entire logistics step: no assembly, no serving, no cleanup beyond individual wrappers.
What’s on the Catering Menu
Catering orders draw from the same kitchen as the counter menu, which means the same two traditions — Vietnamese Banh Mi and American deli — are both available for a group order:
- Banh Mi trays or box lunches built from any of the ten Banh Mi options, including the fully-loaded Combo Sandwich ($10.95 individually) and vegetarian choices like the Tofu Sandwich ($9.25) and Avocado Sandwich ($9.25)
- American deli trays or box lunches using Annie’s Club Sandwich ($10.95), BBQ Tri Tip Sandwich ($10.95), Turkey Avocado Special ($9.95), or simpler options like the Grilled Cheese ($4.50) for a lower-cost mix
- Spring Rolls ($6.00 individually) as a shareable starter alongside either tray type
- Drinks — Vietnamese Coffee ($6.00), Thai or Green Milk Tea ($6.00 each), and canned sodas ($2.00 each) to round out a full box lunch
Because the menu spans both mild, familiar options (Grilled Cheese, Turkey Wrap) and more adventurous ones (Sardine in Tomato Sauce Sandwich, traditional Banh Mi), a mixed catering order can genuinely cover a group with varied tastes without anyone settling for a boring default.
How the Catering Process Works
Annie’s catering request process is a straightforward three-step model:
- Tell us about your event. Submit the event date, guest count (from 10 to 100), and any dietary needs — vegetarian or gluten-friendly requests included — through the online inquiry form.
- Get personalized recommendations. Annie’s suggests a mix of Banh Mi platters, deli trays, or individual box lunches tailored to the group size and budget.
- Pick up or have it delivered. Orders are prepared for priority pickup or delivery to the 95050 area, timed so the food is ready when the meeting is.
This works for more than office meetings — Annie’s catering form also covers family gatherings and birthday parties as event types — but the box-lunch format in particular is built with corporate timelines in mind, since business meetings tend to be far less flexible about start times than a birthday party.
Who This Is For
Santa Clara sits in the middle of a dense cluster of offices and business parks, and Annie’s catering program is explicitly positioned around serving that audience — teams that need lunch on a schedule, without the markup or unpredictability of a third-party delivery platform juggling multiple orders. Whether it’s a weekly team lunch, a client meeting, or an all-day training session, the box lunch format scales from a handful of people to a hundred without changing the basic process.
Getting a Quote
Requests can go through the online form at Annie’s catering page, or by calling the shop directly. Either way, the same three details speed things up: event date, guest count, and any dietary restrictions.
