Send Your Love Through Catered Meals

By Catering Staff | September 5, 2017

Who says that catering services are only for small and large parties? In fact, you can tap the catering services of your favorite restaurant chains like Arby’s in sending your love to your family and friends. You don’t even have to spend a large amount of money or spend an hour on cooking the food – just pick up the phone, call the restaurant for your orders, and tell the delivery personnel the address and you’re done!

Of course, there’s also the option of sending flowers and cards as a thoughtful gesture. But there’s something both thoughtful and practical in sending delicious meals to your family and friends who will appreciate the gesture.  Think of it as sending your love in a filling and satisfying way via delicious food and drinks.  

Ready-to-eat Food for New Parents

Newborn babies are sources of both happiness and stress, particularly from the odd sleeping schedules, late night feedings, and endless chores related to taking good care of them. No wonder parents have little time to prepare filling meals and snacks preferring instead to eat whatever is on the fridge or pantry.

When you send new parents catered meals, especially from their favorite restaurants, you are giving them thoughtful gifts that they can actually enjoy. Be sure to choose foods that they will eat without the need for further preparation except for nuking in the microwave. You should also choose healthy meals since new parents need the nutrients to keep up with the stress of their new roles.  

Ready-to-eat Food for People Recovering from an Illness or Injury

Among the challenges that people recovering from an illness or injury is meal preparation, no thanks to their weakened condition. Your gift of catered meals for a few days will be heaven-sent because then they don’t have to prepare their meals from scratch.

Just as with new parents, you should make careful choices in foods that will speed up their recovery. You should ideally ask about their dietary restrictions, as well as choose food with little to no at-home preparations involved.  

Ready-to-eat Food for People in Grief

Many people who send food to people who are grieving after the loss of their loved ones choose desserts, such as cakes, cookies and cupcakes. While these sweet treats are also appreciated, the recipient will not live on cakes alone.

Your gift of savory meals will then likely be more appreciated, especially when there are kids in the house. Your friend in grief will then not have to spend time on preparing meals that can be spent on other matters.  

You don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars on sending catered meals to your family and friends in need, in a manner of speaking. You just have to choose healthy yet affordable meals, such as sandwiches and salads.
