Work backward from the lunch break
For an office meal, the clock matters as much as the menu. Write down when people can start eating, how long the break lasts, and whether everyone will arrive together. That information helps you ask the restaurant about a realistic pickup or delivery arrangement. Do not assume a particular service window is available until the team confirms it.
Next, count diners and ask whether the group would rather share larger platters or have individual meals. Shared food can encourage conversation; individual choices can make preferences easier to manage.
Build variety without complicating the order
Old Damascus lists family platters, grilled plates, sandwiches, rice dishes, mezze, and salads. A balanced group order could start with a grill or rice centerpiece and add sides for variety. Ask about the current menu if you need meat-free choices, and speak directly with the restaurant for any allergy or ingredient questions.
It also helps to know whether the office has serving utensils, plates, and a place for sauces and drinks. Discuss packaging and any extras when you request a quote.
A short call prevents last-minute surprises
Have your date, estimated guest count, preferred meal time, location, and budget range ready before calling. Ask the team to confirm menu options, lead time, service availability, and the final total. Reach Old Damascus catering at +1 (214) 242-9870.
A useful final checklist is easy to keep in one message: event date, serving time, number of guests, delivery or pickup address, a few menu interests, and any dietary questions. Share one point of contact who can answer the restaurant quickly if a detail needs confirmation. Then ask for a clear summary of the agreed food and logistics before the day arrives.
