the part people get wrong
december is a calendar problem, not a kitchen problem.
the reason good caterers stop answering the phone in december is not that they are busy cooking. it is that nearly every office party in the metro lands in the same two or three weeks, and those dates were spoken for in october.
1
by early november
book your december date. this is the real deadline, and it is earlier than almost anyone expects. the second week of december is the single most contested slot in the twin cities.
2
about two weeks out
the hard floor for 200 or more guests. large orders need roughly 14 days regardless of how far ahead you asked.
3
about one week out
the deadline for 50 to 200 guests, and the right moment to lock your final headcount. parties always drift by a few people; that is fine, we plan for it.
4
3 days out
the fastest anything moves, for a small tray. food is cooked to order rather than pulled from a distributor, so this is a floor and not a promise in december.
if your date is already inside one of those windows, ask anyway or text 612-524-9104. we would rather tell you honestly that a date is gone than have you find out in week three of your search.
two orders, not one
the party and the gifting are different jobs.
most offices treat december as a single line item and then scramble in week two. they are separate decisions with separate deadlines, and separating them early makes both easier.
the party
one date, one room, one headcount.
a fixed guest count on a fixed day. mix high-protein meal trays (chicken, beef, salmon, turkey and plant mains at 30 to 60g of protein per serving, sides built on vegetables and slow carbs) with wellness bakery trays so the dessert table does not undo the lunch.
the reason to flip the macros at a holiday party is simple and slightly unglamorous: the party is usually early afternoon, and the rest of the day still has to happen. a room fed on refined carbs at noon is a room nobody gets anything out of at three.
the gifting
many addresses, a long window
client and employee gift boxes from the wellness bakery, 18 to 38g of protein each. they read premium, they carry allergen tags, and they get eaten instead of re-gifted.
why separate
different deadlines
gift boxes want to land before people scatter for the holidays, which is often a week or two before the party itself. booking them together forces both onto the tighter date.
the honest bit
a tin of popcorn is a tin of popcorn
corporate gifting is a crowded, forgettable category. a box of scratch-made bakery with real numbers on it is at least a thing somebody remembers receiving.
on repeat
recurring accounts save
if the holiday order turns into a standing arrangement, scheduled drops carry partner discounts and rewards that stack the longer the account runs.

scratch-made in minneapolis and delivered labeled and table-ready in the window before your event. 10 guest minimum, up to 500. no contracts, no tasting fees. request a quote with your date and headcount and it comes back within 2 business days, or text 612-524-9104 if the date is tight.
before you ask
what we are not the right call for.
worth saying plainly, because in december it saves everyone a week.
the ask
the honest answer
what to do instead
a party this week
in december, probably gone. the floor is 3 days even for a small tray, and the calendar is the real constraint.
ask anyway, or text. we will tell you in an hour rather than a week.
cheapest tray per head
real ingredients and 30 to 60g of protein a serving cost more than a sandwich platter.
the metro has good volume caterers. we are not trying to be one.
an allergen-free kitchen
everything is labeled, and the kitchen is shared. we will not pretend otherwise about a severe allergy.
flag it in the quote and we will tell you exactly what we can and cannot promise.
full-service staffing
we deliver labeled and table-ready. we are not a plated, staffed, on-site service.
pair us with your venue's staff, which is how most office parties run anyway.
if your event fits inside those lines, request a quote. headcount, date, rough vibe. the wider guide to picking any healthy caterer in the metro is high-protein catering in minneapolis, and the everyday version of this is corporate lunch catering that is not pizza.
questions
holiday catering · faq.
when should we book holiday party catering in minneapolis?
book december dates by early november. nearly every office party in the metro lands in the same two or three weeks, so caterers fill those dates first. the stated lead times are 3 days for small orders, about 7 days for 50 to 200 guests and about 14 days for 200 or more, but in december the binding constraint is calendar space, not kitchen time.
who caters office holiday parties in the twin cities?
tandoco caters holiday parties across minneapolis and the twin cities: high-protein meal trays at 30 to 60g of protein per serving, wellness bakery trays at 18 to 38g each, and client and employee gift boxes, with an allergen tag and a macro line on every item. 10 to 500 guests, anywhere within 30 miles of downtown. quotes come back within 2 business days.
how much does holiday party catering cost?
quoted per event on headcount, menu mix, date and logistics, back within 2 business days. honest expectation: more per head than pizza or sandwich trays, competitive with any quality caterer in the metro. no contracts, no tasting fees.
can you handle dietary restrictions at a holiday party?
every item carries an allergen tag and a macro line so guests serve themselves without asking anyone. the menu includes plant-based options, for example the cloud nine roll, which is fully plant-based and made without any of the nine major allergens in the recipe, and the cinnalite roll, which is sugar-free at 140 calories. everything is baked in a shared kitchen, so severe allergies should be flagged in the quote. we are not an allergen-free kitchen.
do you do corporate holiday gift boxes?
yes. wellness bakery gift boxes for clients, employees and partners, 18 to 38g of protein each, allergen tagged. gift boxes and the party are separate orders and usually want different dates, since gifts need to land before people scatter.
what is the minimum order?
ten guests. no contracts, no tasting fees, no minimums beyond that. recurring accounts get partner discounts on scheduled drops.
