The light lunch is the quickest form of business lunch: a light meal, often standing or as a buffet, that usually lasts 30-45 minutes. It is used at meetings, training days, conferences between sessions and office lunches.
The menu focuses on dishes that are easy to eat with one hand or with just a fork: composed salads, a pasta dish in a small bowl, seasonal vegetables, fruit, a small dessert. A few things matter: no heavy dishes, a station for special diets, enough service points to avoid queues. Whether there are staff or delivery only changes the price a lot.
What to ask
Give the length of the break, participants and the diets collected at registration. Ask how many stations, whether there are staff and whether the price includes VAT. Formats and rough ranges in the guide to the business lunch and in corporate catering prices.
