You can even send out quick reminders to anyone who's lagging behind on ordering. And it only takes a click of your mouse, so you can easily stay on top of your order.

Eliminate miscommunicated orders, satisfy everyone's preferences, and savor the taste of a stress-free meal. See how easy & accurate group ordering can be!

Your "Order Instructions" Box

To assist with your online food ordering, we have included an ‘Order Instructions’ box that appears underneath your checkout cart while placing an order. Here you can make specific requests to our Food Partners about your meal

What to include in "Order Instructions":

• Requests for additional condiments, napkins, or utensils
• Dietary notes, such as keeping certain items seperate, or mentioning dietary restrictions

What not to include in ‘Order Instructions’:

• Do not write desired items in the instructions. They will not be added to your order unless you select the item itself, and click ‘Add Item.’ Only then will they appear in your cart
• Special drop-off instructions, e.g. “Meet out front, next to the fountain." These may be included in the delivery instructions section at checkout
• Delivery address

We also provide a ‘Special Instructions’ box in each menu item, so that you can make special requests for individual items, such as “no tomato,” or “serve condiments on the side.”

Our Food Partners have provided us with up-to-date menus that include every item available through Foodify. We cannot accommodate special requests for items not on the menu. Special instructions are subject to Food Partner’s ability to take requests.

Think Inside the Box(ed Lunch)

Boxed lunches are great for groups of 10 or more, and offer a simple solution to making sure you’re getting just the perfect amount of food. Most are highly customizable to fit each guest’s specific needs, whether they be dietary or taste, and Food Partners that offer boxed lunches will often have several tiers to choose from for added variety. Boxed lunches are ideal for lunch meetings on the go and offer a convenient way to dine outdoors by removing the need for plates and cutting out the wait in a serving line. If your meeting is moved at the last minute, if the weather turns sour on a business picnic, moving a group with boxed lunches is quick and easy. Even taking to the road is less of an ordeal. For your most hassle-free lunch meeting yet, boxed lunches are the quintessential lunch option.
