Individual Entrees Catering

There are moments when food needs to be personal. A plate made just for one, prepared with the same care as if it were served in your own home. That’s where our approach to individual entrees catering begins. Whether you’re hosting a corporate event, providing lunch for your team, or coordinating a gathering that requires individual portions, we create meals that feel whole—balanced, seasonal, and made with purpose.

At NY Susan Kitchen, we don’t treat individual servings as a limitation. We treat them as an opportunity. Each dish is thoughtfully composed, built from scratch, and shaped around what’s fresh and in season. The result isn’t a boxed meal—it’s a full experience. A quiet moment of nourishment that fits seamlessly into the rhythm of a working day, a team meeting, or a client presentation.

Unlike standard trays or buffet lines, individual entrees give us space to consider detail. The grain in a salad. The finish on a dressing. The way roasted vegetables settle next to soft herbs. These aren’t factory-assembled meals. They’re cooked by hand, with care and attention, and meant to be eaten as they are—simple, satisfying, and complete.

If you’re looking for a wider office solution, our corporate lunch menu is where many clients start. But for teams who value a personalized experience, or situations where individual service is preferred, this catering format makes room for flexibility without sacrificing flavor.

Gluten Free and Vegan options are available upon request.

Designed for Flexibility, Not Compromise

We understand that every office, event, and guest list is different. That’s why our menus are adaptable. Whether you’re accommodating dietary preferences or creating a lunch experience with minimal contact and easy distribution, we adjust without losing what matters most: good food, made thoughtfully, and delivered in a way that feels effortless.

Many of our seasonal entrees can be customized to offer vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free variations. But we don’t believe in making substitutions that feel like afterthoughts. Each version of a dish is developed with its own integrity, using ingredients that shine in their own right. That’s the difference between meeting a need and exceeding it.

From hearty grain bowls to composed hot meals, our individual entrees carry the same aesthetic and flavor profile that defines everything we serve. Meals are labeled clearly, portioned generously, and packaged to preserve balance and presentation. For larger orders, we can coordinate with your team to stagger delivery, maintain freshness, and accommodate the pace of your space.

For clients seeking simplicity with structure, our lunch box catering options offer a streamlined way to serve individuals while keeping the experience elevated. These aren’t deli wraps in clamshells—they’re composed, seasonal plates with substance and care.

A More Personal Way to Cater

There’s a different kind of hospitality that comes with serving one person at a time. The individual entree becomes a message: we made this for you. It’s not just about dietary restrictions or logistics—it’s about respect. In an environment where catered food is often rushed or forgettable, taking the time to serve something intentional makes a quiet statement.

We see this model work beautifully across a range of scenarios. In executive meetings, where presentation matters. In smaller teams who share space but prefer individual meals. In events where guests may have varying needs, but you still want the food to feel cohesive. For hybrid offices, rotating shifts, or client lunches on the go—individual entrees meet the moment with grace.

And while sandwiches are always an option, we go beyond the basics. If you’re looking for something more memorable, our gourmet sandwich and hero options offer elevated flavors that move easily from casual to refined, depending on your needs.

Individual doesn’t mean impersonal. In our kitchen, it means the opposite. Every plate is prepared with the same care and attention we bring to the table at home.

Rooted in Seasonality, Designed for Comfort

Every menu we build starts with a single question: what’s in season? From there, the ideas take shape. A warm grain salad for fall, layered with roasted squash and arugula. A chilled farro bowl in summer with cucumbers, pickled onions, and mint. A lentil braise with winter roots, finished with lemon and olive oil. These aren’t trends—they’re rhythms. And when you’re preparing individual entrees, those rhythms guide everything.

One of the benefits of serving single portions is clarity. The food doesn’t compete with itself. There’s no buffet clutter or oversaturated choices. What you eat is what was meant to be eaten. That clarity makes each dish more satisfying. The flavors are sharper. The meal feels whole.

We use this format to honor the season without overwhelming the guest. Each entree is a composed experience, designed to be enjoyed fully on its own. For events where first impressions matter, or occasions that require quiet excellence, this approach offers both precision and ease.

For themed gatherings or curated dining moments, you can explore our themed dinner experiences, which also include individual service options for plated, in-office, or studio environments.

Build a Menu That Moves Like Your Team

Flexibility isn’t a bonus—it’s built in. Some teams need meals served at different times throughout the day. Others require drop-offs with minimal disruption. We work with your schedule, your space, and your pace. And because our entrees are crafted to hold their integrity over time, we can stagger delivery or create menus that serve back-to-back meetings without compromising flavor.

Many of our clients rotate individual entrees with broader catering options. A Monday might begin with our soup service for smaller teams, while a Friday might feature larger format trays or shared salads. We support that balance, offering both consistency and variety across your week.

Not sure where to begin? Themed options like our curated lunch menus or buffet offerings can also be adapted into individually plated formats when needed. The same flavors, the same structure—just composed plate by plate.

Every Plate Tells a Story

In a shared lunch setting, it’s easy to lose the thread. But with individual entrees, the story is clearer. What you serve is what you mean to say. That might be professionalism. Or hospitality. Or care. Whatever the message, we make sure the food delivers it well.

That might mean a clean, comforting plate for a long training day. Or a richly flavored meal designed to close a project on a high note. Or a seasonal favorite served with restraint, because the ingredients are doing the talking. These are quiet gestures—but the kind people remember.

If you’re planning a team gathering, client meeting, or internal milestone, we’ll help you build a menu that speaks in your tone. Something that moves easily between elegance and ease. And if you’re working with recurring service, we’ll help you create rotation options that feel fresh without becoming a project.

Popular formats like our lunch sandwich sets or seasonal pasta entrees can be adapted into single-serve form, with portioning and packaging that honors both taste and appearance.

From First Bite to Follow-Through

We believe service doesn’t end at the plate. From intake to delivery, every step of our process is designed to respect your time, your team, and your guests. Clear communication. On-time arrival. Packaging that holds both heat and dignity. And follow-through to ensure everything met your expectations.

We support planners who need fast answers and culinary leads who care about sourcing. We support hybrid teams and rotating office models. We support the idea that even in a single portion, food can say something meaningful. And when needed, we also offer options like our custom salad bar or fajita bar that can be repackaged individually for full control and choice.

For tastings, trials, or a deeper look at our current seasonal offerings, our menu tasting service allows you to experience our entrees firsthand—before placing your first full order.

At NY Susan Kitchen, individual doesn’t mean small. It means specific. It means considered. And it means the meal in front of you was made to be just that—yours.
