Set the Scene for Business Deals with the Right Luncheon

Anyone who has ever sat through long hours of marketing presentations or intense contract negotiations knows how physically and emotionally draining they can be. So when the time for a lunch break finally arrives, it’s understandable if meeting participants are less than thrilled when they’re presented with a “do-it-yourself” lunch. It may kill their appetites and sour their moods when they have to make their own sandwiches from ingredients that include ordinary deli meats, rolls and containers of potato salad, macaroni salad, coleslaw and chips. While those foods may be enjoyable at a barbecue, they’re certainly not what you want to serve your important clients or representatives of companies with which you hope to do business. You can make a much better impression by calling on the talents of the experts in catering in northern Virginia—Cafesano. We can prepare delicious foods that are perfect for any business luncheon, from a casual pizza party to an impressive feast of Italian and Greek specialties. People are drawn to foods that have wonderful aromas and that are attractively presented. Good food nourishes the body and helps eliminate tension, revitalizing the spirits. There’s a reason why sales people wine and dine potential customers—it helps them close deals. As one of the premier companies for catering in northern Virginia, Cafesano has a variety of options that will meet every business luncheon need. • For casual lunches, try serving warm Panini sandwiches or flavorful wraps made from the finest and freshest ingredients. You can choose a variety to appeal to every taste, from chicken pesto, steak and cheddar and turkey BLTs Paninis to Tuscan tuna, falafel, or avocado and tomato wraps. • Everyone loves pizza, so if you want to set a relaxed tone for your business lunch why not order up several of Cafesano’s thin-crust, baked-to-order pizzas? Red sauce lovers can’t resist the arrabbiata ( spicy sausage) pie, or the Margherita, featuring cheese, tomato and fresh basil. (And those are only two of our red sauce offerings.) If you want something for those who prefer their pizza without the tomato sauce, we have six different white pizza varieties, including the Bianca insalata—with fresh mozzarella, carmelized onions and argula, tomatoes, red onions, Kalamata olives and fresh Asiago cheese—and the Del Mar, loaded with seasoned shrimp, roasted peppers, garlic sauce and basil pesto that complements the fresh mozzarella and parmesan cheese. • You can demonstrate to your business guests that you think a little outside the box by filling their luncheon plates with their choice of perfectly seasoned and perfectly grilled kabobs—chicken, steak, shrimp, kafta or vegetable. Served with rice, grilled vegetables, salad and pita bread, they’re a true taste delight. • Looking for a more formal luncheon that’s appropriate for the executive dining room? Start off with our cocktail-sized appetizers. (Spinach pie is always a favorite and disappears quickly.) Then follow up those tasty bites with your choice of six of our restaurant’s most in-demand pasta dishes: lasagna Emiliana, vegetable lasagna, pasta marinara, fettuccini Alfredo, penne arrabbiata and penne with basil pesto. And don’t forget the sides! You can complete any of these meals with the freshest salads--signature, green, house or Caesar, a choice of refreshing beverages, and the ever-popular dessert tray. Put your guests in a sweet mood for afternoon meetings with an assortment of baklava, brownies and cookies. Since thoughtful business hosts want to make sure they can suit any guest’s dietary preferences, we also offer vegetarian and gluten-free menu options. An outstanding meal from a great caterer in northern Virginia may not seal your business deal—but it can certainly put your guests in the mood to conduct business. Give Cafesano a call for your next catered luncheon to get that extra edge.
