Weekly Office Lunch Delivery in San Diego

Feeding the same team every week shouldn’t mean re-planning lunch every Monday. A standing order from Shawarma House puts office lunch on the calendar and takes it off your plate: pick a cadence — weekly, biweekly, or monthly — choose boxed lunches or a shared shawarma spread, and lock your per-person price for 90 days. We’re a family-owned Iraqi-Mediterranean restaurant in Ocean Beach with 4.7 stars across 705 Google reviews, and we deliver across San Diego County.

This page is about the recurring program — standing orders, the price lock, Net-30, and how to keep a repeat lunch from getting stale. If you’re planning a one-time office lunch or a single event, start with our office lunch catering page instead.

Ready to put lunch on autopilot? Request a quote with your cadence and headcount in the notes, or call (619) 352-0144 — the catering line is staffed Monday–Friday, 7am–4pm, and a human picks up.

How does a standing lunch order actually work?

A standing order is a repeat delivery slot on our kitchen calendar, set up once over a phone call or quote-form note and then run on autopilot. You choose the cadence — weekly, biweekly, or monthly — tell us the day and the headcount, and pick boxed lunches or a shared spread for that delivery. Each cadence gets the same 90-day per-person price lock, so office lunch stops being a weekly decision and becomes a standing appointment your team can count on.

Because pricing is per person, your headcount can flex from delivery to delivery. Ten people out at a conference next week? Tell us your number ahead of the drop-off and the order adjusts. Boxed-lunch deliveries have quantities confirmed in your quote; shared spreads are sized by the package you choose. If your team’s rhythm changes — you add a second office, or move from weekly to biweekly — just call and we’ll adjust the standing order from there.

Boxed or buffet — pick per delivery

Every delivery can go one of two ways, and you can alternate between them:

Individually boxed lunches are available by quote. Box contents, pricing, quantities, and preparation time are confirmed in your written quote.

Shared spreads are the family-style option: beef and chicken shawarma, yellow basmati rice, salad, fresh hummus, hand-formed falafel, pita, and four house sauces. Place settings are optional; include them in your quote request, and single-use serviceware is sent only when requested. They’re the better fit when the team actually sits down together, and the 20- to 100-person Catering spreads work out to roughly $19.95–$20.00 per person.

Plenty of teams switch between the two — boxed on a heads-down week, a spread when the whole crew is in the office. Just tell us which format you want for a given delivery.

Choose a package by headcount

Use the current package sizes and prices on our catering hub, then tell us whether this week’s team is better served by boxes or a shared spread. Every spread includes beef and chicken shawarma, yellow basmati rice, salad, fresh hummus, hand-formed falafel, pita, and four house sauces; Toast offers place settings as an optional add-on. For larger gatherings, staffed service is available — we’ll quote it with your order.

Building a corporate lunch program, not just a single order

A corporate lunch program is really just a standing order applied across a whole team, a whole floor, or a rotation of offices — the mechanics don’t change, only the scale. If you’re standardizing lunch for one office, this page’s standing-order setup is the whole program: cadence, headcount, format, price lock. If you’re coordinating a recurring order across several teams or a multi-site rotation, the same 90-day price lock and Net-30 terms apply per delivery — call and we’ll walk through how the cadence and billing work for your setup. Reps managing lunch across multiple stops on a territory should see our medical rep catering page, which covers standing orders built around a rep’s schedule.

Keeping week six from tasting like week one

The quiet killer of any recurring lunch is boredom, and the fix is variety you don’t have to invent. Our catering menu is broad enough to change things up without changing caterers: alternate boxed and buffet formats, and add à-la-carte trays — Greek, Fattoush, Tabouli, or Iraqi salads, extra hummus, tzatziki, or yellow rice — from our catering trays when you want a delivery to feel different. New to the food itself? Our what-is-shawarma guide is a good primer to circulate before the first delivery.

Mixed-diet teams, one order

A recurring order only works if it feeds everyone, every time. All of our beef and chicken has been halal-sourced since the day we opened — halal meat served, on every delivery. The vegan lineup is real food, not an afterthought: falafel, vegan shawarma, vegan cream chop, hummus, tabouli, and fattoush salad, with vegan house sauces (toum, tahini, and hot sauce). Gluten-free-friendly teammates can build over saffron rice without pita.

Two things to flag when you set up the order: tahini contains sesame, and our hummus contains tahini. And we’re a shared kitchen — cross-contact is always possible, so we can’t guarantee any item for severe allergies. Tell us about allergies up front and we’ll walk through the order together.

Delivery bands and where we cover

We deliver countywide from Ocean Beach on a distance-based schedule: free within 5 miles, $30 for 5–15 miles, $50 for 16–40 miles, and $60 beyond that — most of the county is a standard delivery fee away, not a special trip. Three corridors we hear from often on standing orders:

• Sorrento Valley & Torrey Pines: see our Sorrento Valley & Torrey Pines catering page for delivery details specific to that area.
• UTC & Carmel Valley: details on our UTC & Carmel Valley catering page.
• Downtown offices: see our downtown San Diego catering page for delivery specifics.

Wherever your office sits in the county, the standing-order mechanics on this page — cadence, price lock, Net-30 — work the same way; the only thing that changes by area is which delivery-fee band you land in.
