Greek catering menu checklist

What belongs in a complete Greek catering meal?

Start with the main: gyro, souvlaki or a suitable plant-forward choice. Then check the selected menu for a warm side, salad, pita and sauces. Dessert and drinks may be included or separate. A mezze starter and a meat-only platter do not automatically provide the same meal as a complete box or package.

Choose one main serving format

Boxes work when meals need to be counted and handed out. Shared packages work when the group has a serving table and a common break. Ready-made wrap platters reduce assembly, while a Gyro Bar lets guests build a pita or plate. Decide based on the room, schedule and the meal's purpose—not just the dish name.

Use a menu checklist before adding extras

Read the actual package inclusions before ordering extra salad, pita or dessert. Add variety only where it fills a gap in the meal. The most useful checklist records what is included and what still needs to be ordered.

• Count guests and separately identify dietary meals
• Select the main format and verify its minimum
• Check salad, warm sides, pita and sauces
• Count included desserts before adding more
• Specify beverages and any extra appetizers
• Confirm labels, serving supplies and setup
• Choose pickup or delivery and confirm the time

Make the final menu easy to hand over

Keep one version with quantities, substitutions, delivery or pickup details and a named receiver. If several people are organizing the event, choose one person to approve changes. Submitting the quote form starts the conversation; the final menu and terms must be agreed before the order is booked.
