Boxes or a platter?
Boxes when people eat at their own seats, at different times or in different rooms: everyone gets their own sandwich, chips, drink and cookie, and nobody has to stand at a buffet.
A Sandwich Platter when people share a table: 9 sandwiches sliced in half, $119.25+ , about $13.25 a person. Breakfast meeting? See office catering, or let the catering estimator size it for your headcount.

Boxed lunch FAQ
How much is a Gotham boxed lunch?
$19.25–$22.84 a box, before tax and delivery, depending on the sandwich: $19.25 with a Bacon, Egg & Cheddar. Chips, the drink and the cookie are included. There's a 6-box minimum.
What's in each box?
One per guest: a Gotham sandwich, cut and wrapped; a bag of chips (Plain, Parmesan Ranch, Sea Salt, Black Pepper & Onion, BBQ, Salt & Vinegar or Buffalo Wing); a drink (a Dr. Brown's soda (Cherry, Diet Cherry, Cream, Diet Cream, Cel-Ray or Ginger Ale), Pepsi, Diet Pepsi or bottled water); and a brown butter chocolate chunk cookie. Boxed sandwiches come without the pickle.
Can everyone pick their own sandwich?
Yes. You choose the sandwich, chips and drink for each box, from 15 sandwiches, so a group of 6 can have 6 different lunches.
Is there a minimum?
There's no minimum order for catering. The only item minimum is on the Boxed Lunch: 6 boxes.
Where can I get boxed lunches?
From all four Chicago shops (Gold Coast, Lakeview, South Loop and Magnificent Mile) and Lake Geneva, for pickup or delivery. Delivery reaches about 4 miles from each shop. Madison's catering menu doesn't have boxed lunches; its wrapped Sandwich Platter is the closest thing.
How do I order boxed lunches?

Boxed lunches or a sandwich platter?
Boxes when people eat at their own seats, at different times or in different rooms: everyone gets their own sandwich, chips, drink and cookie. A Sandwich Platter (9 sandwiches sliced in half, from $119.25, about $13.25 a person) when people share a table and go back for a second half.
What if I need to cancel?
We like to be flexible, because schedules change. Please cancel at least 2 hours before your order's pickup or delivery time. Need to change an order? Tell us as early as you can and we'll do our best.
Can my office pay on a house account?
Yes, in Chicago and Lake Geneva: offices and organizations that order regularly can open a house account on request, and our catering team sets it up. Ask about a house account.
Can you handle allergies and dietary needs?
Tell us what you need and we'll do our best. Everything is made in kitchens that also handle milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, sesame and soy. We can’t guarantee any item is allergen-free; ask us about specific needs.
