Thai Office & Corporate Catering Serving Central Square, MA

Feed Your Central Square Team Something Better Than a Sad Desk Lunch

Central Square is one of the busiest working corridors in the Merrimack Valley region — a dense mix of tech offices, nonprofits, healthcare workers, and creative agencies where back-to-back meetings are the norm and the person booking lunch is usually also running the 1 p.m. call. KaO Thai & Asian Flavors, located at 125 Essex Street in Lawrence, MA, builds catering orders specifically for workplaces like yours: flexible, packaged to hold, and priced so you can actually plan a budget.

How Corporate Catering from KaO Works

Catering from KaO starts at 10 guests and requires at least 48 hours' notice — that window matters for a workplace order because it gives us time to scale proteins, prep sauces in bulk, and package everything so it travels from Lawrence to your Central Square office without turning into a steam-soaked mess.

For recurring weekly or bi-weekly team lunches, that 48-hour window becomes easy to work into your calendar. Set a standing order reminder on Monday for a Wednesday pickup or arrangement, and you have one less decision to make mid-week.

Call us at 978-923-0065 to discuss a recurring schedule — we can talk through portion counts, mix-and-match platters, and any rotating menu options that keep things interesting for a team eating together regularly.

What to Order for a Group

KaO platters and family-style dishes are the practical choice for office settings — one container, multiple servings, no individual packaging chaos on a conference table. Strong corporate-lunch performers include:

• Pad Thai — the crowd-pleaser that converts skeptics
• Kao Fried Rice and Thai Fried Rice — filling, hold temperature well
• General KaO Chicken — sweet-savory, always the first to go
• Grilled Chicken Teriyaki — a reliable option for anyone avoiding spice
• Drunken Noodle 🌶️🌶️ and Spicy Basil Fried Rice 🌶️🌶️ — clearly labeled heat levels for the spice lovers on your team
• Lo Mein — easy, familiar, pairs well with everything
• Crab Rangoon and Gyoza — starters that work as meeting snacks
• Thai Iced Tea — the one drink order that makes a catering spread feel intentional

Handling Mixed Dietary Needs in One Order

A 15-person office order rarely has 15 people who eat the same way. Central Square workplaces tend to be diverse in both background and dietary preference. KaO's menu naturally spans heat levels, protein choices (chicken-forward options alongside vegetable-based dishes), and textures — so you can build one order that covers the pescatarian, the coworker who needs mild-only, and the person who always asks for extra spice, without placing three separate orders.

When you call to plan your order, let us know the breakdown — how many need lower-heat dishes, whether you need anything set aside separately — and we'll structure the platter selection around it.

Per-Head Budgeting

Corporate catering works best when the person signing off on it knows the number before it hits accounting. Because KaO platters are priced by dish and sized for multiple guests, you can estimate cost per head once you know your headcount and dish selection. The 48-hour lead time is also your friend here: it avoids last-minute rush situations that inflate costs or create errors.
