Panda Express Office Catering Tips and Logistics

Scheduling and Delivery

Panda Express requires 24-hour notice for all catering orders.

Panda partners with third-party delivery services like DoorDash and UberEats rather than providing their own delivery fleet.

Minimum order requirements for Panda Express typically range from $100-$150 depending on location, with delivery fees starting around $30.

Food Packaging and Setup

Catering orders arrive in black plastic containers with clear tops and include serving spoons for each item.

The standard catering setup includes plates, forks, napkins, sauces, serving utensils, and cups if beverages are ordered.

Food is not individually labeled with employee names - it comes in large party trays for self-service which definitely is a drawback for orders of 15+ people.

Insurance and Building Access

For corporate deliveries requiring building access, contact your local Panda Express location directly to confirm certificate of insurance availability for your specific building requirements.

Allergy Information

Panda Express prepares its food in shared kitchens where cross-contamination may occur. Those with severe allergies should communicate directly with staff about preparation precautions. For more detailed allergen menu check this website listing allergens including:

• Wheat
• Soy
• Tree Nuts
• Fish
• Peanuts
• Shellfish
• Eggs
• Milk
• Sesame

Late or Incorrect Orders

Late and incorrect orders are unfortunately very common with services like DoorDash. Each week CaterCow gets multiple calls from customers fed up and looking for DoorDash alternatives.  We've heard horror stories of large catering orders made without napkins or utensils, so also consider ordering backup utensils from a dollar store. For all DoorDash issues, keep your order confirmation number and receipt for quick resolution.

If your catering order is late or incorrect, also immediately contact the restaurant location that prepared your order.
