On the menu

What’s on the Handheld Express menu

The online menu is built around the workday. Mornings start with breakfast bundles or boxed breakfasts. For lunch, there are boxed sandwiches and wraps, boxed hot meals, entree salads and bistro bowls, and mini sandwich platters for the meeting table.

For team dinners or longer meetings, we offer lunch and dinner bundles and meeting and party bites bundles. You can add entrees, salads, sides, tacos, charcuterie, appetizers, desserts, beverages, and disposables, and the menu also includes seasonal specials.

To order, choose your items on the order page, select delivery or curbside pickup, and place your order at least 16 hours in advance.

Handheld Express is for when you just need the food. The menu is streamlined, with no changes and no coordinator, which keeps the minimum order lower and eliminates the production fee. Everything is handed off by a delivery driver or picked up curbside on disposable platters, so cleanup is quick.

Drop-off catering sits in the middle. You work with a coordinator who plans a buffet or food display around your group’s preferences and dietary needs. Our team delivers and sets up, either on disposables with nothing to collect afterward or on our own equipment and display pieces; in that case, we come back after the event to pick everything up and clean up, leaving the space as though we were never there.

For a fully hosted event, full-service catering goes further. Our staff stays on site, chefs can cook on site, and we bring the rentals and decor, with passed hors d’oeuvres and action stations, buffets and food stations, or family-style and plated dinners. A coordinator plans the menu with you to ensure it fits your launch, holiday party, or wedding.

We cook and prep in our Santa Clara kitchen, and we’re HACCP food safety certified, so the same standards apply whether you order a box of sandwiches or a full buffet.
