How corporate daily catering starts with Dana Prime
Setting up daily meal supply for an office or organisation follows three straightforward steps, designed so that procurement and admin leads can move from enquiry to service without disruption to their teams.
- Brief: We start with a short call or WhatsApp exchange to understand headcount, delivery site, working hours, dietary mix and how many meals are needed per day (breakfast, lunch, or both). This lets us scope the right menu rotation and delivery schedule before anything is agreed.
- Tasting: Every corporate daily catering arrangement begins with a free tasting, held before any booking is confirmed. This gives your team the chance to review portion sizes, flavour profiles and presentation across a sample of dishes from our 136-dish, 16-course menu, and to raise any dietary or cultural requirements directly with our team.
- Delivery: Once the menu and schedule are confirmed, we begin daily delivery on the agreed start date. Our own delivery, setup and serving team handles transport, on-site setup and service, so your office receives meals ready to serve at the agreed time each working day.
Throughout this process we quote after the tasting, once the exact meal count, service style and rotation length are fixed. There is no need to commit to a long-term catering arrangement before you have tasted the food and confirmed logistics suit your office.
For companies with multiple offices or sites across the UAE, we coordinate delivery windows separately for each location, so meal timing stays consistent whether your teams are based in Abu Dhabi, Dubai or Sharjah.
Procurement leads can also request references from our 22 client organisations at this stage, so you can check service consistency and reliability before finalising the arrangement.
Hygiene, food safety and traceability
Daily meal supply at volume depends on consistent food safety practice, not just on the day it is inspected but every single day meals leave the kitchen. Dana Prime holds ISO 22000 and HACCP certification, and both frameworks govern how our kitchens in Abu Dhabi Industrial City (ICAD II) operate day to day.
Temperature control is monitored at each stage of preparation, from receiving raw ingredients through cooking, holding and transport, so that meals arrive at your office within safe temperature ranges regardless of whether the delivery is to Abu Dhabi, Dubai or Sharjah. Cold chain and hot-holding equipment used in our delivery vehicles is checked as part of this process, not left to assumption.
Traceability is maintained from ingredient sourcing through to the finished dish, which means that if a query is raised about a specific delivery or batch, we can identify preparation dates, staff involved and ingredient origin. This is particularly relevant for procurement leads who need to document supplier compliance as part of their own internal audits.
- ISO 22000 food safety management system covering the full kitchen operation.
- HACCP-based hazard analysis applied to every stage of production.
- Documented temperature logs for cooking, holding and transport.
- Traceable batch and preparation records available on request.
Our own delivery, setup and serving team is trained in hygienic handling and service practice, so food safety standards are maintained not just in the kitchen but through to the point of service on your premises. This consistency is a key reason several of our 22 client organisations have maintained ongoing daily supply with us over multiple years. We are happy to share our certification documents and discuss our food safety practice in more detail during the initial brief, ahead of the tasting.
Delivery windows, setup and collection
For corporate daily catering, timing reliability matters as much as food quality. Meals arriving late, or without the right setup support, create disruption for office managers and admin teams who are often juggling several other responsibilities. Dana Prime operates its own delivery, setup and serving team, rather than relying on third-party couriers, so delivery windows are agreed directly with us and held to consistently.
Delivery schedules are set during the initial brief and confirmed after the tasting, based on your office's working hours and meal timing (breakfast, lunch or both). For companies spanning Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah, we coordinate separate delivery routes and windows per location, so timing does not slip when demand is highest across the wider UAE.
On arrival, our team handles setup at your premises, which can include arranging serving stations, chafing dishes and buffet lines depending on the service style agreed, whether that is a simple grab-and-go format or a more structured buffet service for larger headcounts.
- Agreed delivery windows set per site and reviewed if your office hours change.
- On-site setup handled by our own trained serving staff, not outsourced.
- Buffet or individually packed formats available depending on your office's space and preference.
- Collection of serving equipment and any reusable containers is scheduled as part of the same visit or a follow-up collection window.
Because the same team manages delivery, setup and collection, there is a single point of accountability if a schedule needs to be adjusted, for example around public holidays or changes in headcount. This also means feedback from your office reaches our kitchen quickly, allowing adjustments to be made within the existing rotation rather than waiting for a new cycle to begin.
Why companies choose Dana Prime for daily meal supply
Dana Prime has operated since 1998, and our kitchens in Abu Dhabi Industrial City (ICAD II) now prepare more than 7,000 meals daily for organisations across Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah and the wider UAE. This scale means we can take on daily meal supply for a single office or coordinate consistent service across multiple sites for the same company, without the logistics being handled by a third party.
Owning our full delivery, setup and serving team, rather than outsourcing any part of the chain, gives procurement and admin leads a single point of contact for scheduling, quality queries and any adjustments to headcount or menu. This is one of the reasons a number of our 22 client organisations have kept daily supply arrangements running over an extended period.
- Own kitchens, own delivery fleet and own serving staff, with no subcontracted links in the chain.
- 136 dishes across 16 courses, enough breadth to rotate menus across a full working month without repetition.
- ISO 22000 and HACCP certification governing food safety from ingredient sourcing through to service.
- A free tasting before any booking, so your office can assess the food directly rather than relying on a menu list alone.
- 4.6-star Google rating reflecting feedback from existing clients.
We also encourage procurement leads to request references directly from our existing client organisations, so you can verify delivery consistency, food quality and responsiveness before committing to an ongoing arrangement. We quote after the tasting, once your exact meal count, delivery site and rotation length are confirmed, so there is no obligation before you have seen and tasted the food.
Whether your requirement is a single office in Abu Dhabi or coordinated daily supply across Dubai and Sharjah as well, our capacity and own logistics team are built to support consistent, on-time daily meal service at volume.
