How office catering in Sharjah starts
Setting up office catering in Sharjah with Dana Prime follows three straightforward steps, designed so an office manager or HR lead can plan lunches with confidence before committing to anything.
- Brief: You tell us your headcount, office location in Sharjah, preferred delivery time, and any dietary patterns among colleagues (vegetarian, vegan, allergen concerns, pork-free, etc). We ask about your pantry or dining area setup so we can plan service accordingly.
- Tasting: Before any booking, we arrange a free tasting so you and your colleagues can sample dishes from our 16 courses and 136-dish range. This is where menus get adjusted to suit your office's taste and dietary mix, and where we quote after the tasting once your requirements are confirmed.
- Delivery: Once agreed, our own delivery, setup and serving team begins service on your chosen schedule, whether that is a single daily lunch run or multiple weekly deliveries across different days.
Many Sharjah offices start with a short trial period covering one or two weeks before moving to ongoing service, so you can judge consistency, punctuality and how well the menu suits your team before deciding on a longer monthly supply arrangement. There is no obligation to continue past a trial, and menus can be revisited at any point as your office's headcount or preferences change.
Because we operate our own kitchens in Abu Dhabi Industrial City (ICAD II) and manage delivery in-house rather than through a third party, timings for Sharjah offices can be set to match your specific lunch window, and adjusted with reasonable notice if meeting schedules shift.
Dietary needs and allergen handling
Office teams are rarely uniform in their dietary needs, and Sharjah workplaces in particular often include colleagues from many different backgrounds. We capture dietary requirements at the brief stage, per headcount, so vegetarian, vegan, pork-free and allergen-sensitive colleagues are catered for from day one rather than as an afterthought.
- Vegetarian and vegan: Dishes such as chana masala, paneer makhani, vegetable moussaka, stuffed bell peppers and grilled halloumi skewers can be included as standing options or built into the rotation for offices with a meaningful vegetarian or vegan headcount.
- Allergen awareness: When you provide headcounts with specific allergen notes (nuts, shellfish, dairy, gluten), we plan the relevant dishes and preparation steps accordingly and flag any dish that may pose a risk to the individuals concerned.
- Per-head tracking: Rather than a blanket approach, we ask for a simple breakdown of dietary requirements by number of colleagues, which lets us portion and label food correctly for larger office groups.
This information is confirmed again ahead of the tasting, so any adjustments can be tested and agreed before the first day of service. As your office headcount changes over time, whether through new hires or shifting team composition, you can update the dietary breakdown at any point and we will revise the menu plan to match.
All food is prepared under ISO 22000 and HACCP-certified processes in our kitchens, giving a documented basis for how dietary segregation and allergen handling are managed at production stage, not just at the point of delivery.
We recommend Sharjah offices review dietary requirements every few months, particularly where teams grow or change, so the rotation stays accurate and colleagues are not left without a suitable option.
Delivery, setup and collection in Sharjah
Office catering only works if delivery is reliable and setup does not disrupt the working day. Our own delivery, setup and serving team handles the full process for Sharjah offices, from kitchen to table, without relying on third-party couriers.
Delivery windows are agreed at the brief stage to match your office's lunch schedule, whether that is a fixed midday slot or a staggered window across departments. Because our kitchens are based in Abu Dhabi Industrial City (ICAD II) and we run our own fleet, timings can be planned specifically for Sharjah routes and adjusted with reasonable notice if your meeting schedule or office hours change.
- Setup: Our team arrives ahead of the agreed serving time to lay out dishes, chafing equipment where needed, and any live station elements such as a shawarma live station or pasta live station for larger gatherings.
- Serving: For offices that prefer served rather than self-service lunches, our serving staff can manage the line, replenish dishes, and keep the area tidy through the service window.
- Collection: After service, our team returns to collect serving equipment, trays and any reusable items, leaving your pantry or dining area clear.
For smaller daily deliveries, service may simply involve drop-off of individually packed or tray-set meals with clear labelling for dietary variants, timed to arrive just before your lunch break. For weekly or occasion-based deliveries with larger headcounts, full setup and serving are typically arranged.
Because delivery, setup and serving all sit within one team, there is a single point of contact for any changes on the day, rather than coordinating separately with a courier and a catering supplier.
Why Sharjah offices choose Dana Prime
Dana Prime has been operating since 1998, and our kitchens in Abu Dhabi Industrial City (ICAD II) currently cook more than 7,000 meals a day, giving us the production capacity to take on daily and weekly office catering across Sharjah without straining a single-day order or a recurring weekly schedule.
We manage the full chain ourselves: cooking, delivery, setup and serving are all handled by our own team, not outsourced. For an office manager coordinating lunches for a growing headcount, that means one point of accountability rather than several suppliers to chase if something needs adjusting.
- Capacity: With 136 dishes across 16 courses and daily output in the thousands of meals, taking on additional Sharjah offices, or scaling up an existing one, does not require re-engineering our kitchen process.
- Compliance: Our kitchens hold ISO 22000 and HACCP certification, giving a documented food safety basis that HR and admin leads can reference when reporting on office welfare arrangements internally.
- Track record: We currently supply 22 client organisations on an ongoing basis, and hold a 4.6-star Google rating, which you are welcome to check independently before booking.
- Tasting before booking: Every new office catering arrangement starts with a free tasting, so you are not committing to a monthly supply arrangement based on a menu description alone.
We serve Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah and the wider UAE from the same kitchens and delivery operation, so an office with sites in more than one emirate can consolidate catering under a single supplier and a single menu rotation, rather than managing separate arrangements per location.
