Varonis: A Branded South Asian Buffet for the Workplace

What the booking was

Varonis Systems, the data security company, asked Pearl Lemon Catering for a South Asian buffet for its team at the workplace, presented so that it felt like a Varonis occasion rather than a generic office lunch. This was a separate booking from our vegetarian breakfast for Varonis in Birmingham. We have not published a date, location or guest count for this buffet, because we do not hold confirmed details we can publish.

What made this brief different

South Asian food depends on sauces, breads and rice that need to arrive hot and stay at their best on a buffet, and an office has none of a restaurant’s back-of-house. The workplace was also in use when the catering arrived, so loading, security, table space and timing had to be agreed in advance. Several suppliers were involved for food and presentation items, so they needed one agreed arrival and setup sequence.

Who did what

• Varonis: the occasion, the office space and its brand assets.
• Pearl Lemon Catering: menu consultation, the South Asian buffet, coordination of the suppliers behind it, and the branded food presentation.

The menu and presentation

The menu was developed with Varonis rather than picked from a fixed list. The aim was a balanced spread: dishes for meat eaters and vegetarians, the breads and rice a South Asian meal relies on, and a level of spice suited to a mixed office audience. Every dish carried a Varonis-branded food flag, and menu cards helped colleagues with different dietary needs choose with confidence. Additional styling ideas were discussed during planning; this page describes only the food and the branded labelling.

Outcome

Pearl Lemon delivered the branded South Asian buffet for Varonis. We do not publish a client quotation, percentage improvements or a claim of ongoing work, because none of these are documented in a form we can publish.
