Wow - thanks everyone! I think this is the longest thread I've ever started
To answer some questions (just because), the restaurant is mostly delivery/carry out. they have a few tables, but you still order at the counter and get the food the same way. There's no one you would tip if you ate there or if you did carry out - not even a tip jar next to the cash register.
Yes, it's winter where I live.
To be more specific on the food, it's 32 pounds of deli meat and a bunch of quarts of accompanying sides and accompanying breads. They are also including paper plates and plastic wear. They'll be handing the stuff off to me at the main door of our business. It is being ordered in advance. Actually ordered it today for next Wednesday, which is what prompted the post. The place does have a specific catering menu, and we ordered off that menu.
