Chinese food is one of the most requested catering cuisines for office events, and for good reason. The menus are big, the price per person tends to be reasonable, and almost everyone on your team has eaten it before. But “everyone's had it before” can also work against you.

You've been running the weekly team lunch for about two months now. Each time, you pick a restaurant, share the link, field the same Slack messages about allergies and dietary needs, and place the order. The program is working, technically. But you're starting to wonder how long you can keep doing this on top of everything else.
 That’s where many recurring meal programs start to break down. They’re often built using a format designed for one-time meals, then expected to repeat every week. The real test is simple: does the work get easier over time, or does the admin burden stay the same?
If it stays the same, the program probably has an expiration date.
