Use this checklist before placing a corporate food gift order. It complements the gift planning guide with the details to verify for each recipient and parcel.
Recipient checklist
- Full name, delivery address and contact details for the order.
- Whether the person will be available during the expected delivery period.
- Dietary preferences, including whether pork or alcohol is suitable.
- Any allergies or ingredients to avoid.
- Access to refrigeration if the selection requires it.
Product checklist
Confirm each product's ingredients, allergens, net weight, storage and shipping requirements. Check any substitution before assuming it has the same ingredients or suitability as the original item.
Order checklist
Confirm the live price, shipping charges, delivery options, box contents and any agreed customization. For multiple addresses or a specific deadline, request confirmation of the available service rather than assuming it is included.
Arrival checklist
Give clear storage information to the recipient. Refrigerated foods need prompt handling. Current alcoholic wines and certain frozen products are pickup-only in Ottawa and should not be included in a shipped selection without checking the listing.
Keep the record
Retain the confirmed product selection and delivery details for each order. This makes it easier to answer questions and repeat a suitable gift later.
