Every office has someone who says “we should start planning the holiday party” sometime in October. Then it’s suddenly the first week of December, the good caterers are booked, and the team is looking at another round of sandwich trays.
Getting ahead of it now makes all the difference. Whether your team works out of the Scottsdale Airpark, a Tempe tech campus, a West Valley warehouse, or a Midtown Phoenix high-rise, the best December dates are already starting to go. Aioli Gourmet Burgers caters corporate holiday parties across the Phoenix area with chef grill stations, food trucks, drop-off burger bars, and individually packaged meals.
Why Gourmet Burgers Work for Company Parties
A good holiday party has to feel special without feeling stuffy, and it has to feed people with very different tastes. A chef-driven burger menu handles both. It’s familiar enough that nobody’s nervous about what’s on their plate and nice enough that it feels like a real thank-you.
That idea is what Aioli Gourmet Burgers was built on. Co-founders Kyle Hollenbeck and Chef Tommy D’Ambrosio, a Culinary Institute of America graduate and Chopped Champion, grew up together in Phoenix and turned one food truck into a full catering company. Today our team handles corporate catering, chef action stations, cafeteria management, and individual meals, so we’re used to working around a company’s schedule.
Pick the Setup That Fits Your Team
Chef action station. Our free-standing grill service puts a private chef in the middle of the party, cooking burgers to order while guests choose their toppings. People naturally gather around it, which gets coworkers talking.
Food truck in the parking lot. For warehouses, distribution centers, and big campuses, parking the Aioli truck right outside makes it easy for every shift to join in.
Drop-off burger bar. For an in-office lunch, we deliver a full gourmet burger bar with all the toppings and condiments. Set it out and you’re ready to go.
Full catering. If your group has a mix of tastes and diets, our full menu adds cheesesteaks, Greek-inspired dishes, and wraps alongside the burgers.
Individual meals. Hybrid schedules and staggered shifts are a reality for a lot of teams. Individually packaged meals keep things simple and make sure everyone gets the same treat.
Menu Favorites for a Holiday Crowd
The White Truffle Swiss landed at number four on ABC15’s list of must-try burgers in Arizona, and it’s a hit at company events every time. The Italiano, with bacon, fresh mozzarella, basil, balsamic reduction, and basil garlic aioli, is another one people ask for by name. Vegetarian coworkers can choose the falafel burger or a Beyond patty, so nobody ends up with just a side salad. Add mac and cheese bites and tomato bacon bruschetta and the spread feels like a celebration.
Tips for Planning Your Company Holiday Party
Lock in your date by early November. December Fridays go first, especially the two weeks before winter break.
Choose lunch or evening. Daytime parties tend to get better turnout from employees with families, while evening events feel more festive. Every service style works for both.
Share dietary needs early. Let us know about vegetarian guests or any restrictions so the menu covers everyone.
Plan for cool nights. December evenings in the Valley can get chilly. If you’re hosting outside, a few patio heaters make a grill station even more inviting.
Reserve Your Holiday Party Date
Your team put in the work this year, so treat them to food they’ll actually be excited about. Start your catering inquiry or call (602) 848-8823 to hold your December date.
