How to Order 50 Named Shakes for Your Team

When catering makes sense

Team workshops, wellness days, sports events, school gatherings and family celebrations all go smoothly when everyone gets a drink that is theirs. Naturalition's catering option is built for larger orders, including an order of 50 shakes, using the same menu items you would find in Fresh Serve.

Two ways to package

There are two catering styles. With pack-per-person, each shake is packaged separately and can carry an individual name tag, which is ideal for events where people have different preferences or allergies. With bulk packaging, servings are packed together in larger containers, which suits informal gatherings where people help themselves.

Collecting names and choices

For named shakes, gather the list before you order. A simple spreadsheet works well: name, chosen blend, size, and any allergy or dietary note. Aim to collect it early, set a deadline, and have one person responsible for the final list. Late changes are the most common source of confusion.

You may find it easier to offer a short menu, such as three or four blends, rather than every option. This keeps preparation simpler for the partner shop and helps people decide quickly.

Consider asking for first names only, which are easier to print on labels and keep personal information to a minimum. Confirm spellings, because a misspelled name on a label is a small thing that people notice.

Details to confirm

Choose the size for each person, and the liquid, sweetener and fruit that apply. Remember that every shake includes a free choice of these, and add-ons are $1 each. Check how the order is delivered or collected, and note the estimated time shown, which depends on the partner's availability and capacity.

Decide who will receive the delivery, who will sign for it and where it will be placed. A short note with the contact phone number and the arrival window makes handover easier.

Allergies and dietary needs

Seed shakes can involve known allergens such as sesame and sunflower, along with milk or soy depending on the liquid. Ask attendees about allergies in advance, mark the labels clearly, and talk to the partner shop about how they handle cross-contact. Do not assume a plant-based drink is allergen-free.

Timing and serving

Order well ahead of the event, because a large batch of fresh shakes needs preparation time. Shakes containing chia, flax and basil thicken as they sit, so plan for guests to collect and drink them soon after arrival. Provide napkins, and think about chilled storage if drinks have to wait.

A clear list, a firm deadline and early ordering make a large order easy.

If you are hosting a meeting, schedule the shake break at the start or midpoint, so drinks are enjoyed fresh. Have a plan for leftovers or no-shows, such as sharing with another team, so nothing is wasted.
