Jersey Mike’s Catering Options Explained

Jersey Mike’s offers four main catering formats. Each one suits a different event type and group size. Knowing the difference before you order saves time and avoids surprises on the day.

1. Box Lunches

Box lunches are individually packaged meals — one sub, one bag of chips, and one cookie per person. They are easy to distribute, require no serving setup, and work perfectly for office meetings, corporate events, school trips, and outdoor activities.

Each guest gets their own complete meal in a clean package. No sharing. No mess. Starting at around $10.50 per person, box lunches are one of the best value catering options available at any fast casual chain.

Available in Regular or Mini sizes. Mini boxes work well for lighter eaters or when you want to keep costs lower per head.

2. Giant Sub Trays

Giant Sub Trays are the showstopper option. A 3-foot or 6-foot sub, pre-sliced into sections, laid out on a tray for guests to help themselves. High visual impact. Great for parties, sports events, casual office gatherings, and any situation where you want food to be the centerpiece.

Pro tip from regulars: ask for half Mike’s Way and half plain when ordering a Giant Sub Tray for a mixed group. This way, people who prefer lighter toppings and those who love the full vinegar and oil experience are both covered.

3. Subs By The Bag

Order multiple individual subs bagged together. Best for small to medium groups who want variety — different people can order different subs and everything comes packaged together. Starting around $69.99 for a bag. Great value for informal gatherings where people want their own choice.

4. Subs By The Box

A box of cold subs, each serving designed for sharing. Each box serves approximately 12 people and starts around $89.99. Best for larger office events where you want flexibility without the full Giant Sub tray setup.
