Handling dietary restrictions with last-minute staff can be challenging, but with a little planning and clear communication, it’s entirely manageable


New hires might not disclose food preferences immediately


and ensuring they feel included during team food moments is essential


Set up a low-barrier system so everyone can share their dietary needs without hesitation


Try a Google Form, a line in your welcome packet, or a casual chat over coffee


Let them know this isn’t for records—it’s to make sure no one misses out on food


Always confirm with vendors that they can accommodate several dietary profiles


Even if you don’t know everyone’s needs yet, having at least three choices—such as a vegetarian, a gluten-free, and a standard option—covers most common restrictions


Include clear labels on all food items so people can easily identify what’s safe for them


Don’t stress if a new person appears with food needs you didn’t anticipate


Reach out to the new staff member directly and politely ask if they have any dietary needs


Most people appreciate the thoughtfulness and will be happy to let you know


A simple fix might be grabbing a pre-packaged option, ordering a single item online, or catering recruitment agencies offering a trusted backup snack


Maintain a reserve of snacks that work for nearly everyone


Keep bananas, almonds, baked rice crisps, and single-serve Greek yogurt ready


These don’t require labeling or special preparation and can be offered to anyone who needs them


Finally, make inclusion a part of your team culture


Normalize asking, "What can you eat?" without embarrassment


Respecting food choices deepens trust and strengthens team bonds


You don’t need to get it 100% right—you just need to care


Small gestures around food leave lasting impressions of respect and inclusion
