  • Partner with another department to spread out the effort.
  • Dietary needs: Gluten-free, vegetarian, dairy-free
  • Accessibility needs: How might people of varying abilities participate in your breakfast?
  • Consider sharing the menu and other information by an email announcement. (No more than 5 days before your breakfast.)
