As COVID-19 restrictions are slowly easing, Dickey's Barbecue Pit is launching an expanded variety of boxed meals, packaged individually, boasting new item labels and more individualized sauce options.

The meals are an alternative addition to the brand's communal delivery buffet, according to a press release.

"Throughout the COVID-19 crisis, we've seen a huge demand from big-box retailers, grocery stores and government offices to cater our comfort food to their frontline workers," said Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey's Barbecue Restaurants, Inc., in the release. "Our extended catering options give businesses and organizations that are beginning to reopen an easy, affordable way to feed all of their employees a variety of slow-smoked meals without going off-site."

Guests can upgrade boxed lunch experience with Dickey's Westerner Sandwich, Chicken Caesar Salad or Loaded Baker for events of any size.

The chain, based in Dallas, offers catering set-ups for groups of all sizes, including party platters, full-service buffets and delivery buffets.
