Office fruit delivery in Lahore: what it costs in 2026

The short answer: in 2026, fresh-cut office fruit delivery in Lahore realistically costs Rs 100–200 per employee per delivery day. Fruit Now charges Rs 150 per person per day — roughly Rs 3,250 per employee per month on a Monday-to-Friday schedule — with a free trial delivery and no lock-in contract.

What you're actually paying for

A cut-fruit box is not just fruit. The price of a properly run service covers five things: the fruit itself (bought daily — mandi prices move with the season), the morning cutting and hygiene work, food-safe packaging, the cold chain (chilled storage plus insulated delivery boxes — non-negotiable for cut fruit in a Lahore summer), and the delivery route to your office before the mid-morning break. Quotes that look surprisingly cheap are usually missing one of the last two, and those are the two you'll regret skipping.

The price bands you'll see in Lahore

• Whole-fruit baskets (Rs 60–120/person/day): cheapest, zero preparation — but in practice the bananas brown on the shelf and half the basket goes home untouched. Low cost, low impact.
• Fresh-cut boxes (Rs 100–200/person/day): the format that actually gets eaten, because there's nothing to peel and nothing to wash. This is where Fruit Now sits, at Rs 150 for a Small Box.
• Catering fruit platters (Rs 300+/person): beautiful for events, overkill for a Tuesday. Priced for occasions, not routines.

The math for a real office

Take a 20-person office on a five-day schedule with one Small Box per person:

For context, that per-employee figure is less than most offices spend per head on chai and biscuits over the same month — it's just that nobody ever adds the biscuit budget up.

What moves the price up or down

• Days per week. Three days instead of five cuts the bill by 40% and still lands the perk. Many offices start at three.
• Headcount. Bigger orders are cheaper to deliver per box — 20+ boxes a day? we'll quote a custom rate in your meeting.
• Season. Mango season makes everyone happy at the same price; imported off-season fruit is what quietly inflates "premium" quotes elsewhere.
• Box size. A shared Family Box (Rs 250, serves 2–3 people) can beat one-box-per-person for small teams that snack lightly.

What Ramadan does to the budget

For one month a year the daytime office snack disappears entirely. A good supplier plans for this instead of billing through it: pause for the month, or switch the same budget to iftar-timed fruit boxes — fruit at iftar is already the tradition, we just make it turn up chilled and on time. Either way, you shouldn't pay a rupee for daytime boxes nobody can eat.

Questions to ask any supplier (including us)

• Is the fruit cut the same morning, and does it travel chilled?
• Can we skip days free — and how late can we tell you?
• Is there a contract, or can we stop anytime?
• What happens when a box isn't fresh?
• Is invoicing one clean monthly bill, or chaos?

Our answers: yes and yes; free until 8pm the night before; no contract, stop with a day's notice; we replace or credit it the same day; and one itemised invoice paid by bank transfer or cash.

Bottom line

Budget Rs 150 per person per delivery day — Rs 3,250 per employee per month at five days a week — and insist on a cold chain and a free trial before committing. That's the honest 2026 number for Lahore.
