Mikrotik router is supported for DHCP Server, we can configuring DHCP server for many network address depending how many interface on your mikrotik router.

So, here is how to configuring dhcp server on mikrotik :

• Connect to your mikrotik router using winbox, like usually :)
• After that, click on IP > DHCP Server
• Next, click on DHCP Setup 
  
• Select interface where we will create dhcp server available (example : ether1, i assume ether1 is gateway for LAN on your Office or Home Network)
  
• Next create Address Space or usually called Subnet Mask, default is /24 
  
• Next give gateway for LAN, default mikrotik router ip address 
  
• Then, create range of address to give out, (example : 10.16.34.200-10.16.34.254) 
  
• Next, give the dns address for LAN (example : i use google dns : 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) 
  
• And the last step is setup Lease Time for LAN, default is 3d 00:00:00, but on this tutorial i make 00:02:00 or equal to two hours 
  
• To finish configuration, click Next 
  
  
  
  
  
  

Now, to test DHCP Server running or not, we can trying from the Client inside LAN, remove static ip address from LAN. 

You can see the picture above, DHCP Server are work perfectly. :)
