Questions

Questions About Catering Prices

How much does catering cost per guest?

Dinner menus start at 25 per guest, and most events run 25 to 45 per guest. Every menu is listed on this page with its price. The service level you choose is quoted with your event.

What does the service level cost?

It depends on how much we handle on the day and where the event is, so we quote it with your event. Pickup from our kitchen is free. The four levels, and what each one includes, are listed on this page.

What is the least expensive way to cater an event?

Pick the food up. Pickup is free and every menu is available for it. The lowest per-guest prices are on the breakfast menus and the sandwiches and boxed lunches on the lunch and dinner menu.

Why are some items quoted per event?

Because the price depends on what you choose. Tri-tip, ribs, fish, the omelette bar, drink stations, and custom cakes all vary with the selection and the size of the event, so we price them with you instead of publishing a number that would be wrong for most people.

Do prices include plates and utensils?

It depends on the service level. Delivery and drop-off is food only, with no plates or serveware. The disposable buffet set up includes disposable chafing dishes, plates, napkins, and utensils. The professional buffet service includes professional chafing dishes and upgraded disposable tableware.

Are servers included?

The professional buffet service includes up to 3 servers for 2 hours of staffed service. Additional servers are quoted with your event.

Will I see the full price before I book?

Yes. Your written quote lists the food, the service level, and every other charge line by line, so you see the full price for your event before you decide.

Is the quote free?

Yes. Quotes are free and there is no obligation. A real person replies within 2 business hours (8AM to 9PM), and the written quote usually follows within 24 hours.
