What size groups can you cater for?

We can handle anything from small to medium groups of 10 to 50 all the way to large occasions of several hundred people for your party or your meeting. We recommend placing orders online for events with 5 to 100 people – for larger groups call your local restaurant.

What is the minimum order for delivery?

The minimum order to qualify for delivery is $40 of Catering items (before taxes, coupons and delivery fee).

Are your menu prices higher for deliveries?

We never mark up our menu prices for delivery. You pay the same for pickup or delivery and get the same abundant portions, food quality and value.

Is there a delivery fee?

All orders are subject to a 15% delivery fee up to $500, then 5% for every dollar thereafter. The delivery fee covers the cost to package, transport and set up your event (where provided). The delivery fee is not a tip for the Delivery Specialist – please feel free to tip your Delivery Specialist based on your experience.

When is it appropriate to request chafing dishes and fuel?

For occasions where time between setup and service is extended or you have an event with a prolonged service, we recommend adding chafing dishes and warmers to your order to maintain food temperature. Also, chafing dishes are great when a higher level of presentation is wanted.
