DELIVERY ORDERS

Want us to come to you? Delivery orders are perfect for a more casual type of entertaining. Our trained delivery staff will assist with basic set up and ensure that your order is on time. All items are sent in disposable containers and platters. Delivery charges are based on time of delivery and location and scheduled within a 45 minute window of your choice.

EXECUTIVE SET UPS

Looking for an elevated presentation but don’t want staff? An Executive Set Up is a delivery option that provides more than just a drop off. Our Executive Set Up delivery team will come to your location and set up your food using linens, chafers, decorative serving platters and risers. Additional fees may include rental of chafers, linens, and pick up of the equipment. Executive Set Ups are scheduled within a one-hour window of your choice.

Hosting a large group? Cooking on site? Need full service event production with audio/video and all of the works? Our serving personnel, event planners and trained chefs will do everything required to create the perfect event so you can relax and enjoy the occasion. Event staff hours will be charged based on your specific event details. Most events require two-hour set up and a one hour clean up in addition to your actual event time.
