Corporate catering
Corporate catering for Los Angeles offices
We cater meetings, trainings, all-hands and recurring office lunches across Los Angeles from our kitchen in Glendale. Here is how we plan a corporate order and what helps us get it right the first time.
Headcount: what we need, and when
Office counts move. We suggest ordering for confirmed attendees plus about 10 percent for walk-ins, then trimming that buffer on recurring lunches once the pattern is clear. When you request a quote, tell us how firm the count is and when you will confirm it, and we will tell you our cutoff for changes. On a recurring program, telling us what came back uneaten each week is the fastest way to stop paying for food nobody eats.
Dietary needs and labels
In an office there is no server to ask, so the labels have to answer the questions. Send us your team's dietary list with the order: allergies, vegetarian and vegan, gluten free, and any religious requirements. For anyone with a serious allergy, ask us about an individually packed meal with their name on it rather than a shared buffet. It is the simplest way to make sure the right person gets the right food.
Delivery timing and your building
For a noon lunch, food should be set up and ready by 11:30. Tell us your suite number, an on-site contact, and how deliveries work in your building: loading dock, freight elevator, parking, security check-in, or a certificate of insurance. Those details are what turn an on-time arrival into an on-time lunch, and they are the most common cause of a late start when nobody mentions them.
Quotes, invoices and approvals
We send a written quote that lists the food, tax, delivery and any service fee, so whoever approves it sees the full number. If your accounts payable team needs a purchase order number, a specific billing contact or one invoice per department, tell us before the first order so the paperwork arrives the way they need it.
The right format for the meeting
Boxed meals suit trainings and working sessions where people eat at their seats. Buffets suit team lunches and all-hands. Breakfasts, afternoon snacks and client-facing lunches each need their own timing and presentation. Tell us what the meeting is, and we will suggest a format, not just send a menu.

Questions we hear a lot
How much notice do you need for a corporate order?
As much as you can give. Send your date with the quote request and we will confirm whether we can take it. For recurring lunches, ask us about a standing schedule.
What if our headcount changes after we order?
Tell us as early as you can. Adding meals is usually easier than removing them once food has been bought and prepped. We confirm our change cutoff with your quote.
What should we tell you about dietary needs?
Allergies, vegetarian and vegan counts, gluten free, and any religious requirements, with names for anyone who needs an individual meal. Keep the list on file and send it with each order.
Should we order boxed meals or a buffet?
Boxed meals are best when people eat at their seats or arrive at different times. A buffet is better when the team eats together, and it usually gives more variety per person.
Can you invoice our company?
Tell us what your accounts payable team needs, such as a PO number or a billing contact, before the first order, and we will set the invoice up to match.
Do you deliver outside Glendale?
Yes. We cater offices across Los Angeles. Include your address in the quote request so we can confirm delivery details.
