FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to what catering buyers ask most. For anything else, we’re a phone call away.

  • Utensils, plates, napkins, and serving spoons are all included, no extra cost. Trays arrive setup-ready, so all you need to do is unwrap and serve.
  • As early as 6:30 AM. Just note your earliest acceptable arrival time in your quote and we'll plan around it.
  • 10-person minimum, with no real ceiling. The largest group we've catered for was 558. Smaller than 10? Our in-store deli menu is a better fit.
  • 48 hours is the sweet spot. Larger events (50+) benefit from more lead time. Need something tighter? Give us a call.
