Tips & Advice

What types of food do caterers provide?

Different caterers provide all different types of food, and indeed one of the first variables to consider when looking for a caterer is their specialty and menu choices. Caterers almost always provide some type of canapé or passed hot appetizers menu, as this is a standard for most evening functions. Other standards include cheese/charcuterie displays, international small plates/tapas, sandwiches and wraps, raw seafood bar and classic champagne brunch with sweet and savory options. They also offer classic plated dinner menu with different preparations of steak/roast, chicken and fish. And many offer gourmet box lunches for a variety of settings and situations. If you are looking for a sweet table, make sure to find out out they employ a pastry chef or use a third-party vendor. Typical international cuisine options include Italian, pan-Asian, French and Latin fusion. Many caterers will create offerings to accommodate culinary trends--for example, offering a slider bar, a make-your-own taco bar, a specialty bacon station, or a vegetarian buffet menu. It’s important to know that, while restaurants usually specialize in just one or two cuisines, caterers will often do a range, since they can adjust according to the client’s order and needs.

How much do catering services usually cost?

Catering services don’t have a “usual” cost, since the cost of getting a simple boxed meal for 10 people carries an entirely different average charge than the cost of getting a wedding catered. Here are a few standard ranges for common types of catering. Taxes and service fees not included, but are typically built into the bill: Lunch, customer picks up:

Low: $150 for meat + cheese tray and grilled vegetable platter for 24 persons.
Medium: $240 for boxed lunches for 24 persons + cutlery packs, no beverages.
High: $400 for sushi and Asian appetizers for 24 persons, includes soft drinks.

Passed hors d’oeuvres for 20 people, 2 hours:

$300 (light canapés and cash bar)
$700 (heavy hors d’oeuvres, 10 items per person + beer/wine)

Outdoor daytime social event for 30:

Low: $330 for burgers and hotdogs with three sides
Medium: $650 for Western-style BBQ with pork and chicken, sides
High: $900 for fully catered pig roast with sides and serviceware.

Banquet service for 30 for corporate function:

Low: $600 for Mexican or Italian-style buffet service including salad and choice of two entrees.
Medium: $1,200 for plated three-course classic menu , choice of chicken/ribeye, including beer/wine.
High: $2,800 for full-service multi-course plated dinner, including setup, beer/wine, tabletop and dinnerware rental.

What is residential catering?

Residential catering is the category of caterers who provide food in people’s dwelling places. These services specialize in providing restaurant-quality food, service and experience for private functions in spaces that don’t have residential kitchens or servingware and furniture for a large group. Food service for hospitals and students who live on university campuses are non-commercial residential catering, but this is on the opposite end of the spectrum in scope, since these non-commercial services specialize in high-volume meal service for hundreds or thousands of people daily, and they usually do not provide off-site catering.
