Delivery/ Pick-up

Catering Designed for Delivery to Homes, Offices, Venues across Los Angeles/ Orange County

Great event catering for meaningful events might happen to be a delivery, even if it feels like there should be more people involved. It feels effortless due to the extraordinary planning and design thinking that allows elevated event experiences for up to several hundred people to occur smoothly. We're not a restaurant or app where the delivery of a single meal by a dedicated driver is fraught with drama, stress, and the mindset that a refund fixes a compromised event, due to disconnected 3rd parties with inconsistent checks at loading and a driver whose focus is to drop and dash. Our delivery menus are designed to exceed delivery-forward requirements and we pair them with drivers and/or a small onsite team that allow you to have the peace of mind that comes with caring, accountable people using a process that delivers hundreds of successful events a year.

What we deliver

We deliver beautifully plattered appetizers, desserts, grazing tables, meze platters, boxed lunches, and seasonal platters for elevated gatherings from 20 to 200, as well as family-portioned feasts on a number of our seasonal menus. Our driver can help you load it into place and platter or help you put it away for an event a few hours away. We check to make sure everything is present, including display elements like tent cards, dietary labels, and signage if that is part of your order. We walk you through final plating and finishing instructions so you are prepared when your guests arrive.

Popular events for delivery

Delivery menus are popular for in-office corporate gatherings with a simple food display like happy hours, meetings, and lunch and learns. Social clients use them for gatherings like baby showers, bridal showers, poker parties, house parties, parent gatherings, pre-formal gatherings, holiday parties, and salons. For those estates that have house managers and in-house service staff, we plug into that setup seamlessly. Our holiday menus offer popular thematic and seasonal additions. Weddings are limited to dessert or appetizer displays that plug into an existing service team with an experienced planner or coordinator.

Delivery tiers

• Small group delivery. A La Carte menu at its most direct: breakfast for a boardroom of ten, a working lunch for a team of eight, an afternoon tea for a bridal shower of twelve. A driver brings the food and stays up to thirty minutes to help set it up, confirm the labeling, and hand off before walking out.
• Large group delivery. Conference-room lunches for fifty, boxed lunches for a hundred, grazing boards and tiered breakfasts for a cocktail-hour crowd, a backyard baby shower for seventy-five. At this scale, building logistics become part of the plan: loading docks, security check-in, freight elevators, and COI requirements. On more complex drops, a driver plus a small onsite team lands together to compose the spread before guests arrive.
• Delivery with more complex items. Themed bars built for delivery: taco, slider, breakfast burrito, crepe, grazing tables that read as design elements. A driver and small onsite team set the format up on site: positioning proteins, staging components, lighting warmers, confirming labels.
• Delivery with additional service. We also offer a more comprehensive option that can include staff for bussing or beverage elements like coffee.

When delivery isn't the answer

Our delivery options are designed so that they work for an event without staff present. This is a limited portion of the menu that doesn't include some of our more experiential elements or items that require a la minute finishing and service. If our full menu or some of those food or service elements are important to you, then we would switch to discussing a full service event. Curious as to the difference for an event you're considering? Please schedule a consultation and we can take you through the parallel options.
