Sizing Your Order to Guest Count
Catering orders are sized to guest count rather than a standard wholesale case, spanning beef, chicken, pork and seafood depending on the event menu. Tell us your guest count and menu and we’ll help confirm quantities per category before you order. Lead time matters more for catering than for a standing restaurant account, since event orders are often larger than a typical delivery and need to be confirmed against availability ahead of the event date, especially for larger guest counts. Delivery or pickup timing is confirmed against your event start time rather than a standard route day, so product arrives with enough time for prep rather than mid-event, whether that event is a one-time booking or a recurring catering contract. Caterers running recurring event bookings can set up a standing account rather than requesting a new quote for every event, which speeds up ordering once a typical guest-count range and menu pattern is established.
