Do you cater one-time school events, or only recurring meal programs?

Both. Our recurring programs cover preschools, schools, daycares, and camps, and we also cater one-off events such as board meetings, graduations, field days, staff appreciation meals, and field trips.

How far ahead do I need to book a school event?

It depends on the size of the event and the time of year, so we confirm lead time when we quote. Large graduation and field day orders book up fastest in spring, so send the date as early as you have it and we will tell you what is still open.

Is there a minimum order for event catering?

Minimums vary by event type, headcount, and delivery location, and we confirm them with your quote. Tell us your headcount and we will tell you what works.

Can you label box lunches for allergies on a field trip?

Yes. Field trip boxes are labelled per child with their dietary flags, and can be sorted by class so teachers are not reading labels on a bus. Our kitchen is nut-free, and we handle gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan.

Do you deliver to the event, or do we pick up?

We deliver across the San Francisco Bay Area. Setup and serving equipment can be included depending on the event, so tell us what the room needs when you ask for a quote.

Can an existing meal program school add event catering?

Yes, and it is usually simpler, because we already hold your dietary records and site access. Event catering is quoted separately from your recurring program.

What We Cater

Six kinds of school event we handle most often. If yours is not on the list, ask anyway.

Daily Lunch Catering

40+ meals a day

A standing lunch service for a school that wants catering without running its own kitchen. This is our recurring program, billed per meal.

Board and Stakeholder Meetings

10 to 80 attendees

Working lunches and evening spreads for board meetings, budget sessions, and donor or district visits, delivered set up and ready to serve.

Graduation and Promotion Events

100 to 500 attendees

Receptions for kindergarten promotion, eighth grade graduation, and end of year ceremonies, sized for families as well as students.

Field Days and Sports Events

50 to 300 attendees

Grab and go food for track meets, jamborees, and field days, packed so it holds up outdoors and moves quickly through a line.

Faculty Appreciation Meals

15 to 80 teachers

Staff breakfasts, professional development lunches, and teacher appreciation week, delivered to the staff room on a set schedule.

Field Trip Box Lunches

20 to 200 students

Individually labelled box lunches with each child's dietary flags on the label, packed for a bus and sorted by class.

What We Need to Quote It

Event pricing depends on headcount, menu, and what the room needs, so there is no flat rate to publish. Send us these five things and we will come back with a quote.

Event date, and the window the food needs to be on the table
Headcount, and whether it covers students, staff, or families
Allergies and dietary counts (our kitchen is nut-free throughout)
Delivery address, and where on site the food should go
Whether you need setup, serving equipment, or drop off only
