Delivery & Setup FAQ
What is the delivery fee?
Delivery is $40 flat for most orders (up to about 50 guests), $50–$60 for large events (100+), and $30 for same-day small orders (10–16 guests). Pickup is free.
Does delivery include setup?
Yes — your food arrives hot in catering trays and we arrange a clean, self-serve buffet line. On-site serving staff and complex venue setups are handled case by case.
