How Ordering Works FAQ
Answers about requesting a quote, booking timelines, payment timing, and how La Rio’s turns an inquiry into a confirmed order.
// Quick answer
The short version
Most ordering questions are really planning questions: when to book, how quotes work, and what confirms the order. The process is quote-first and event-friendly, not generic e-commerce ordering.
- Start with a quote request including date, headcount, and location.
- Earlier booking is better for large events and high-demand dates.
- Payment is due on the event date unless the approved quote or invoice states otherwise.

How Ordering Works FAQ
What's the minimum number of guests for catering?
We cater all of our menu options for 10 or more guests. There's no hard 30-guest minimum — smaller groups just use our custom quote pricing.
How do I place a catering order?
Request a quote on our website or call (647) 548-8740. We'll confirm your menu, guest count and date, send a detailed quote, and lock in your order with an invoice.
How far in advance should I book?
Request the quote as early as possible, especially for a large event or a busy date. Lead time is not guaranteed until the team confirms availability for your menu, date and location.
What are your payment terms?
Payment is due on the event date unless the approved quote or invoice states otherwise. HST (13%) applies to catering invoices.
Do you provide plates, cutlery and napkins?
Disposable plates, cutlery and napkins aren't included in base pricing, but you can add them for $0.50/person.
