Affordable catering FAQs
Themed office lunches on trays usually land around $12 to $20 a head before delivery, service and tax. Sandwich and wrap platters and a continental breakfast run lower, about $8 to $16. Boxed meals cost $3 to $8 more per person than the same food on trays. The city cost guides on our blog show the bands for your market.
Orders through CaterAi start at $100, so a small team can order from any catering partner on this page. Each partner page shows its delivery zones, and CaterAi matches your headcount to the catering partners that fit.
Buffet trays and family-style pans cost less per person than individual boxes, because nobody portions and labels one meal at a time. Sandwich platters, taco bars, rice bowls and curry trays stretch protein across a room. Boxed meals cost more, but they control portions and carry dietary labels.
The largest groups of these catering partners are in the San Francisco Bay Area, New York, Chicago and Austin, followed by Seattle and Los Angeles. Smaller groups serve Washington, D.C. and Atlanta, and a few partners serve Boston, Denver, Dallas and Philadelphia.
