Catering Burbank, properly

Burbank is the media production capital of the world, home to major studio lots and dozens of independent soundstages and post-production houses. Catering in Burbank requires an agile team that understands production call sheets, tight shooting schedules, and tight call-sheet turnarounds for studio crews and executive suites.

Studio lot access requires flawless operational logistics: advance drive-on gate passes, verified vendor badging, and punctual delivery directly to designated soundstage bays, edit suites, or backlot basecamps. We build buffer windows into transit along the 134 and 5 freeways, ensuring hot meals arrive exactly when the Assistant Director calls lunch.

Production crews and creative executives demand clean, high-protein fuel that sustains 12-hour shooting days without post-meal fatigue. Our menus balance hearty hot entrees — such as grilled chicken, smoked beef brisket, and baked salmon — with salads, rice pilaf, and fresh juice.

Beyond soundstage catering, we provide full-service catering for Burbank wrap parties, entertainment premieres, and private corporate events near the Hollywood Burbank Airport. We furnish complete chafer setups, ceramic display ware, beverage stations, and dedicated event staff to deliver a first-class dining experience for cast, crew, and corporate guests.

What a Burbank film permit means for your meal plan. Film Burbank, run by the Police Department, is the City's official source for filming permits, and the Fire Film Safety Office reviews each permit to decide whether a Fire Safety Officer is needed. The permit belongs to the production, so your location manager holds it. The Police Film Office (818) 238-3105 asks for contact at least 48 business hours before filming starts. What we need from the production is the base camp address, the parking plan, the call time and the meal times. Production orders need 8 days' notice at a minimum, 5:30am delivery windows are available for crew calls, and earlier is possible with notice. Film and TV catering starts at $25 a guest, all-in.

Burbank lunch and breakfast catering. For offices, edit bays and agencies the order is simpler. Boxed lunches start at 15 and need 8 days’ notice, are labeled for contents and allergens, and can be sorted by suite or team. Drop-off trays need 8 days’ notice. Breakfast comes by the tray, with a breakfast taco bar, pancakes, waffles, bagels, croissants and muffins, and coffee service with proper urns. A weekly program starts at $21 a guest, with a standing day and an adjustable headcount. One halal menu feeds the whole floor, so nobody gets a separate box.
