The occasion
Company Picnics catering in Los Angeles & Orange County
What it takes to cater company picnics well — the logistics, the timing, and how we make it work.
Company picnic catering is catering at its most relaxed — and its most crowd-pleasing. We bring charcoal BBQ, grill stations and abundant shareable spreads to parks, lots and campuses across Los Angeles, and we cook on site so the food reaches the table hot.
Outdoor catering in Los Angeles is a food-safety problem before it is a menu problem, and it is the part most picnic quotes ignore. Ninety degrees on an exposed lot changes what can be on a table and for how long: mayonnaise-bound salads, cream desserts and anything sitting in a shallow tray in direct sun come off the menu, replaced by oil-and-acid dressed grain and pulse salads, grilled vegetables, and fruit that holds. Hot food comes off the grill in waves rather than being cooked once and held for two hours, cold food sits on ice with shade over it rather than on a trestle in the open, and we bring the shade, the ice and the coolers because a park does not have them. Cooking to order in waves is also simply better food, which is the happy part of the constraint.
The other half is the site. A park or a lot has no kitchen, no power you can rely on, no water and often no bins beyond what your permit provides — and the permit, the amplified-sound rules and whether open flame is allowed at all belong to the park and to you, not to us. We plan around your permit and the site's rules rather than assuming them, and bring what is missing: charcoal grills and stations, tables, coolers and ice, service ware, and waste removal so the lot is left clean. Menus are built for the crowd a picnic actually is — families, kids, a wide age range, people eating standing up — so BBQ and grill stations, abundant shareable platters, and food a nine-year-old will actually eat. Everything is halal · zabiha-sourced, which for a whole-company family event means one table for everybody. Priced per guest, staffed and equipped as far as you want us to go.

Company Picnics catering runs about $20–$62 per guest for food. Multiplied out, that is what a spread costs at the counts people usually ask about.
| Guests | Estimated food cost | Per guest |
|---|---|---|
| 25 | $500 – $1,550 | $20 – $62 |
| 50 | $1,000 – $3,100 | $20 – $62 |
| 100 | $2,000 – $6,200 | $20 – $62 |
| 150 | $3,000 – $9,300 | $20 – $62 |
Food only. Staffing, rentals, delivery, setup and breakdown are separate lines, and a mandatory service charge and California sales tax apply on top — so the invoice for a staffed event runs meaningfully above the food figure. Smaller counts sit at the top of the band: setup and delivery cost the same at 25 guests as at 100. Every menu halal · zabiha-sourced.
