Corporate catering runs about $18–$87 per guest, all-in, and the price per guest falls as the guest count rises. Here is what a spread costs at the counts people usually ask about.

Estimated corporate catering cost by guest count — all-in, before sales tax
GuestsEstimated costPer guest
25$475 – $1,350$19 – $54
50$900 – $4,350$18 – $87
100$1,800 – $8,100$18 – $81
150$2,700 – $11,700$18 – $78

All-in: the food plus the staff, delivery and setup the service style needs. Tastings, rentals, add-on services and California sales tax are the only additions, and there is no service charge. The crew, setup and delivery are shared across the room, so the price per guest falls as the count rises. Every menu halal · zabiha-sourced.

The occasion

Corporate catering in Los Angeles & Orange County

What it takes to cater corporate well — the logistics, the timing, and how we make it work.

Corporate catering in Los Angeles is judged on two things at once: whether the food is good enough to mention afterward, and whether it arrived on time and disappeared without disrupting the agenda. A launch, an all-hands, a board dinner, a quarterly summit — each has a window, and the window is the brief. We treat the run-of-show as the menu's frame: a working lunch that has to plate and clear inside a thirty-minute break is a different build than an evening reception that runs three hours, and we plan, staff, and pace each one to its actual schedule.

Office and event food also has to answer a guest list nobody fully controls. Across a real LA company you have vegetarians, vegans, gluten-free guests, and people who eat halal · zabiha-sourced — and the catering either accounts for them quietly or embarrasses the host in front of clients. We map dietary needs against your headcount in advance, label every dish on the line, and plate the alternative tracks to match the main service so no one is handed a sad substitute while the table watches.

The part procurement and office managers actually lose sleep over is the paperwork, and we make it boring on purpose. Per-head itemized invoicing, splits by department or cost center, allergen sheets per dish, COIs on file, and net-30 terms for established accounts — the documentation your finance and facilities teams ask for, ready before the event rather than chased after it. Recurring office lunch is its own program, and we run that too, on one invoice with a headcount that flexes week to week.

Why Carthage

Why Carthage for corporate

What you get with us for corporate specifically — not a generic catering pitch.

  • On-time to the window, every time

    We build to your run-of-show — a working lunch that plates and clears inside a thirty-minute break is rehearsed against the agenda before the day, so the food never collides with the meeting.

  • Dietary needs mapped to the headcount

    Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and halal · zabiha-sourced tracks are planned against your guest list in advance and plated to match the main line — no one gets singled out.

  • Per-head invoicing, split how finance needs

    Itemized invoices by department or cost center, allergen sheets per dish, COIs on file, and net-30 terms for established accounts — the documentation your finance team asks for, ready before the event.

  • Boardroom-discreet service

    Captains and service staff are briefed on silent-service protocol for executive dinners and sensitive meetings, and are comfortable signing NDAs when the room requires it.

Questions

Before you ask

Can you serve lunch inside a 30-minute window?
Yes — composed lunches plate in under twelve minutes and clear in eight. We rehearse the window against your agenda before the day.
Do you sign NDAs for sensitive meetings?
Routinely. Our captains and service staff are NDA-comfortable and briefed on silent-service protocol for boardrooms.
Can you invoice per department or cost center?
Yes — itemized invoices split by cost center, with per-head detail, on net-30 terms for established accounts.
What lead time do you need for a corporate event?
One to four weeks is typical, and established accounts can add service days faster. For launches and summits with custom menus or large headcounts, the earlier you reach out, the more we can tailor.
Do you cater offices across LA and Orange County?
Yes — we deliver to offices, venues, and event spaces across Los Angeles and Orange County, and plan delivery windows around your building access and your agenda.
Can you run a recurring office lunch program?
Yes — recurring office lunch runs as its own program on a weekly rotation, one consolidated invoice, with a headcount that flexes week to week and dietary tracks held standing for your team.
