Planning guide

What to compare before you book

Who it is for

Drop-off catering suits office lunches, casual family parties, team meals, community meetings, small celebrations and hosts who can manage serving and cleanup themselves.

Ottawa delivery scenarios

Orders may be delivered to downtown offices, Kanata workplaces, school events, condo party rooms, suburban homes, parks or community halls where timing and clear handoff instructions matter.

Service options

Common drop-off formats include sandwich and salad platters, boxed lunches, hot trays, breakfast boxes, grazing boards, desserts, beverage add-ons and disposable plates or cutlery.

Budget considerations

Drop-off is often less expensive than staffed service, but costs still depend on delivery distance, minimum order size, hot holding needs, packaging, serviceware and any setup requested.

Questions to ask

Ask what time food will arrive, whether setup is included, how hot items are packaged, whether serving utensils are provided, how items are labelled and what happens if delivery access is delayed.

Local planning tips

Give precise delivery instructions, including parking, buzzer codes, floor numbers, security desks and the name of the person receiving the order. For offices, include the meeting start time as well as the desired delivery window.

FAQ

Sometimes. Some caterers place trays on a table, while others hand off packaged food at reception. Confirm the setup scope before booking.
