Vegan catering in Denver: common questions
Which caterers in Denver deliver without staff?
1 of the 9 caterers listed in Denver offer drop-off catering, where food arrives hot in disposable chafers with serving utensils and the caterer leaves. It is the cheapest way to feed a group and needs no gratuity or staffing charge. Filter the results on this page by “Drop-off” to see only those companies.
Can caterers in Denver handle dietary restrictions?
Yes. Of the caterers listed here, 3 offer vegan menus and 2 offer gluten-free menus. Give final allergy and dietary counts at least two weeks before the event. For a guest with celiac disease, ask specifically about separate prep surfaces and utensils rather than just gluten-free ingredients, and for strict kosher or halal observance ask which certifying body the kitchen works under.
How far in advance should I book a caterer in Denver?
For an office lunch or small drop-off order in Denver, CO, 1 to 2 weeks is usually enough. For a large corporate event allow 2 to 3 months, and for a wedding allow 9 to 12 months, since the best caterers in any metro book their Saturday dates first. December and the May-June graduation window are the hardest times of year to book late. Many caterers will take rush orders inside 72 hours for a fee, and repast catering is routinely arranged in under 48 hours.
How much does catering cost per person?
Nationally, drop-off trays and boxed meals commonly run about $15 to $30 per person, a buffet with setup about $25 to $55 per person, and a full-service event with staff and plated or stationed food about $50 to $150 per person or more. The three things that move the number most are service style, protein choice and guest count. Drop-off is cheaper than full service because there is no staffing, rentals or gratuity. Below roughly 40 guests, most caterers charge a flat minimum instead of a per-head rate.
What is the difference between drop-off and full-service catering?
Drop-off means the food is delivered hot in disposable chafing dishes with serving utensils, and the caterer leaves. You handle setup, refills and cleanup. Full-service means the caterer arrives early, sets up, cooks or finishes on site, staffs the event with servers, provides china and linens, and cleans up afterwards. Full service usually adds 20-30% on top of the food cost for labor, plus rentals.
