Finance approves one total, but a catering invoice stacks a service charge, tax and delivery on top of the food. Enter your numbers to see what each attendee's share really buys before you start comparing menus.

Compare caterer quotes against the food line, since a menu priced per person is quoted before fees.
California generally taxes a mandatory service charge along with the food, so this check taxes both.
Tax rates differ from one LA County city to the next. Copy the rate from a recent receipt or quote if 10.25% does not match.

Corporate caterers in Los Angeles

Marbled LA
Best for: recurring office lunches and meetings
This guide is published by MEDZ, which owns Marbled LA.
Area: Glendale
Corporate and office catering
Meetings and trainings
Drop-off catering
Corporate orders from a Glendale kitchen, with dietary labels and written quotes that list the food, tax, delivery and any service fee.
On the corporate side, Marbled LA handles meetings, trainings, all-hands and recurring office lunches across Los Angeles. Invoices can carry a PO number or go to a billing contact, whichever accounts payable needs, and anyone with a serious allergy can get an individual meal packed with their name on it.
Office counts move. Order for confirmed attendees plus about 10 percent for walk-ins, then trim that buffer on recurring lunches once the pattern is clear. Get each caterer's cutoff for changes in writing before you sign. On a weekly program, tell them what came back uneaten. Nothing stops you paying for wasted food faster.
At an office lunch there is often no server to ask, so the labels have to answer the questions. Send your team's dietary list with every order: allergies, vegetarian and vegan, gluten free, any religious requirements. For anyone with a serious allergy, ask whether the caterer can pack an individual meal with that person's name on it.
Your building is part of the order
In a downtown or Century City tower, a noon lunch can hinge on a 10:30 dock slot. Many high-rises want a certificate of insurance naming the building's management on file before a caterer's first delivery, a freight elevator booked ahead, and the driver checked in at security. On the Westside the problem is curb space: Santa Monica and Playa Vista streets leave a van few places to stop at midday.
So send the suite number, an on-site contact with a cell phone, and the building's delivery rules with the first order. Aim for food set up by 11:30.
Compare quotes line by line
Ask for a written quote that lists food, tax, delivery and any service fee, so whoever approves it sees the full number. If accounts payable needs a purchase order number, a billing contact or one invoice per department, say so before the first order and check that the caterer can match it.
Match the format to the meeting
Boxed meals for trainings and working sessions where people eat at their seats. Buffets for team lunches and all-hands. Breakfasts, afternoon snacks and client-facing lunches each want their own timing and presentation, and a good caterer asks what the meeting is before sending a menu.
What it costs in Los Angeles
Meeting format moves a corporate catering bill more than cuisine does. Boxed lunches for a training and a staffed buffet for an all-hands are different price brackets. These are per-person figures for the food, before delivery, service charge and tax.
What LA companies typically pay per person
What
Typical range
Continental or hot breakfast
$12 to $28 per person
Boxed lunch
$18 to $35 per box
Drop-off lunch buffet
$22 to $45 per person
Staffed event buffet or stations
$60 to $130 per person
Service charge at many caterers
18 to 22 percent
Delivery fees in Los Angeles commonly run from about $25 to $200 depending on distance and building access, and some caterers waive them above a set order size. Loading dock and parking time in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood or Santa Monica can add a surcharge. Sales tax applies to the food and to any required service charge.
Marbled LA starts corporate orders at $22 per person for breakfast and $24 per person for a Menu 1 lunch, then adds $2.50 per person for disposables, delivery from $150 per drop and a 15 percent service charge.
Tips
Budget roughly 25 to 30 percent above the food subtotal for delivery, service charge and tax, and compare caterers on the number your approver will actually see.
Signing up for a year of weekly lunches? First ask whether a standing order lowers the delivery fee or the per-person price.
These are typical Los Angeles market ranges drawn from public price lists and cost guides, not quotes. Every caterer prices its own menus, so ask each one for a written quote.
Less than you might fear for a small lunch and more than you would like for a conference. A few days often covers a team lunch. For an offsite or an all-day event, several weeks is safer. Add a day or two if your building needs the caterer's insurance certificate on file first.
What should we tell a caterer about dietary needs?
Allergies, vegetarian and vegan counts, gluten free, and any religious requirements, with names for anyone who needs an individual meal. Keep the list on file and send it with each order.
Who should meet the caterer when lunch is delivered?
One named person, plus a backup who is not in the meeting. Security desks in larger buildings often will not send a driver up without a name and suite number, and a delivery with nobody to call tends to sit in the lobby.
Can corporate caterers invoice our company?
Many can. Tell the caterer what accounts payable needs, such as a PO number or a billing contact, before the first order, and confirm they can set the invoice up to match.
