Industries / Catering & Food Service

When the delivery window is the event.

A catering order that arrives 40 minutes late isn't a minor delay — it's a ruined event. We build routes around fixed delivery times, not a rough estimate.

When the delivery window is part of the event

A late delivery is never just a delay when it's a catered lunch. The meeting starts at noon, the guests are seated, and the food is either there or it isn't. Catering runs on fixed times, with no room for "sometime between one and four."

That puts different demands on a courier: routes planned backwards from the serve time, trays kept level, and a dispatcher you can actually reach on the day. We build catering routes around the hour your client was promised, with a buffer for traffic and parking, so you can make that promise with confidence.

What caterers need from a courier

Fixed delivery windowsBooked to arrive at a set time, not "sometime this afternoon."
Careful handlingTrays and platters kept level — drivers briefed on food-safe handling.
Recurring routesStanding corporate lunch or event-day routes booked once, run every time.
Event-day reliabilityReal accountability, not a gig-app driver you'll never reach again.

Deliveries we plan around

Corporate lunch drops

Boxed or individual lunches delivered to an office minutes before the meeting starts.

Event and wedding catering

Trays, platters, and equipment delivered to the venue ahead of set-up.

Standing weekly orders

A recurring office breakfast or lunch delivered on the same day and time every week.

Multi-drop days

Several orders for different clients in one run, timed so each arrives when it was promised.

Desserts, cakes, and bakery orders

Delicate items carried level and treated as the centrepiece they are.

Equipment and leftover pickups

Chafing dishes, platters, and rentals collected after the event and returned to you.

How it works

Share the serve time

Give us the time the food needs to be on the table, plus the address and any access notes.

We plan backwards

We work out the departure from your kitchen with a buffer for traffic, parking, and the walk to the door.

Careful loading

Trays are loaded level and secured for the ride.

Delivered and confirmed

The order is handed over at the venue and you're told it arrived.

Questions to ask any courier

Whoever you choose, these are worth asking before you commit.

  • Will the driver arrive at the time I give them, or within a wide window?
  • How are trays and platters kept level in the vehicle?
  • If an order has to stay hot or cold, what can you do, and what do I need to prepare on my end?
  • Who do I call on event day if the address changes or the loading area is hard to find?
  • Can I book a standing weekly delivery, and what happens on weeks I need to change it?

Frequently asked questions

Tell us what the order needs when you request a quote — hot, cold, or ambient — and we'll confirm what's possible for the route and distance. Food that needs a specific temperature is normally packed in insulated carriers by the kitchen; we'll plan the timing so the trip is as short as it can be.

For one-off events, as early as you can: the date and serve time are all we need to start. For standing weekly orders, we set up the schedule once and it runs until you change it.

Our job is delivery to the door or the agreed drop point. If your event needs more than that, such as set-up, display, or staff on site, tell us in your request and we'll say what we can and can't do.

Send the update as soon as you have it. On the day, the dispatcher is who you call, and the route can usually be adjusted if we hear early enough.
