It’s the start of December and your inbox is overflowing—but somewhere between budget approvals and meeting invites, you realise you haven’t planned the team celebration. Or the client gift lunch. Or that one cross-department gathering. The good news? It’s not too late. With CaterCo, last-minute catering doesn’t mean compromising on quality, presentation, or professionalism.
We offer flexible, fast-turnaround formats like Bento Catering, Drop-Off Trays, and Personal Feast Sets that deliver rich flavour, elegant presentation, and reliable punctuality—even when time is tight.

FAQs for Last-Minute Catering
How fast can I get catering?
We recommend 2–3 days’ notice, but same-week delivery is possible depending on availability and format.
Is Thematic Setup available last-minute?
For full styling, we recommend 5 days’ notice. But for small styling touches (festive props or special tableware), we may be able to accommodate.
Can I split delivery for different groups?
Yes. We frequently deliver to multiple teams, floors, or even addresses. Just include details during your quote request.
What if my team is partially remote?
Send bentos or Personal Feasts to remote team members while feeding in-office staff with trays or buffets.
Festive Doesn’t Have to Mean Frantic
Even in the busiest month of the year, CaterCo helps you show appreciation with meals that are warm, timely, and well thought out. So if December snuck up on you, don’t worry—your food won’t feel like an afterthought.
