The Ultimate Pre-Year-End Checklist for Corporate Catering

December is packed with celebrations, reviews, and wrap-ups—but smart organisers start preparing long before the month begins. If you’re planning a festive lunch, an appreciation meal, or a thank-you treat for staff and clients, November is the perfect time to lock in your plans before slots fill up.

At CaterCo, we help companies across Singapore end the year with flavour and finesse. From Buffet Catering and Drop-Off Meals to Thematic Setups and Personal Feast Boxes, we’ve made year-end events smooth, stylish, and stress-free.

Why It Pays to Plan Early

📆 The best meals go to the early birds.
December is peak catering season, and last-minute bookings often face:

  • Limited menu options
  • Unavailable delivery times
  • Difficulty sourcing festive desserts or themes
  • Higher stress and reduced flexibility

By planning in November, you gain full access to CaterCo’s premium menus, custom setups, and delivery slots tailored to your event’s flow.
