Minimum Catering Order

Corporate Gourmet is available to take catering orders from a minimum of 10 guests upwards. We have no restrictions on order volume over this amount and are happy to accommodate for all events, large or small!

Guest Guarantees

An estimate of the number of guests anticipated to attend your event must be provided at the time of your catering inquiry. A final guarantee of attendance is due, in writing, 5 business days prior to your function. Head count increases to this final guarantee are honored when possible, although may incur additional charges.

5 days prior to your function, the guest attendance number may not be reduced! If a guaranteed head count is not received by the due date, the estimated guest head count becomes the “final guarantee” and is the basis for calculating your bill, regardless of low turnout or last minute cancellations.

Please note: Should the number of guests served at your event exceed the “final guarantee”, billing will be based on the actual number of guests served.

Food Left from Catered Events

When making the necessary culinary preparations for your event, our chef’s thoroughly plan out food portion allocation based on a per head basis to ensure that there is minimal food wastage leftover on the day! Corporate Gourmet takes the responsibility of safe food handling seriously to ensure that none of our guests are susceptible to food borne illnesses and therefore food ordered but not consumed at any catered function arranged through Corporate Gourmet may not be removed from the function site. This policy is standard in the catering industry and is enforced for your own health & safety!

On those rare occasions however when the leftover food is of a substantial quantity, Corporate Gourmet will endeavor to donate those leftovers to Food Bank Japan in a safe & hygienic manner.
