At Curry Up Now, book 24 hours ahead for under 50 guests. Same day is sometimes possible for smaller orders, but 24 hours is better. 50 guests or more, live food stations and the food truck need two to three days. A wedding weekend needs two to four weeks.
Three things add time: a headcount that keeps moving, a delivery window during the lunch rush, and a request for staffed service. Lock the headcount early, give a delivery window rather than a single minute, and say up front if you want chafing dishes, plates or setup, which cost extra.
A deposit holds the date, with the balance due before the event. For a recurring weekly lunch, set it up once with catering@curryupnow.com and it repeats without rebooking.
