What Comes With a Catering Order, and What Costs Extra

The Short Answer

Every Curry Up Now catering order comes with serving spoons, utensils and napkins, and the food arrives hot in covered trays, ready to set on a table. Chafing dishes, plates, setup, live stations and staffed stations cost extra. Tax and gratuity are not included.

Included

• Serving spoons for every tray.
• Utensils and napkins.
• Covered trays, delivered hot.
• Labels on vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free dishes, and on individual boxes.
• Chutneys with the samosas and street food.

Available for an Added Fee

• Chafing dishes, to hold food hot over a long service.
• Plates.
• Setup at your venue.
• A live food station or the food truck, cooked on site, for 50 guests or more.
• Staffed stations.

Ordering Off the Regular Menu

Serving ware, utensils and napkins come with every catering order. On a regular online order they are not added automatically: choose them at checkout, or they will not be in the bag.

When You Need the Extras

For a lunch that is eaten within an hour of delivery, covered trays are enough. For a buffet that runs two hours or more, add chafing dishes. For a wedding or a client event where nobody on your team should be serving, add setup and a staffed station. Ask when you book, so the quote includes it.

The Three Ways to Order

• Individual boxes. One labeled meal per guest, chosen ahead. From $15 per person for 15 to 50 guests, $200 minimum.
• Party packages and the Biryani Buffet. Shared entrées, rice, naan, starters and chutneys in covered trays. $300 minimum.
• A la carte trays. Add two or three dishes to what you already have. No minimum.
