Welcome to “Do it yourself on set catering” a service that allows you to provide the best highest quality meal program for your cast and crew at the lowest cost.
The following will explain to you how it works.

This service is designed for small budget projects who need to feed up to 20 people (most days of production) at the most minimal cost. You will ultimately utilize a PA to handle food and craft services which allows you to bypass the normal catering fees charged for a provider worker to do the job.

Here’s how it works – First and foremost if your production day is happening in a location that does not provide you with a kitchen space that does provide a microwave, coffee maker, and refrigeration. We will provide you with a microwave, coffee maker, and one large cooler to maintain your food (We recommend that you expense a large cooler to the production cost that will allow you to maintain/chill milk, yogurts, juice, and bottled waters that are part of your craft services package. The cooler we provide is for food.)

There will be a designated time for a member of your team to come to the pick up location in the morning and receive your days worth of food. The food will come double bagged and packed in the aluminum service dish that it needs to be served in and labeled with the name of the dish and if there are any allergy notification the PA needs to be aware of for that food item.

On the first day of delivery this will also include your chafing dishes, sterno heaters, serving utensils, plates/cups/napkins/cutlery, microwave, coffeemaker, and cooler for you to maintain till the final day of production. As well as a detailed sheet that explains how to properly reheat the food before each meal period.

The breakfast will be ready to serve while the lunch/dinner food will need to be heated. It will normally take 30 minutes to reheat all of the food items followed by 30 minutes in the chafing dish to bring it to full heat. You need to schedule for at least 1 hour of time for a full reheat tho ready to serve for 1 person to complete. If you have more than one person handling food you can make this happen in roughly 45 mins or 1 hour for one person.
