What does corporate catering cost per person in Dubai?

From AED 140 per head on the Classic package, AED 180 on Premium and AED 210 on Luxury. Add AED 500 transport, AED 150 per waiter (one per 20 guests, minimum two) and 5% VAT. Minimum order is AED 2,500 and minimum headcount is 20.

Can you handle recurring office catering?

Yes. Recurring office meals are one of our standard formats, delivered on a fixed schedule from the HACCP production facility. Volume and frequency are agreed up front so the rate is stable rather than quoted event by event.

Do you cater conferences and exhibitions?

Yes, including full-day delegate catering and stand catering. Across the group we have worked at Etihad Arena and the major UAE hotel and conference venues.

Are your kitchens certified?

Our kitchens are HACCP certified and production runs through a 6,500 sq ft HACCP facility with full traceability. Certification documents can be provided for vendor onboarding.

How do we get a quote we can put through procurement?

Build the menu on our booking page. You get an itemised quote, with food, staff, transport and VAT separated, using the same pricing our team uses, before anyone calls you.

What are your payment terms?

Full payment in advance confirms the booking, by bank transfer. Quotes are valid for 14 days. Refunds on cancellation are considered case by case, and nothing is refunded within 48 hours of the event.

Corporate catering in Dubai.

Board lunches, product launches, conferences and the recurring office meals your facilities team can set a calendar by.

Corporate catering fails on logistics far more often than on food. Cater Inc. runs it as an operations problem: a HACCP-certified production facility, a 250-strong team of chefs, planners and service staff, and a quote that itemises every line so procurement can approve it without a phone call.

For recurring office meals that reliability is the product. For a launch or a conference, it is the reason the food arrives hot and on the minute your programme says.

Dietary

A team is never one diet.

Vegetarian, Jain with no onion, garlic or root, vegan and allergen-aware menus are cooked on a separate line rather than picked around. Dietary marking on the service line is by text label as well as colour, so nobody has to ask.

Menus span classic and modern Indian, Chinese, Thai, sushi, pan-Asian and continental-friendly options, which covers most mixed offices in Dubai without running two caterers.
