What Boca Raton Catering Costs for 40, 50, 100 and 200 Guests
Full-service catering in Boca Raton starts at $45 a guest, plus $10 a guest under 50 guests, before the service charge and sales tax. The service charge falls as the guest count grows, and larger events save $2 per guest at each step of 100, 200 and 300+ guests. Here is how each size is priced.
| Guests | Price from, per guest | Service charge | What changes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40 | $45 a guest, plus $10 a guest under 50 guests | 18% | Smallest full-service size is 25 guests |
| 50 | $45, so 50 × $45 = $2,250 before charge and tax | 18% | Weddings start at this size |
| 100 | From $45 a guest, with $2 off per guest at this step | 18% up to 100 guests | Free tasting after booking |
| 200 | From $45 a guest, with $2 off per guest at each step | 15% for 101 to 200 guests | The charge drops to 12% above 200 guests |
The service charge is mandatory on events with staff. It covers staff, setup and breakdown and kitchen operations, and it is not a tip. Boca Raton is in Palm Beach County, where sales tax is 6.5%: Florida's 6% plus the county's 0.5%. Tips are optional and never added automatically.

Three Ways to Order Catering in Boca Raton
We cater Boca Raton events in three formats: delivery without staff, full service with our team, or a wedding or private chef dinner. The format sets your minimum guest count and your price per guest, and the right one depends mostly on whether you want staff on site. Pick the format first, and the quote then lists your menu, price per guest, service charge and tax.
Delivery without staff
Corporate catering for offices starts at $15 a guest, with a 10-guest minimum and 24 hours notice, and set-up and clean-up are included. Trays cost $65 to $95 each, with a two-tray minimum and 48 hours notice. With no staff on site there is no service charge. Delivery depends on your address and is shown in your quote.
Full service with our team
From $45 a guest for 25 guests or more, chefs, cooks and servers handle setup, serving and breakdown, so you can host your own party. Under 50 guests the price adds $10 a guest. Brunch and breakfast with staff start at $30 a guest from 20 guests. For holiday parties the season brings a change: from Thanksgiving through New Year's Day the minimum doubles, see our holiday catering page.
Weddings and private chef dinners
Weddings start at 50 guests, with packages from $75 a guest: Silver is a buffet, Gold adds stations and Platinum is plated service. A private chef cooks for two guests or more from $100 a guest. See wedding catering and private chef dinners.
