Hollywood Catering Menu Styles and Prices per Guest
Hollywood catering menus start at $45 a guest for barbecue, grill, paella and more, and move up to $60 and $78 a guest. The tier sets the price per guest, and your coordinator confirms the dishes for your party in the quote, so you can ask for the style you like and see the details before you book.
| Menu style to ask for | Tier, from per guest | Minimum |
|---|---|---|
| BBQ, grill, paella, arroz campesino | $45 | 25 guests |
| Caribbean, Greek, vegan, crepes | $45 | 25 guests |
| Party menus | $45 | 25 guests |
| Parrillada, Brazilian rodizio | $60 | 25 guests |
| Food truck, holiday menus | $60 | 25 guests |
| Steaks, seafood, cocktail reception | $78 | 25 guests |
Full-service prices are per guest and before the service charge and tax. Under 50 guests, full service adds $10 a guest. The service charge is mandatory for events with staff: 18% up to 100 guests, 15% for 101 to 200, 12% for 201 to 300 and 10% above 300. It covers staff, setup, breakdown and kitchen operations, and it is not a tip. Broward County sales tax is 7%, Florida's 6% plus the county's 1%, and tips are optional. For 50 guests at the base tier, the math reads 50 × $45 = $2,250 + 18% service charge + tax.
