Large Group Catering in Pompano Beach by Guest Count
Large group catering in Pompano Beach starts at 25 guests for full service and at two trays for smaller crowds. The guest count decides the service charge, the $10 surcharge under 50 guests and the volume discount. Prices below are before the service charge and tax.
| Guests | Format | From, before discount | Service charge | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2+ trays | Platters for a small gathering | $65–95 a tray | None, no staff | Order 48 hours ahead. Delivery is priced in your quote |
| 25 to 49 | Full service, base tier | $45 + $10 a guest | 18% | Four hours of service included |
| 50 to 100 | Full service | $45 a guest | 18% | 50 × $45 = $2,250 before charge and tax |
| 101 to 200 | Full service | $45 a guest | 15% | Volume discount applies |
| 201 to 300 | Full service | $45 a guest | 12% | Volume discount applies |
| 300+ | Full service | $45 a guest | 10% | Volume discount applies |
Staffed events carry a mandatory service charge that pays for staff, setup and breakdown and kitchen operations. It is not a tip, and tips stay optional. The volume discount is $2 a guest at each step: 100 to 199, 200 to 299 and 300+ guests. Each extra hour of service beyond the four included is $5 a guest. Sales tax is Broward's 7%, which is Florida's 6% plus the county's 1%, on its own line in your quote. Tasting is free after booking for weddings and events of 100+ guests. The minimum doubles from Thanksgiving through New Year's Day, so ask early about holiday catering.

What to Settle Before a Catered Family Gathering in Pompano Beach
A backyard or patio gathering in Pompano Beach comes down to four decisions before the quote: guests and children, the menu, a group under 25 and the date. The quote comes back within 24 hours with every line priced.
Who Is Coming
Give us the number of guests, and we add 10% more food at no charge. Children up to 3 eat free and ages 4 to 12 pay 50%. Tell your coordinator how many children to expect, and the quote reflects it.
What Goes on the Table
Pick a tier by the food you want. The base tier at $45 a guest covers BBQ, grill, paella, Caribbean, Greek and crepe menus, the middle tier at $60 adds parrillada and rodizio, and the top tier at $78 covers steaks and seafood. A fully vegan menu is available, and the other menus include vegan dishes. The quote lists the dishes you choose.
Smaller Than 25 Guests
A family dinner for ten does not need full service. Trays from $65 to $95 need only two trays and 48 hours of notice, and a private chef cooks for two guests or more.
When to Book
Private gatherings need two to three weeks, and a wedding needs six to twelve months, with the busiest months running from October through May. From Thanksgiving through New Year's Day the minimum doubles, so book early. See wedding catering for packages, or catering in Fort Lauderdale if the event is next door.

How much does catering cost for 50 guests in Pompano Beach?
At the base tier, 50 guests come to 50 × $45 = $2,250, plus an 18% service charge and Broward's 7% sales tax. Under 50 guests, full service adds $10 a guest. The table above shows how the charge changes with the guest count.
How do I order catering for 50 people?

Is it cheaper to cater or buy food myself?
The grocery bill alone is usually lower, because catering also pays for staff, serving and cleanup. For a staffed event, the quote sets the price per guest up front, adds 10% more food than your guest count at no charge and covers setup and cleanup. For a small group, trays carry no service charge.
Do you offer catering near Pompano Beach?
Yes. Broward County is in our service area, so addresses in and around Pompano Beach are covered. Delivery depends on your address and is itemized in your quote.
What sales tax applies to catering in Pompano Beach?
Broward County's rate is 7%: Florida's 6% plus the county's 1%. It appears as its own line in your quote, so you see what the tax adds before you book.
Do kids pay full price for family catering?
No. Children up to 3 eat free, and ages 4 to 12 pay 50%. Tell your coordinator how many children you expect, and the quote reflects it.
