Corporate Catering in Fort Lauderdale for Offices, Meetings and Company Events
Miami Plate Catering delivers corporate catering to offices in Fort Lauderdale and across Broward County. Office lunches start at $15 a guest for 10 guests or more, ordered 24 hours ahead. Each portion arrives labeled, we lay out the food and clean up after ourselves, and delivery depends on your address and appears in your quote. Business lunch catering in Fort Lauderdale follows the same terms: 10 guests minimum, 24 hours ahead, and a quote that lists every charge.
- 01
Team meetings and training days.
Each guest gets an individually labeled portion, and the labels name the dish.
- 02
Client lunches.
We lay out the food before your guests arrive and clean up afterward, which leaves you free to host.
- 03
Office celebrations.
Anniversaries and team wins can be catered with trays, which you serve yourselves, or with staff from 25 guests.
- 04
Company events and larger gatherings.
Events with our own staff are planned four to eight weeks ahead, and the coordinator confirms the plan in your quote.
The five questions cover the occasion, guest count, date, area and your budget per guest. We have a fully vegan menu, so mention vegan colleagues in your request.

How Far Ahead to Order Corporate Catering in Fort Lauderdale
Pick the format by how soon you need the food. Each row below shows how far ahead to order and what the minimum is. Office lunches take 24 hours, trays take 48 hours and events with staff take four to eight weeks. The table puts the three windows side by side.
| Order ahead | Format | From | Minimum |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24 hours | Office lunch delivered, with setup and cleanup | $15 a guest | 10 guests |
| 48 hours | Trays for meetings or a break room | $65 to $95 a tray | 2 trays |
| 4 to 8 weeks | Company event with our staff (under 50 guests, add $10 a guest) | $45 a guest | 25 guests |
Brunch and breakfast with staff start at $30 a guest for 20 guests, a good fit for a morning meeting or a company breakfast.
Events with staff carry a mandatory service charge of 18% up to 100 guests, then 15%, 12% and 10% as the group grows. It covers staff, setup and breakdown and kitchen operations, and it is not a tip. Broward sales tax is 7%, Florida's 6% plus the county's 1%, and it sits on its own line.

How Repeat Corporate Orders Work in Fort Lauderdale
A company that orders more than once gets one monthly invoice instead of one payment per lunch. The steps below show how a repeat account runs after the first order. They matter most to an office manager who books lunches every week.
- 1The first order follows your quote.The quote lists the menu, the price per guest, any service charge, Broward tax and the total, and you pay as the quote says. A coordinator replies within an hour during business hours, and the full quote follows within 24 hours.
- 2One invoice a month, payable in 30 days.After the first order, the month's lunches go on a single invoice, and you have 30 days to pay it.
- 3A dedicated manager.One person handles your account, so questions about the next lunch go to the same place.
Each repeat order is quoted by guest count and date, so a small team lunch and a large Friday order can sit on the same monthly invoice.
