Catering Q & A

Frequently Asked Catering Questions



 

Q: What is Gainesville Restaurants Group (GRG) Catering & what is included?

GRG is a catering solution for small or large groups of people. Our chef-prepared food is from our renowned Gainesville restaurant Joe's Place, as well as other creative dishes. Call us when you’ve planned a working lunch, special luncheon, dinner or cocktail party and we'll deliver the food on time and with impeccable service. We provide disposable chafing pans, plates, napkins and utensils. If you need regular chafing pans, dishes, glasses and cutlery, please ask our catering coordinator to price this full service catering option for you. We also provide complete decoration and linens to create the theme you wish. This option will also entail service staff for set-up and breakdown of your event and incur additional fees.

Q: What sets Gainesville Restaurant Group catering apart from our competition?

The freshness, originality and presentation of our food, and the friendly, expert customer service provide by our chefs, staff and catering coordinators. Our menus offer the best of our restaurants and more-- with choices to please everybody. We make it easy to meet smaller budget needs, as well as meals for any size budget or group. We also offer  great vegetarian options.

Q: How much advance notice is required to place a catering order?

We prefer 48 hours notice, but can do it within 24 hours subject to availability of ingredients. Extra charges will apply. For special orders we ask for 3 to 4 days notice. Orders can be placed with less advance notice, but quantities available may be limited.

Q: When and how do I pay for my catering order?

Payment is usually made ahead of time by credit card over the phone. We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover cards. If you are a non-profit organization or need to set up a monthly account with us, we can bill you on a bi-weekly or monthly cycle. No personal checks are accepted. We are a UF approved vendor!!

Q: Is there a minimum order?

Yes. We have a minimum order of eight (8) people for our catering services. If you have a smaller group, ask about to-go ordering opportunities.

Q: Is there a delivery and setup charge for luncheon catering?

Yes. We have a minimum delivery and setup charge of $50. Full service catering with chafing dishes and service staff has additional fees. Please contact one of our catering coordinators today for a quote.

Q: What's the difference between an office lunch catering order and a phone-in to-go order?

Our catering prices are based on the cost of feeding groups of people (at least 8), setup and delivery, while phone-in orders tend to be last minute ideas for smaller groups, i.e. "Let's get Joe's Place for lunch today" and do not include delivery. Our catering attracts customers who have a need to provide a reliable, delicious food solution for groups of people.

Q: What is the best way to order Gainesville Restaurants Group Catering?

You can contact our Catering coordinators at each restaurant by phone, email to initiate your order.

Q: Why do you price meals per person?

We have found that per-person pricing is an easier way for people to know exactly how much food they are getting. We also specify how much the portion size is for most items you order to ensure you are getting the right amount of food. If you need help placing an order, contact our catering coordinators are glad to help. We'll help you select the right amount of food for the type and size of meeting or occasion you're planning. However, we do provide platter prices for cocktail parties that want appetizers.

Q: What is Gainesville Restaurant Group full service event catering?

Gainesville Restaurants Group is also a catering solution for your full service event needs, such as special luncheons, birthdays or larger parties. Our formal menu includes the best appetizers and entrees from our restaurants with choices to please everybody, and custom food choices as well. Please call our catering coordinator for more information.

Q: Do you offer discounts for non-profit organizations?

Yes. Gainesville Restaurants Group offers 10% back on ALL 501c3 nonprofit orders. We have been serving our Gainesville community since 1994 and are committed to doing so in the future. Please call our catering coordinator for more information.
