Chafing dishes in seven finishes. Delivered and collected, or available for pickup. Booked for weddings and repasses, Thanksgiving and Christmas at home, holiday and corporate parties, graduations, and anywhere a buffet has to stay hot for a few hours.
Seven finishes. Tell us which one when you book and we'll pull them so your whole line matches.
Black and gold marble is rectangular only. Cherry red and white dome are round only. White rounds carry a roll top lid rather than the hydraulic hinge. Gold, stainless, matte black and white run eight to ten units each, so if you want a long line all matching, start there.
That's what hydraulic means, and it's the difference between a buffet that stays clean and one where every lid is leaning against a wall or sitting in somebody's hand.
Lift it, let go, it stays. Your server can hold a pan in one hand and serve with the other. Nobody is looking for somewhere to set a hot lid down in the middle of a line.
One chafer, one hot dish. Here's what we usually send.
Pick-up prices are the equipment only. Any mix of rectangular and round; they sit on a line together just fine. Setup is $50 if you'd rather not fill the water pans yourself. Add insulated hot boxes at $55 each for holding your backup food.
If your event is at a venue, we collect the same night. Most venues need the room cleared before they lock up, so we work to their schedule and it's already included in the delivered price.
If it's at your house, keep them overnight and we'll come the next day. Or we'll take them the same night. Your choice, same price either way.
Pick up from us, bring them back the next day. Nothing added to your total.
Dropped at the spot you tell us, kitchen or service area, and collected after. If you're at a venue we come back the same night and that's included. Priced by how far we're driving, not a flat fee.
We deliver across Atlanta, Marietta, Roswell, Alpharetta, Woodstock, Lawrenceville, Austell, Morrow, Stockbridge, Fayetteville and Peachtree City. Further out, you're welcome to pick up. And if you're booking staff with us, the equipment rides along with the crew at no delivery charge, as long as it fits in the load.
One chafer, one hot dish. That's the whole rule. Four chafers hold four dishes, six hold six.
Rectangulars take two half pans, so if you've got something that works as a pair you can run two dishes in one chafer and stretch a smaller order further. What goes in which pan is your call.
Not sure? Send us your menu. We've spent twenty years in food and beverage operations, and we'll tell you in about two minutes, whether you rent from us or not.
One chafer per hot dish. Four chafers hold four dishes, six hold six. Rectangulars take two half pans if you'd rather run two dishes in one, and what goes in which pan is your call. Send us your menu and we'll count it for you.
It's priced by drive time. Under 20 minutes is $55, 20 to 40 minutes is $85, 40 to 60 minutes is $115. Pickup is free. Setup, which is placing them on the line, filling the water pans and lighting the sterno, is $50.
Yes, and it's become one of the most common things people ask us for. A lot of couples want food from the restaurant they love, and that restaurant doesn't deliver. We'll collect the order and bring it to your venue, held at temperature the whole way. This one is quoted, because it depends on how far the restaurant is, how many pans we're moving, and whether the load needs a truck. Tell us where the food is coming from and roughly how much of it there is, and we'll price it the same day.
It's the hinge. The lid lifts and holds its position instead of coming off in your hands and needing somewhere to go. On a crowded buffet table that matters more than it sounds like it should. There's a video of it further up this page. The one exception is the white rounds, which have a roll top lid.
Sterno is separate and it isn't optional. Two per rectangular, one per round. Running out halfway through service is the one thing everybody remembers.
Yes. Cleaned, checked and ready to go straight onto the table. We ask that they come back the same way. If they don't, there's a $50 cleaning fee.
Delivery is a drop at the spot you tell us. Setup is $50 and that's the part where we place them on the line, fill the water pans, set your food pans and light the sterno. Most people doing a venue event add it.
Two weeks is comfortable. Saturdays from October through December go fast. If it's last minute, call anyway. Sometimes we have them.
Chafers keep it hot. They don't set up the line, refill the pans when the first hundred people go through, or break it all down at eleven. If nobody's been assigned that, ask us about staff when you book.
Often, and usually the same week. Call instead of filling out the form and we'll take care of you.
Send your date, your guest count and what you're serving. We'll come back with exactly how many chafers you need, what it costs, and whether you're better off picking up or having us bring them.
Send the dietary restrictions and allergies along with it and we'll print your buffet labels from the same list, so nobody has to ask what's in the pan.
Need us to collect the catering from your favorite restaurant on the way? Say so and we'll quote that too.
