Why
should you trust us?
CateringUnlimited.com is
the dominant motion and still picture caterer on the Central
Coast of California ( Ventura to Monterey ). We have a
proven "track record" of providing dependable location
catering to the motion picture and television industries.
Management and staff are professional,
courteous, ready, willing and able to "roll
with the punches" with a "can-do' attitude. We
specialize in high quality on-time location cuisine. We
are skilled in accommodating last minute changes,
special requests and circumstances in a fast, service-oriented
manner. We also handle extreme locations and inclement
weather. |
|
We bring our extensive experience
to bear when collaborating with you on menu planning
to meet your needs over multi-day or prolonged
shoots. We cater to your special dietary
needs, including "Atkins", vegetarian,
vegan, low sodium, low fat/cholesterol free, "Zone",
macrobiotic or other diets upon request.
We have
a large commercial kitchen as well as the capacity to
set up "field restaurants" complete
our EZUP tents, tables, chairs, BBQ's, china and polished
silverware. |
What should
you expect?
Every production
has unique needs. However in general, location
menus are discussed and planned in advance as possible. For
lengthy shoots, our catering team often create
menus with in set guidelines and with direction
from your production team. Typically, a "head
count" is given in advance (the night beforte)
by the production team to our owner. Many
times, the actual number served exceeds the "head
count". It makes sense
to have a Production Assistant watch food lines
to ensure that only cast and crew are permitted
(if appropriate). Additionally, put a notice
on the daily call sheet that all guests must be approved
by production. |
Average meals typically range
in price between $11 (Breakfast)-$25 (Dinner) per
person, Chefs and Equipment "on location" fee
between $100 - $350 per day with an 18 % Service
Charge and 7.25 % sales tax. The terms for
catering location shoots are 50% down payment due
before production begins with the balance due on
the final day of shooting. For long term
engagements a payment schedule is created. Our
pricing is competitive and our product is consistent. |
What's
the Bottom Line?
 |
Your production
cannot afford the potential disruption of an ill-prepared
inexperienced caterer… they are everywhere. In
the field, "time is money" and food which
is not ready when you need it will result in ‘000's
of dollars in additional expenses. On remote
shoots, food is essential to morale. Exceptional
hot food served when required makes for a happy
and productive crew and cast. |

business and do not take it for granted. Please contact
