Pro Tips
Graduation Party Planning Tips
Make your graduation catering a success with these tips from our events team.
Estimate Portions Generously
Graduation parties tend to have people coming and going. We recommend ordering for about 20% more than your expected headcount to ensure everyone gets plenty to eat.
Mix Proteins and Vegetarian Options
Include both chicken and beef shawarma plus falafel platters. This covers meat lovers, those who prefer lighter options, and vegetarian guests.
Do Not Forget Dessert
Rice pudding and harissa (semolina cake) make an easy graduation party dessert -- shareable, and a change from the standard sheet cake.
Plan Your Pickup or Delivery Time
Schedule your food to arrive 30 minutes before guests are expected to eat. This gives you time to set up the spread while everything is still fresh and warm.
