Catering Policies

COVID-19

As restrictions are slowly eased, our full menu will be returning. As a result, any item available on our full menu can be individually packaged if requested. By default, food will be sent buffet/family style.

Delivery Hours

We deliver 5 days per week, Monday through Friday. Minimum orders of $1500 apply on Saturdays. Minimum orders of $2500 apply on Sundays. Our standard delivery fees apply on weekends. Any lunch orders to Burnaby or UBC on Monday to Friday must be delivered prior to 11:00am due to business levels in the Downtown core over the period of 11am-12:30pm.

Ordering Hours

Orders are accepted 24 hours, 7 days a week via our online portal. We are also available to take orders via email at info@potluckcatering.com and via telephone at 604-609-7368 from 8:30am-4:30pm, Monday-Fridays (excluding statutory holidays).

Online Ordering

For your convenience, customers may order online using the login panel on the right side of this webpage at anytime. For new clients, you will need to set up a client profile before placing an online order. All orders placed online require confirmation before they will be accepted; confirmation of online orders will only occur Monday to Friday, between 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. This is important to note if you have placed an order outside of regular business hours or over the weekend. A credit card will be required to secure your order, but if you wish to pay via EFT or e-transfer, you may do so by making a note while placing your order.

Delivery Fees

Our delivery fees vary according to location and time. Our standard delivery fee is $35 within the Vancouver and Burnaby area during regular business hours. We no longer deliver to areas outside of Vancouver or Burnaby, with the exception of large events over $3000.

Pick Up Service

We will make arrangements to pick up catering equipment within 2 business days of your delivery free of charge. If you require a same day pick up service during regular business hours, a $35 fee applies. If you require an after-hours same day pickup up until 8pm, a $100 fee applies.

*Please let us know in advance if special arrangements are required to pick up the equipment. If no one is on site to meet us and multiple trips are required to retrieve the equipment, charges will be applied. Charges will also be applied for any missing or broken items.

Paper Service

Our deliveries include disposable paper supplies for a small fee (eg; plates, napkins and cutlery); All of our paper supplies are made from recycled materials and are 100% biodegradable. These items are available BY REQUEST ONLY.

Minimum Orders
