Catering · Kitchen by Bon Appetit Grill
Food cooked here,
twenty feet from your table.
Most event venues do not have a kitchen. They have a warming cabinet and a list of caterers who will drive your dinner across Orlando and charge you a delivery fee for the privilege. We have a full commercial kitchen and years of cooking Haitian and Caribbean food for this city.

- Pikliz and dinner rolls
- Chafing dishes and serving equipment
- Plates, flatware, glassware and napkins
- Full setup before and complete breakdown after
- Professional staff for up to three hours
Compare the real total
Our number looks higher. Then you add theirs up.
Orlando caterers advertise from around $25 a head. That is a buffet dropped at your door. Here is what a hundred guests actually costs once the fees land, using a typical competitor's own published rates.
| For 100 guests | Typical caterer, $35 tier | The Edgewater Room, Lakay |
|---|---|---|
| Food, 100 guests | $35 × 100 = $3,500 | $50 × 100 = $5,000 |
| Service fee, 18% | + $630 | Included in the terms below |
| Delivery, 12 to 20% | + $420 to $700 | None. The kitchen is in the building. |
| Staffed setup and breakdown | Not included | Included, three hours |
| Bartender, four hours | + $300 | + $300 |
| Realistic total | $4,850 to $5,130 | about $5,300 |
Roughly the same money. The difference is what arrives. Ours is scratch-cooked Haitian and Caribbean food with braises that run twelve hours, served hot by our own staff, in a room twenty feet from the kitchen that made it.

The fine print, in front

- On all five catering packages. Under fifty guests, ask about à la carte and drop-off.
- Service fee, 18%
- Covers professional staff for up to three hours, full setup and complete breakdown.
- Sales tax, 6.5%
- Orange County. Applied to the total.
- Extra dishes
- $5 per person for each additional item beyond your package.
- Delivery
- No fee for events held here. Off-site catering is 12 to 20% by distance.
- Headcount and menu
- Menu locks 14 days before. Final headcount locks 7 days before.
Working to a tighter number?
Buffet drop-off, $32 a person.
Hot buffet delivered and set in the room. No servers, no breakdown, no service fee. Fifty-guest minimum. It is the honest option when the budget matters more than the service, and it is the same food.
