How much does office catering cost in Austin?

None of the caterers on this list post per-person prices on their own websites, so the number comes from a quote or an online order cart. The fees that are published come from Mandola's: $2.50 per person for plates and cutlery, $15 per disposable chafing dish, and a delivery fee based on location. Texas also taxes the caterer's full charge, including a required delivery fee, so ask for the all-in total.

Which Austin caterers take catering orders online?

Torchy's Tacos takes catering orders online at catering.torchystacos.com, with bagged lunches, taco packs and build-your-own bars. Terry Black's takes online pickup and delivery orders for groups of 20 and under. The Peached Tortilla's express catering is ordered online for groups under 100. Everyone else, including Mandola's, Crave, Contigo and County Line, works from a quote form or email.

How much notice do Austin caterers need?

Terry Black's asks you to order online 24 hours ahead. The Peached Tortilla wants express orders 24 hours in advance. Mandola's asks for 72 hours. Juan in a Million needs a week to reserve its party room and patio. Quote-based caterers like Crave, Contigo and Austin Catering don't post lead times, so reach out early for anything staffed.

Which caterers deliver to Round Rock, Cedar Park and the other suburbs?

Mandola's lists the widest named area: Austin plus Bee Cave, Driftwood, Dripping Springs, Wimberley, Kyle, Buda, Georgetown, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, Lakeway and Lago Vista. Contigo and Micklethwait say they cover Austin and Central Texas, and Crave says greater Austin. The Peached Tortilla has locations on Burnet Road and in Cedar Park.

Do any Austin caterers run recurring office lunch programs?

Two say so. Contigo's sister brand Ocaso serves Austin teams of 100 or more with chef-made lunches and a menu that changes every week, and it handles delivery and setup. Crave Catering describes a daily catering service for executive teams, with individually wrapped meals that can also go out as a lunchroom buffet. Austin Catering's corporate menus include gourmet boxed lunches.

Which Austin caterers handle dietary restrictions?

Crave Catering and Contigo are the two that spell it out. Crave references gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options and lists potential allergens on its food signage. Contigo says vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan needs can be planned into the menu from the start. The Peached Tortilla says its express menu covers a wide range of dietary needs but doesn't name specifics.

How we pick these caterers

This list is alphabetical, not ranked, and no caterer paid to be on it. We look for Austin restaurants and catering companies that publish a real catering menu, handle drop-off or delivery for groups, and come up again and again when local offices talk about who they order from.

Pricing, minimums, lead times and delivery areas come from each caterer's own website and were last checked in October 2026. Of the 14 listed, 0 publish pricing and 4 state a lead time. If a detail is missing, the caterer doesn't publish it. Confirm before you order. Spot something wrong or missing? Email us.

Office catering in Austin: what to expect

Austin's office demand is not spread evenly. CBRE's Q3 2026 numbers put metro office vacancy at 23.6%, but the Southwest submarket sits at 12.3%, Round Rock at 14.6% and Northwest at 17.0%, while the CBD is at 30.1% and East is at 40.1%. Net absorption was still positive, 253,000 square feet for the quarter. So the offices ordering lunch are scattered across the metro, and where a caterer delivers matters. Mandola's lists delivery to Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Leander, Bee Cave and Lakeway. The Peached Tortilla runs out of Burnet Road and Cedar Park. Crave Catering, also on Burnet Road, says it serves greater Austin. Micklethwait and Juan in a Million are both in East Austin, and Contigo and Micklethwait say they cover all of Central Texas.

Here's the honest part. None of the fourteen caterers we could check publish per-person prices on their own websites. Torchy's Tacos, Terry Black's and The Peached Tortilla are the ones you can order from online without a conversation. Terry Black's asks for 24 hours' notice on pickup and delivery orders for groups of 20 and under, and The Peached Tortilla's express catering needs 24 hours and is built for groups under 100. Mandola's wants 72 hours. County Line on the Hill books groups of 25 to 350 through its events coordinator. Crave, Contigo, Austin Catering and Mandola's work from quote forms, and Micklethwait and Garbo's Lobster take catering requests by email. Juan in a Million has a request form and says to call for rates.

A few Austin specifics. Texas taxes a caterer's whole charge, and a delivery fee the caterer requires counts as part of the taxable sale, so ask for the total with tax. Mandola's adds $2.50 per person for plates and cutlery, $15 per disposable chafer, and a delivery fee based on location. The Austin Convention Center closed April 1, 2025 for a rebuild and isn't due back until 2029, so conferences are spread across hotels and the Palmer Events Center. County Line and Contigo lean full service, with staffing and setup. We couldn't verify Juliet Italian Kitchen, Clay Pit or Royal Fig because their sites blocked us or returned errors, so call those three directly.
