Sacramento, Stockton, Fresno, and Bakersfield are useful starting points when requesting service. Long distances between regions mean we must check the exact date and address before confirming.

Menu, guest count, and event budget
California: $60 per adult, $30 per child ages 3–13; children under 3 are free. The minimum food order is $600. Travel fees and applicable tax are additional. Each standard adult meal includes a choice of two proteins unless the three-protein price applies. Menu choices include chicken, steak, shrimp, salmon, and tofu; scallops and filet mignon are +$5 each, and lobster is +$10. Extra protein is $10; noodles are $5 per person; edamame is $5; and gyoza is $10 for six pieces. Confirm current choices on the menu and pricing page.
To estimate a group total, count adults and children separately, note upgrades and add-ons, then ask us to confirm travel and tax for your exact location. We apply the food minimum before travel and tax. The final quote depends on the confirmed headcount and selections.
Prepare the cooking area and guest setup
Choose a level, open, safe cooking location with enough room for the grill and chef. Hosts provide tables, chairs, plates, forks, napkins, and drinks. Tell us about parking, gates, stairs, elevators, venue access, and any propane or open-flame rules. For rentals, confirm the host permits the grill before booking. Share food allergies and dietary needs in advance so we can discuss the menu and handling plan.
Outdoor cooking is the usual setup. If rain is possible, identify a covered outdoor backup that is allowed by the property. Indoor or enclosed spaces require advance review for ventilation, clearance, and venue approval; an enclosed garage is not automatically suitable. Read how the service works for a fuller preparation checklist.
Booking steps

- Once the date is confirmed, choose proteins and add-ons, then send final guest and menu details at least five days before the event.
