When you're feeding a crowd, every headcount matters—and so does every dollar. Whether you're managing a department-wide celebration, a training seminar, or a community event, the challenge is the same: serve good food, keep guests happy, and stay within budget. That’s where CaterCo steps in with smart, satisfying meals that go the distance.
Our Buffet Catering, Drop-Off Trays, and Bento Boxes are all portion-balanced, halal-certified, and designed to deliver maximum flavour—without stretching your resources thin.
Great Food Doesn’t Have to Mean Overspending
💡 The secret? Variety, smart planning, and format flexibility.
You don’t need expensive dishes or fancy plating to create a memorable meal. What you need is:
- High-yield mains (think rice, noodles, or pasta)
- Flavour-forward proteins that don’t rely on heavy sauces
- Crowd-pleasing sides and vegetables to round out the meal
- Modular add-ons like drinks or desserts, only if you need them
With CaterCo, we help you tailor the perfect combination so you can stay within budget and impress your guests.

Best Formats for Feeding More with Less
Buffet Catering
Ideal for feeding large teams. Choose 2–3 mains and sides to create a generous spread that keeps everyone full. We portion based on pax and help reduce waste.
Drop-Off Trays
Simplify setup without cutting quality. Each tray serves multiple guests, and we help you mix and match to get the most value per head.
Bento Meals
Great for maintaining portion control and keeping costs predictable. Each meal is a full set: protein, carb, veggie, and dessert—cleanly packed and easy to distribute.

- Government departments with capped budgets
- Companies celebrating milestones without overspending
- Community centres and religious organisations
- HR teams planning appreciation lunches
