We Read Callsheets, Not Just Menus

Production catering is a logistics discipline. Callsheet runs self-contained mobile kitchens — power, water, refrigeration on board — that set up in basecamp parking lots, canyon turnouts, and stage docks without borrowing a single amp from the grid.

Our coordinators work from your callsheet: breakfast lands before general call, lunch hits exactly six hours later, and company moves are choreographed so the food arrives before the trucks do.

  • Self-contained mobile kitchens
  • Lunch six hours after call, to the minute
  • Company-move choreography included
  • Union-aware, meal-penalty paranoid
The Callsheet Standard

Why Line Producers Rebook Us

The operational promises we're known for on sets across LA.

1

Zero Meal Penalties, Twelve Years

We've never caused a meal penalty. The savings on one avoided penalty usually covers the catering upgrade.

2

Ninety Crew, Twenty-Eight Minutes

Double-sided lines, pre-plated alternates, and serving speed drilled like a stunt — moves happen on schedule.

3

Dietary Meals That Match the Menu

Vegan, gluten-free, and allergy meals are the same course as everyone else's — crew notice, and so do their reps.

4

One Bid, No Surprises

Per-head pricing with equipment, staff, and mileage baked in. Your accountant closes the PO without a phone call.

From the Call Sheet

Producers on the Record

Thirty-one shoot days, three company moves, one basecamp with no power — lunch was hot and on time every single day. Our line producer wrote them into the next budget before we wrapped.

They fed a 90-person crew a full hot lunch in 28 minutes so we made our company move. That's not catering, that's production value.
Marcus J.1st AD, commercial
Best crafty table in LA. Real espresso, actual protein, and a 2 AM ramen bar on our overnight — the crew talked about it more than the picture car.

Production Questions

Set Catering, Answered

What does production catering cost per head?

Full hot breakfast and lunch runs $28-42 per head per day depending on crew size and menu tier; craft services adds $12-18. Bids are all-in — staff, equipment, mileage, and serviceware included, so the PO matches the invoice.

Can you handle remote locations?

Our kitchens are fully self-contained — onboard power, water, and refrigeration. We've fed crews in canyons, deserts, and parking structures with zero location support.

How fast can you serve lunch?

Our standard is 90 crew through a double-sided line in under 30 minutes, with background and day players staggered so the AD keeps the schedule.

Do you handle dietary requirements?

Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and allergy meals are built as first-class versions of the day's menu, labeled by name, and confirmed against your crew list each week.

Can you start on short notice?

Commercials and music videos can usually be covered with 48 hours' notice; we've saved same-week shoots when another caterer fell through. Call dispatch — someone answers 24/7.

Do you do wrap parties?

Love them. Stations, bars, and late-night bites produced with the same logistics discipline as a shoot day — and yes, the crew gets fed first.
