B2B EVENT CATERING
Product launch catering Dubai, timed to the reveal
Product launch catering in Dubai is standing food timed to the reveal. Canapé receptions start from AED 150 per person. Service can pause for speeches, then continue so guests keep moving around the product.
From investor rooms in DIFC to larger unveilings in Downtown Dubai, menus are planned for the tone of the event: canapés, a press lunch, or a dessert station. Dietary notes are labelled. Presentation is considered, without competing with the product.
Explore our launch formats below, or see how we support wider corporate catering in Dubai, luxury catering, corporate event catering, and canapé catering.

The full company brief
What a corporate catering day includes
Food is only the start. A company day also needs chefs or a drop-off kitchen, service staff when the room requires them, equipment that fits an office pantry, clearly labelled dietary options, a loading-bay window and one person who owns the timeline. The lists below are what we write into corporate quotes. The written quote names the dishes, the team and the price.
How the room is served
Service formats for a Dubai office or venue
Choose delivered lunches, a staffed buffet, passed canapés or individually plated service to suit the meeting. Drop-off is food, delivery and layout. A staffed buffet adds people for setup, replenishing and clearance. Canapés keep a standing room moving. Plated service is courses at a table. Each format has its own starting price.

- Drop-off plus collection of empties
- Staffed buffet line
- Passed canapé reception
- Bowl-food standing service

Yes. A press preview for a small room is a normal booking. The menu and staff are sized to the guest list, not copied from a ballroom template.
Staffed service is quoted when you need people in the room. Bartenders and alcohol only where the venue is licensed and the proposal names them. Drop-off is food and layout only.
Send the date, venue, headcount and reveal time as soon as you have them. We typically reply within 15 minutes during business hours. Larger rooms need venue access checked before the menu is final.
