How much is hibachi catering per person?

SIFU works out to about $40 per guest at the 20-guest package, and every guest receives chicken, steak, and shrimp rather than a single protein choice. Fuel, travel, setup, a professional hibachi chef, and a dedicated event attendant are all included. Guests added between package tiers are $50 each.

How much does hibachi at home cost in Rhode Island?

SIFU's Signature Hibachi is $800 for up to 20 guests, $1,600 for up to 40, and $2,400 for up to 60, with $50 per additional in-between guest. Every guest gets chicken, steak, and shrimp plus all the traditional sides. Fuel, travel, and setup within our standard service area are included, with no hidden fees. The quote you approve is what you pay.

What is included in SIFU's hibachi catering?

The full hibachi menu for every guest: chicken, steak, and shrimp, plus fried rice, noodles, hibachi vegetables, salad, edamame, and signature sauces. Every event also includes a professional hibachi chef, a dedicated event attendant who handles food distribution and cleanup, and complete setup and breakdown. Premium upgrades such as filet mignon, salmon, scallops, and lobster tail are available.

Can SIFU serve alcohol at my event in Rhode Island?

Yes. SIFU holds a Rhode Island Class P caterer's liquor license, so we can provide and serve alcohol with professional bartenders, craft cocktails, beer, wine, and spirits, with liquor liability covered. Most at-home catering companies cannot legally pour a drink. With SIFU, the food and the bar run on one vendor and one invoice. Bar service is priced as a separate add-on. Contact us for a quote.

Can I add a sushi bar to my hibachi event?

Yes. A chef-crafted sushi bar can be added to any hibachi package, with fresh rolls made on site and sized to your guest count, or booked on its own. Pairing live-fire hibachi with a fresh sushi bar is something most at-home hibachi caterers cannot offer. Contact us for sushi options and pricing.

What is the difference between White Glove Service and White Glove Concierge?

White Glove Service is a $300 add-on that brings additional hospitality staff to any package for a smoother, more hands-off event. White Glove Concierge is a separate premium package starting at $1,600 for up to 20 guests, built around personalized planning, a full sit-down setup with tables, chairs, linens, place settings, and decor, and premium protein upgrades including Wagyu, lobster, and scallops. Because Concierge is tailored to each event, contact us for a personalized quote.

Does SIFU offer drop-off catering without a live chef?

Yes. Drop-off catering is delivered to your event without an on-site chef or live cooking, starting at a $500 minimum. Orders can combine dishes from the SIFU kitchen and our partner kitchens, including Mediterranean and Dominican-Japanese fusion, delivered together as one order. Hibachi is optional rather than required. Contact us for menus and delivery details.

Does SIFU cater weddings, corporate events, and large parties?

Yes. SIFU serves events from 10 to 600 guests, with multiple hibachi stations, dedicated attendants, licensed bar service, and custom event planning for weddings, rehearsal dinners, corporate gatherings, conferences, and large private parties. Contact us for a custom quote and capacity planning.

What areas does SIFU Catering serve?

SIFU is a mobile caterer based at 24 Haven Ave in Cranston, Rhode Island, serving Rhode Island along with nearby southeastern Massachusetts and eastern Connecticut, generally within about 35 miles of Cranston. That covers Providence, Newport, Warwick, Cranston, Barrington, East Greenwich, Seekonk, Attleboro, Fall River, and surrounding towns. We come to your home or venue. Contact us about locations outside that range.

Is there a deposit to book?

For parties under 20 guests there is no deposit, and you pay your chef on the day once the grill is set up. For weddings and larger events, a fully refundable hold secures your date and locks your price. Contact us to confirm current booking terms.

When it comes to planning an event, food is often the centerpiece. But organizing catering can feel overwhelming. I get it! That’s why I’m here to share how custom corporate catering can make your life easier and your event unforgettable. Whether you’re hosting a small meeting or a large corporate gathering, the right catering approach transforms the experience. Let’s dive into how to simplify corporate catering and make it work perfectly for you.

Why Choose Custom Corporate Catering?

Custom corporate catering is all about flexibility and personalization. You don’t want a one-size-fits-all menu. You want food that fits your event’s vibe, your guests’ tastes, and your budget. That’s the beauty of custom catering.

Tailored menus: Choose dishes that match your event theme or dietary needs.
Interactive experiences: Think live cooking stations or sushi bars that engage guests.
Stress-free planning: Caterers handle the logistics, so you focus on your event.

For example, imagine a mobile hibachi grill at your next corporate event. Guests watch chefs prepare meals right in front of them. It’s fun, fresh, and memorable! This kind of experience is what custom corporate catering brings to the table.

How to Plan Your Custom Corporate Catering

Planning custom corporate catering is easier than you think. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to get you started:

Define your event goals
What’s the purpose? Networking, celebration, training? Your catering should support this.
Know your guest list
How many people? Any dietary restrictions? This helps shape the menu.
Choose a catering style
Buffet, plated service, food stations, or boxed meals? Each has pros and cons.
Pick your cuisine
Japanese, Italian, American classics, or fusion? Custom options let you mix and match.
Set your budget
Be clear about what you can spend. Good caterers will work within your limits.
Communicate with your caterer
Share your vision and ask questions. A great caterer listens and adapts.

For instance, if you want a sushi catering experience, you can request a menu featuring fresh rolls, sashimi, and tempura, all prepared on-site. This adds a wow factor and keeps food fresh and delicious.

Tips for a Smooth Catering Experience

Even with custom corporate catering, a few tips can make your event run flawlessly:

Schedule a tasting

Don’t guess what the food will taste like. Try it beforehand!

Confirm delivery and setup times

Avoid last-minute surprises by coordinating logistics early.

Plan for dietary needs

Have vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or allergy-friendly options ready.

Provide clear instructions

Let your caterer know about venue restrictions, parking, and power access.

Have a backup plan

Weather or technical issues can happen. Be prepared with alternatives.

By following these tips, you ensure your guests enjoy every bite without a hitch.
