What this covers

Catering on short notice, from kitchens that cook every day anyway.

A short-notice order does not need a kitchen to be specially mobilised for it. Ours are in Abu Dhabi Industrial City and cook more than 7,000 meals every day, so a function added a day or two out joins a schedule that is already running.

Send the date, the head count and the format now, and our team replies with what is genuinely possible for that date - a straight answer, not a promise made before the calendar is checked.

01

A day or two out

A costed menu built from dishes our kitchens are already producing, confirmed against the delivery schedule for your date.
02

Office functions at short notice

Working breakfasts, boardroom lunches and coffee breaks arranged around a meeting that was called late.
03

Events that moved

A changed date or a grown guest list re-costed and re-planned by the same team, not started over.

Answers

Questions we are asked

Can you cater with one or two days notice?

Often, yes. Send the date and head count and our team confirms what is possible for that date before anything is agreed.

Is a short-notice menu more limited?

It is built from what our kitchens are producing that day - which is a daily output of over 7,000 meals, so the range is wide.

How is short-notice catering quoted?

Share the date, venue, guest count and service requirements. The team will send a tailored proposal for you to review before confirming.

Need a large catering order today or tomorrow?

Send your date, serving time, venue and total guest count so the team can assess your request. If the order covers several delivery points or serving times, break down the headcount for each rather than giving only a grand total.

You can copy and complete this optional brief:
Company or event:
Catering date and guest serving time:
Venue or delivery address:
Total headcount:
Headcount and receiving window at each delivery point, if relevant:
Food delivery only, or setup and serving support requested:
Dietary requirements and allergies:
Menu or timing flexibility:

You do not need a final menu before making an enquiry. Kitchen capacity, dishes, delivery timing and any setup or staffing must be confirmed for your specific request. Sending an enquiry does not reserve catering.

When another caterer cancels

One Dana Prime customer described a Friday cancellation by another provider before a Monday event. The customer said our team responded to the enquiry and coordinated the menu, service and buffet arrangement over WhatsApp and email. If your event has changed, send the date, serving time, venue, headcount and essential requirements now. We will check what our kitchen and delivery team can genuinely support before confirming a proposal.

Answers

Plan your catering with confidence.

Which details help the team assess an urgent catering request?

Send the date, exact serving time, guest count, venue and dietary requirements in one message. Say whether you need food delivery, setup or staff. The team will need to confirm the available menu and service before accepting the booking.

What should I do if my caterer cancels shortly before an event?

Contact Dana Prime with the event date, guest serving time, venue, headcount and the service you need. Explain what cannot change and where the menu or timing is flexible. The team will check kitchen, delivery and staffing availability before offering a replacement plan; sending an enquiry does not reserve a booking.
