Reviews

What local offices say.

★★★★★
"I order from them 3-5x per week... they set up and serve on time and always get it right. They have many restaurants to choose from and their staff and delivery persons are top notch. If you cater at all, put them on speed dial. They are amazing!"
GM Ginger M.Google review
★★★★★
"I have had such a great experience using Restaurant Connection for the last year. The delivery often arrives early and those who deliver are very kind and helpful. I recommend Restaurant Connection for anyone who could benefit from food delivery to their office or to their home."

FAQ

Catering questions, answered.

How far in advance should I order office catering?

Most orders are placed a day or two ahead. Last-minute requests are welcome whenever a partner restaurant has the capacity to take them, so call or text and we'll find an option.

How much does catering delivery cost?

Delivery starts at $4.99 and depends on the restaurant and your address. Your quote is itemized, so you see every charge before you confirm.

What areas do you cover?

We coordinate catering for workplaces across Santa Barbara, Ventura and San Luis Obispo counties, including Goleta, Montecito and Carpinteria.

Can you handle allergies and dietary restrictions?

Yes. Your coordinator confirms every allergy and dietary need directly with the restaurant, and group orders arrive labeled by name.

Can my company pay by monthly invoice?

Yes. Teams ordering 4 or more times a month can set up a house account with one invoice at month end.

How quickly will I hear back?

A real coordinator replies within 1 hour, 7am to 9pm, 7 days a week, with a menu and a price.

Lunch for 25 on Thursday? Consider it handled.

Send the basics and a coordinator gets back to you with a menu and a price.
