What Puff 'n Stuff does

Puff 'n Stuff (legal entity: PuffnStuffCateringLLC) is a Florida-based, full-service catering and event company founded in 1985 and headquartered at 250 Rio Drive, Orlando. It designs and executes custom menus, provides on-site professional staffing, and coordinates events for weddings, corporate functions, and social gatherings across Central Florida and Florida's West Coast, including Orlando, Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Miami. Its core offering is full-service event catering delivered through dedicated event planners who work with clients on menu design and execution; supporting offerings include drop-off delivery for office meetings and a Family Meal Program ($75 chef-curated meals for four with free local delivery) sold through a standalone online ordering storefront.

The company operates from a 30,000 sq ft Orlando commissary (kitchens, production warehouse, storage, laundry, and client-design meeting space) and a Tampa commissary kitchen at 5804 E. Columbus Drive, with additional seated event licenses at The Enclave Tampa, Windward Passage Clearwater, and USTA Orlando. Revenue is generated through quote-based custom event catering contracts (weddings, corporate events, social gatherings), unit-priced drop-off delivery, and unit-priced family meal and holiday meal orders (Easter Brunch for 4 at $80). The company sells through a sales-led GTM anchored by dedicated event planners, inside sales/phone inquiries, an e-commerce storefront at delivery.puffnstuff.com, and a venue partner network spanning 30+ Florida venues (Armature Works, Orlando Science Center, Hyde House, Tampa Museum of Art, The Motor Enclave, Tringali Barn) where Puff 'n Stuff acts as preferred or exclusive caterer.

The firm holds Florida catering, liquor, seated, and non-seated licenses across multiple counties. Recognition includes Orlando Magazine Best Caterer of 2024, Orlando Business Journal Golden 100 (2023), and WeddingWire Couples' Choice Award (2020).
