Revenue model

1. Full-Service Catering & Events: The primary revenue driver — providing food, service staff, rentals, bar services, and event planning for corporate events, weddings, galas, and social occasions. Revenue is event-based and project-based, varying by guest count, service style, and menu customization. Minimum spend requirements apply for full-service staffed events.
2. Corporate Office Delivery: Chef-crafted meals and platters delivered to offices for team lunches, meetings, and corporate breakfasts. Customers can order via the online shop, phone, or email. This stream is transactional per order and complements the full-service events business.
3. Online Product Sales: Direct-to-consumer sales of boxed food items (grazing boxes, dessert boxes, BBQ boxes, curry boxes, lasagna boxes, sandwich boxes) and gift certificates through the shop.savourychef.com e-commerce platform. These are unit-priced, per-item purchases.

Core offering

Savoury Chef Catering & Events is a Vancouver-based full-service catering company that prepares, delivers, and serves food for corporate events, weddings, galas, social gatherings, and recurring office meal programs. The company sources fresh, local Pacific Northwest ingredients, customizes menus to client needs, and provides end-to-end event execution including chefs, service staff, bar service, rentals, and venue coordination. It also operates an e-commerce storefront for boxed meals, grazing boards, dessert boxes, and gift certificates.

Product overview

Savoury Chef is a full-service catering and events company serving Vancouver and surrounding areas since 2006. The company operates as a unified catering platform offering corporate event catering, office and corporate delivery, wedding catering, and social/private event services. These core offerings are supplemented by seasonal and special menu programs (BBQ, holiday, game day, Pride, Lunar New Year), an espresso bar service, charcuterie and grazing boards, dessert buffets and boxes, a venue directory with preferred venue partnerships, and an online event alcohol calculator tool. The product portfolio is unified under a single brand with no modular add-on architecture — clients select individual service types or combine multiple offerings (e.g., catering plus venue coordination plus bar service) into customized event packages.
