Capital Catering+

What Capital Catering+ does

Capital Catering+ (legal entity: Capital Catering and Services Sole Proprietorship L.L.C.) is a UAE-headquartered, full-service catering company operating from Abu Dhabi as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ADNEC Group. Founded in 2015 and employing 1,001-5,000 people, the company runs two dedicated Emirati kitchens in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain and delivers across all seven UAE emirates, offering a 60+ dish a la carte takeaway and delivery menu alongside tiered VIP Lunch and Dinner Packages priced AED 10,000-25,000 per event. The firm delivered 2,500+ weddings and events in 2024, spanning weddings, corporate meetings and exhibitions (including at ADNEC venues), VIP and luxury occasions, and Ramadan/Eid programming supported by its Capital Majlis venue sub-brand.

Its core offering is split across two commercial channels: (1) itemized a la carte catering with a minimum AED 1,000 order, 24-hour delivery, and optional pickup from an ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi location, supported by internal logistics; and (2) packaged full-service events with service staff, gold/silver setup, and equipment included. Operational differentiators include biodegradable and compostable packaging (date palm leaf containers), HACCP-compliant food safety, and ISO 14001 environmental certification, reinforced by the company's Gulf Sustainability Awards 2024 recognition.

Capital Catering+ serves a diversified institutional and consumer base including government clients (World Trade Organization, Air Navigation Services), nonprofits (Dubai Women Establishment), and healthcare providers (Imperial College London Diabetes Centre), alongside corporate, wedding, and VIP segments. As an ADNEC Group entity, it benefits from embedded venue access at ADNEC-organized exhibitions and an integrated venue-catering offering via Capital Majlis, while pricing is primarily event-based unit pricing supplemented by add-on professional services such as additional service staff at AED 400/hour.
