Catering FAQs
What kind of catering do you offer?
Mostly off-site, buffet-style catering, along with individual boxes and combo meals, plus special menus for larger events. Everything is 100% gluten-free, seed-oil-free, and refined-sugar-free, no exceptions.
How can I place a catering order?
You can book directly at www.justbekitchen.com/catering
Who should I contact with catering and event questions?
If you're unsure of how to order or if you would like to host a private event, please fill out the contact form at justbekitchen.com/contact or email us at nourished@justbekitchen.com and our team will support you.
How much notice do you need?
We ask for 48 hours' notice on catering orders, which gives our kitchen the time to prep everything fresh and from scratch the way we always do. Less than that or same-day catering is sometimes possible depending on the size of the order, reach out and we'll tell you what we can do to make it work - we definitely desire to nourish you!
Can you offer catering for special dietary needs?
Yes. Because of how we already cook, gluten-free, seed-oil-free, refined-sugar-free, most dietary needs are covered before you even ask. If your group needs something beyond the standard catering menu, we can build a custom menu at an added cost.
Do you cater for weddings and office parties?
Yes, absolutely! Email nourished@justbekitchen.com or if you would like to host a private event, please fill out the contact form at justbekitchen.com/contact

We'll gladly set up and arrange everything at your buffet location. We don't currently offer drop-off and pickup of JBK-owned serving equipment.
Will JBK staff my event?
We staff onsite private events at our LoHi and Boulder locations. We don't staff off-site events, though we're happy to work with your venue on how to execute staffing for the food. For teams representing high performance athletes, please message us at nourished@justbekitchen.com where we do offer special, off-menu catering menu and services.
How do I keep my food warm?
We'll send reheating instructions with any items that need them.
Can I make modifications to items?
For most dishes, yes, we'll work with you to find something that fits, and it'll still taste amazing! We offer a number of modifications on all dishes.
Are utensils included in my catering order?
Serving utensils are included on request. Cutlery isn't included automatically but can be added for $1 per person.
Does JBK host private events or large reservations?
Yes. We offer patio buyouts and full venue hire at both locations, seating 30-75 people, standing room for larger groups. Pricing is quote-based depending on date, time, and whether it is a full or partial venue hire, and a food and beverage minimum applies. Email nourished@justbekitchen.com for details.
