What to know before you order

Boxed lunches for Naperville offices

Our boxed lunches are built for a conference table (see Boxed Lunches). The Basic is $14.50: a sandwich on a fresh baked French roll with chips, a cookie and condiments, in eight choices from turkey BLT to tuna salad to vegetarian. The Executive is $16.50 and adds fruit, potato salad or cole slaw and a brownie or cookie, with twelve choices including the Dagwood and Tuscan turkey. The Executive Chef's Chopped Salad is $17.50 for people who skip bread. The minimum is 20 boxes. Keep sandwich choices to three for 20 boxes and four for larger orders to avoid a 10% charge, and give us three days' notice.

Breakfast meetings along I-88

For a morning meeting we deliver the Continental Breakfast at $11.99 per person, fruit and sweet breads with plates included, or the Basic Breakfast Buffet at $16.99 with scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, home fries and fruit (see Breakfast & Brunch). Breakfast trays of ham, sausage and cheddar or bacon, onion and Swiss are $69 and serve 20. Juice or coffee is $2.49 per person with cups, sugars and creamers. The driver texts when five minutes out.

Hot lunch for a team, by the tray

When the team is tired of sandwiches, trays make a hot lunch for 20 (see Entrées & Sides by the Tray): chicken oreganato, which is gluten free, at $80, baked lasagna at $50 or $90, vegetarian baked lasagna at $40 or $70, classic Caesar salad at $49, garlic bread at $19.99, and brownies at $59 for 35. Chafing dishes are $17 each if lunch will sit.

Graduation and family parties in Naperville

For a graduation party or a milestone birthday at home, Buffet Menu 1 at $18.99 per person with two entrees, three sides and bread is the straightforward choice, delivered and set up in chafers with plates, napkins and silverware at $1.50 per person. May and June Saturdays book early (see Graduation parties).

“My wife and I had Upper Crust for our wedding. They did an absolutely fantastic job! Extremely professional, great communication, fantastic food, great service, and they are very willing to do the little details if needed (flexible!). They made us feel less stressed, we could trust them, and we feel like we received great value for the price we paid. I would recommend this caterer to anyone!!”

“We had some catering done by Upper Crust for our son's high school graduation. We had used them previously for a wedding reception as well. The food is always excellent and there were so many people who said how good it was. I have always been impressed with this company. They are kind and courteous and will always answer all your questions. Great job!!!”

We are at Route 59 and I-88, on the Naperville and Aurora line. Which fee applies?
If your address is Naperville, it is $45. If it is Aurora, it is $40 [/areas/aurora]. Tell us the address and we quote the right one.
What if 15 of our 60 people want the chicken Caesar wrap and the rest want four other things?
For orders over 20 boxes you can pick four sandwich choices with no extra charge. A fifth choice adds 10%. Mark the count for each on the order and we label every box.
Do you have vegetarian and gluten-free options for a mixed office?
Both boxed lunches come in a vegetarian version, and chicken oreganato by the tray is gluten free. Put allergies and restrictions in the dietary notes box on your order; our chefs prepare separate meals for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal or allergy-specific guests.
How much is catering delivery to Naperville?
Delivery to Naperville is a flat $45. That covers the drive (about 40 minutes from our Yorkville kitchen), set-up of a buffet, and the driver texting you when they are five minutes away. Pick-up at 109 E Hydraulic Ave, Yorkville is free.
How far ahead should I book for an event in Naperville?
3 days for a drop-off order and 14 days for a staffed event is comfortable. Weddings and graduation weekends in May and June book months out; funeral luncheons we can often do with a day's notice.
Can you deliver food to my office?
Yes. Boxed lunches, hot buffets and breakfast arrive at the delivery time you choose. We deliver across Kendall, Kane, Will and DuPage counties.

Tell us in advance. Our chefs prepare separate meals for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal or allergy-specific guests. There is a dietary notes box on every order.
Can you provide staff for my event?
Certainly. Our servers set up and maintain the buffet, clear tables, and break down and pack your leftovers. Staff is $35 per hour per server with a four-hour minimum, plus a 20% service charge shared with the whole team.
Is a deposit required?
Yes. Weddings take a 20% deposit of the estimated cost. Other events take 25%, paid online when you accept the quote. Deposits are non-refundable and are credited toward your balance, which is due seven days before the event.
