Graduation hibachi catering at home

Built for a crowd that arrives in waves

The hard part of a graduation party is not the food, it is the timing — grandparents at four, the team at six, neighbours whenever. Graduation hibachi catering solves it by cooking live: the chef works the flat-top in courses instead of laying out trays that go cold by five. Guests eat when they arrive, straight off the grill. That is the practical difference between mobile hibachi catering and drop-off catering in June.

What is included at a graduation hibachi party

Every booking includes the private hibachi chef, the grill and propane, all cooking, the knife-and-fire show, and clean-up of our station. Each plate comes with hibachi fried rice, seasoned vegetables, salad and our signature sauces, plus two proteins per guest. We can run chicken and steak for the crowd and hold a few filet or shrimp plates back for the family table. It is hibachi grill catering with the show attached, not a buffet line.

Pricing and headcount for graduation season

Adults are $44.99 each, children $30 each, with a $450 event minimum. Travel is a flat $50 for the first 50 miles including tolls, then $1 per mile. Graduation parties are usually our larger bookings — 20 to 40 guests is routine, and for very large lists we can send a second chef so nobody waits. Tell us the real number, including the cousins who say maybe, and we will size it honestly.

How graduation day runs with a hibachi chef

Because ceremony times move, we lock the setup window rather than a single minute. The chef arrives 20 to 30 minutes early, sets up on the driveway, deck or patio, and starts when you say go. If the ceremony runs long, the grill waits — that flexibility is why in-home hibachi works for graduations where a restaurant reservation would already be forfeited.
