Graduation hibachi catering at home

Graduation season means a rolling crowd, a tight calendar and relatives arriving in waves. A private hibachi chef cooks in courses right in your yard, so the food stays hot from the first guest to the last.

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 $55 each, children $30 each, with a $550 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.

Questions we get asked

Can you handle 30 or 40 guests at a graduation party?
Yes. Twenty to forty is routine for graduation season, and for larger lists we send a second hibachi chef so the last guest is not waiting an hour. Give us the real headcount when you book and we will staff it properly.
Graduation times move. What if the ceremony runs late?
We book a setup window rather than an exact minute. The chef arrives early, sets up, and starts when you say go. A ceremony that runs long is normal in June and costs you nothing.
Can guests arrive at different times?
That is what live cooking is for. The chef cooks in courses, so people eat hot food as they arrive instead of picking at trays that have been sitting since four o’clock.
What does a graduation hibachi party cost?
Adults are $55, children $30, with a $550 event minimum. Travel is a flat $50 for the first 50 miles with tolls included, then $1 per mile. Filet mignon and scallops are premium upgrades.
Do you need a kitchen, or is the backyard enough?
The backyard, deck, patio or driveway is enough — we bring the grill and the propane. All we need is a level spot roughly 10 by 10 feet with clearance overhead, plus somewhere for guests to sit and eat.
