Fundraising Meal Information

Partner with SEI Catering to run a stress-free, high-profit fundraiser your community will love. We handle the cooking — you keep the profit.

How It Works

Our simple four-step process makes fundraising easy and profitable for any organization.

1

Choose Your Meal

Pick from our selection of crowd-pleasing menus designed to maximize your profit margins.

2

Sell Pre-Orders

Your organization sells meals in advance. No upfront costs — you only pay for what's been ordered.

3

We Handle the Cooking

SEI delivers, but your organization handles preparing and distributing takeout boxes to your community.

You pocket the difference between what you charged and our cost. The more you sell, the more you earn!

Organization Responsibilities

Here's what your organization needs to handle at each stage of the fundraiser.

Timeline

14–5 Weeks Before the Fundraiser

  • Create, print, and begin selling tickets
Timeline

21–1.5 Hours Before Serving

  • Provide + Set up 3–4 eight-foot tables
  • Assign volunteers to bag rolls before meals are picked up (SEI provides bags)
  • Assign volunteers to place cold items into bags (number of volunteers needed will vary based on total sales)
Timeline

330–45 Minutes Before Serving, assign volunteers to the following stations:

  • Hot food servers - 1 volunteer per hot food item to dish out portions
  • Container holders - 3 or more volunteers to hold to-go containers as they are filled
  • Bag packers - 1–2 volunteers to place filled containers into bags at the end of the line
  • Car runners - 3–4 volunteers to meet cars as they pull up and deliver orders
  • Pan refiller - 1 volunteer to replace empty pans on the serving line from the hot box

Minimum number of helpers needed is 12. If sales are greater than 600 we recommend 2 lines to dish out food so helper number is about 25 and 8 foot tables is 6 or 7.
