Olive Garden adding catering delivery, available at all restaurants in the U.S.

MILWAUKEE -- Olive Garden is adding catering delivery to the menu at all restaurants in the U.S. and Canada. Guests can now have their favorite Italian meals and breadsticks delivered for family gatherings, office parties and more.

Designed to make organizing special events easier, catering delivery from Olive Garden allows hosts to spend more time with their guests and less time preparing the menu. Olive Garden Delivery Specialists are available to assist with menu planning and will deliver food right to the door. To further assist with guests’ events, Olive Garden’s catering menu has Catering Meal Combinations, featuring bundles of Olive Garden favorites with variety for every taste at an affordable value.

“Our Olive Garden team members are always striving to make any occasion effortless for our guests so they can focus on quality time with their family and friends," said Dan Kiernan, executive vice president of operations for Olive Garden. “Our guests have long been utilizing our To Go experience for their large-party dining needs, so we’re excited to offer another convenient option with delivery.”

Catering delivery is available for minimum orders of $125 with a 15 percent delivery fee for orders up to $500 and a 5 percent delivery fee for every dollar thereafter. Each delivery order comes with grated cheese, serving and eating utensils, table covers, plates, napkins and Olive Garden’s signature mints. Chafing dishes, racks and fuel are available for purchase to complete the experience.

To place a catering delivery order, contact your local Olive Garden.
