What vegetarian catering costs with RASA
RASA menus run from ₹1,200 to ₹3,000 a plate. That figure is for the food, and GST, transport and crockery are charged separately. You’ll see each of them as its own line in your proposal, before you agree to anything.
That’s a wide range on purpose. Two events with the same guest count can sit at opposite ends of it, depending on how much live cooking there is and how the evening is put together.
₹1,200–₹3,000
a plate, for the food. GST, transport and crockery are charged separately and shown as their own lines in your proposal.
The eight things that move the number
- How many live stations, and which ones. A counter that fries to order is a different job from one that assembles. Each one is its own setup, its own ingredients and its own cook through the service.
- How many courses, and how much choice inside each.
- How much fusion work is on the menu. Dishes with more components take more hands to prepare.
- How it’s served. Stations and a buffet, small plates carried to guests, or plated courses.
- How the food is presented and portioned.
- How many functions, and how many hours of service.
- Your guest count. Smaller events carry a higher per-plate figure, because the same setup serves fewer plates.
- Where the venue is and what it has. Distance affects transport, which is billed separately.
What sits outside the per-plate figure
GST · transport · crockery. Anything else that carries a charge is written into your proposal as its own line, before you confirm. Nothing is added afterwards that wasn’t in the proposal you agreed to.
What that means for your guest count
This is arithmetic on the range, not a quote. It shows the food cost only, before GST, transport and crockery.
| Guests | At ₹1,200 a plate | At ₹3,000 a plate |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | ₹1,20,000 | ₹3,00,000 |
| 200 | ₹2,40,000 | ₹6,00,000 |
| 500 | ₹6,00,000 | ₹15,00,000 |
Your own figure lands somewhere inside those two columns once the stations and the menu are settled.
Why this isn’t the cheapest way to feed people
It isn’t meant to be. A buffet of trays can be cooked in one place and carried in. A live station means a cook standing at a counter through the whole service, cooking each portion as it’s asked for, with everything that counter needs brought to your venue and set up there. You’re paying for food that reaches the plate at the moment it should, and for a room where people gather at the counters instead of queueing at one table.
What we can’t put on a web page
We don’t publish per-station prices or fixed packages, because the honest number depends on your venue, your guest count and the line-up you choose. What we can do is give you all of it in writing, itemised, before you commit.
Tell us about your event
Your name and WhatsApp number are enough to start. Everything else helps us shape the stations and the menu.
Or fill in the longer form, with stations, dates and guest numbers
Your enquiry is with us.
We have your name and WhatsApp number, and what you’ve told us about your event.
Next: we’ll message you on WhatsApp to talk through the date, the guest count and the stations you’re drawn to. After that we write your proposal: the station line-up, the menu, the service plan and a per-plate figure, with GST, transport and crockery as separate lines.
Nothing is booked until you say so.
