Theatre with a purpose
Designed for the rhythm of the room.
A live station is not simply equipment placed at a venue. It changes how guests arrive, queue, watch, choose, and move through service. The format must fit the event as gracefully as the menu does.

Live catering questions
Build confidence into the plan.
The Chaat and Tandoor frameworks now show current public package rates, while venue and operating details still need review.
01What is live Indian catering?
Live Indian catering adds guest-facing preparation or service to an event. Mehfill offers it across the approved GTA from 25 guests, with a 2–3-hour service window and an estimated throughput of 60–70 guests per hour for each station.
02Which live food stations are available?
Mehfill currently offers Live Chaat and Live Tandoor as the two live-menu starting points. Final dish selection and the event-specific venue plan are confirmed in the written quote.
03Is a live dosa package included?
No live dosa package is currently listed here. The two live-menu pathways shown on the site are Live Chaat and Live Tandoor.
04What does the venue need to provide?
The client obtains venue and fire approval. Mehfill supplies tents, tables, and the tandoor. Plan on about 40 square feet per station; electrical, fuel, ventilation, access, and any other site-specific requirement must be confirmed for the venue.
05How is live catering different from a staffed buffet?
A staffed buffet focuses on serving and maintaining the food display. A live format introduces guest-facing preparation or finishing. Staffing, equipment, utilities, service speed, and guest flow can therefore be different.
06What team is assigned to a live or BBQ event?
The standard team is 5 service staff and 2 cooks for every live or BBQ event, with 2 additional service staff when the guest count exceeds 100. All staff, cooks, chefs, and supervisors are billed separately at C$18 per staff member per hour before HST, with a 3-hour minimum per staff member. Travel time is not billed.
07What is the live/BBQ delivery and setup fee?
The total live/BBQ fee is C$100 and includes transportation, setup, teardown, and equipment. It is not added to the C$40 standard delivery fee. Staffing is billed separately, and parking is not charged extra.
08What happens in heavy rain or a thunderstorm?
Heavy rain or a thunderstorm activates the outdoor weather contingency. The event plan must state the resulting service change or cancellation decision. Mehfill removes garbage and wastewater after service.
09What are the current live package rates?
The current public starting rates are C$50 per person for Live Chaat and C$65 per person for Live Tandoor. Prices are before HST. The C$100 live/BBQ fee and separately billed staffing apply in addition to the package rate.
