Choose from our catering menu collections, then confirm the service, setup, staffing and any rentals you need in your quotation.

The food and service should suit the celebration the family actually wants. 01 ### A simple family-focused Debut A shorter program, good food and enough time for photos and conversation can make the evening feel special without filling every hour with formal segments. Full-service Debut catering starts from 50 guests. For a smaller celebration where the family can manage serving and cleanup, Party Trays may be the more practical option. [Browse Party Trays & Prices](https://www.jojies.com/party-trays-manila/)02 ### A traditional Debut If the family is planning a formal entrance, selected 18s, an AVP, cake and other program segments, the catering schedule can be planned around the important parts of the evening. Share the program timing when you request a quotation so the buffet opening, service and clearing can be coordinated with the event schedule. [See a Sample Debut Program Flow](https://www.jojies.com/resources/debut-program-flow/)03 ### A party-first 18th birthday Some celebrations put less emphasis on the traditional 18s and more on dinner, music, games, photos and time with friends. A buffet or cocktail-style setup can work well when guests will be moving around and the program is lighter. Five menu directions ## Five menu directions for the Debut Jojie's Debut catering uses our full-catering menu collections. You can compare the dishes and refine the menu and service plan before your quotation is prepared. 01 ### Filipino Fiesta Familiar Filipino dishes for a celebration that feels warm, familiar and easy for different generations to enjoy. Examples**Kare-Kare, Lechon Kawali, Sotanghon Guisado**[View Filipino Menus](https://www.jojies.com/pinoy-fiesta-corporate-catering-menu-packages/)02 ### Chinese Cuisine Chinese-style dishes for families who want a shared buffet with familiar celebration favorites.

Compare the service model ## Buffet, cocktail-style catering or Party Trays? Coordinated on-site support ### Full-service buffet catering For families who want Jojie's to coordinate the food presentation, buffet equipment, service staff, setup and clearing that are included in the agreed event plan. **Good fit for** a traditional or formal Debut, a seated dinner, or a celebration where the family wants more on-site catering support. **Guest count** from 50 guests. Mingling and movement ### Cocktail-style catering Warm and cold hors d'oeuvres can suit a reception where guests will mingle, move around the room or spend less time seated for a full dinner. **Good fit for** a party-first 18th birthday, welcome reception or lighter social format. **What to know** The exact menu, service support and setup are confirmed in the quotation. Separate self-managed option ### Party Trays Party Trays are a separate, self-managed option for families who already have a serving table and can handle plates, utensils, portions and cleanup. **Good fit for** smaller gatherings, home celebrations and simpler events that do not need full catering service. [Browse Party Trays Manila](https://www.jojies.com/party-trays-manila/) The written quotation defines the scope ## Your quotation shows exactly what Jojie's will handle A Debut quotation can be built around the parts of the catering setup your event actually needs. Depending on the agreed plan, it may include: - the selected food and menu; - buffet setup and serving equipment; - applicable dining and service items; - service staff and on-site catering support; - delivery and collection; - additional tables, chairs or catering equipment. Your quotation lists the final inclusions, quantities, staffing, equipment, transport, charges and payment instructions for the event. Written quotation**Final scope**Food & menuBuffet setupDining & service itemsStaffingDelivery & collectionOptional rentals ### When the celebration also needs other event suppliers Jojie's caters Debuts at a **venue selected by the family**. The venue itself is not included in the catering service. If the celebration also needs a host or emcee, sound and lighting, a stage or backdrop, full event coordination, a Debutant couch or specialist décor, plan those as separate services unless your written quotation specifically confirms otherwise. This makes it easier to compare a Jojie's catering quotation with a restaurant, hotel or broader all-in event package without assuming that every supplier includes the same things. Broader event catering If you are comparing a Debut with other staffed event formats, see Jojie's [**catering services in Manila**](https://www.jojies.com/catering-services/) for the broader full-service catering overview. Venue access checklist ## Already booked the venue? Send the access details with your inquiry The venue affects more than the address. Supplier entry, loading, elevators and setup time can change how the catering plan needs to work. Useful details include: 01 complete venue and room address; 02 supplier entrance or security instructions; 03 loading or parking arrangements; 04 stairs or service-elevator access; 05 the time suppliers may enter and begin setup; 06 the serving time and major program timings; 07 the event end time and collection or pull-out requirements. Jojie's can coordinate the catering setup around those venue requirements. The family remains responsible for the venue booking itself. 1**Arrival**Supplier entrance / security2**Load-in**Parking / loading / elevator3**Setup**Approved access window4**Service**Meal and program timing5**Pull-out**Collection requirements Meal service around the program ## Meal service can be coordinated around the Debut program If the celebration includes 18 Roses, 18 Candles, 18 Treasures, a cotillion, AVP, cake, speeches or performances, share the key timings with the catering team.

For a detailed sample run sheet and different program lengths, see the **Debut Program Flow** guide. [Plan the Program Flow](https://www.jojies.com/resources/debut-program-flow/) Optional event support ## Tables, chairs and catering equipment can be added when needed Some venues already provide complete dining furniture and service equipment. Others provide the room and little else. Jojie's also offers tables, chairs and catering equipment that can be added to the event quotation when needed. ### Gold Tiffany Chairs Gold Tiffany chairs can suit a formal Debut, especially when the venue and table plan call for a more finished reception setup. [View Gold Tiffany Chair Rentals](https://www.jojies.com/tiffany-chair-rental-manila/) ### Tables and Chairs Round tables, rectangular tables and other seating options are available through our tables and chairs rental service. [Browse Tables & Chairs Rental](https://www.jojies.com/tables-and-chairs-rental-manila/) ### Catering Equipment Additional buffet and service equipment can be quoted when the venue or event setup needs it. [View Catering Equipment Rental](https://www.jojies.com/catering-equipment-rental/) Any rental included in the event is confirmed in your quotation. It is not automatically part of every Debut catering arrangement. Quotation factors ## What affects the Debut catering quotation? Jojie's does not publish one fixed Debut package price. The quotation depends on the actual event. 01 ### Guest count and menu The number of guests, cuisine, dishes and meal requirements shape the food quantities and preparation. 02 ### Service format and staffing A staffed buffet or cocktail reception needs a different level of on-site support from a self-managed food order. 03 ### Venue access and timing Security, loading, elevators, setup windows, serving time and collection requirements can affect the plan. 04 ### Equipment, rentals and transport Buffet equipment, dining items, tables, chairs and transport are included only where they are part of the agreed quotation. **Pricing rule:** No public fixed Debut price. Review the complete quotation before booking. Start with what you know ## What to send when you request a Debut quotation You do not need every detail final before you inquire.

If some details are still undecided, say so. The quotation can be prepared around the confirmed information and the choices that still need to be discussed.

Send the event details Tell us the date, venue, guest estimate, schedule and the kind of catering you are considering. 2 ### 2.
