NYC Craft services for film, TV, commercial & photo
Craft services for New York sets. Coffee at call, hot meals on the six, a craft table that never goes bare, and a snack in every pocket. We've got everyone.
Crew call to wrap
Breakfast at call. First meal on the six. Restocks all day, and wrap snacks for the drive home. Yes, we packed extra.
Nobody works hungry
Hot meals, cold drinks, early calls and overnights. Every tray labelled, every department fed, every grip accounted for.
01 What we do
One team from load-in to wrap: hot meals timed to your call sheet, a craft table that stays stocked, drinks for every department, and somebody awake for your overnight.
A staffed grazing table from call to wrap: fruit, crudité, protein, snacks, sweets and the good seltzer. Never bare, never sad.
Good for Every shoot day, every size of crew
Hot breakfast at call, first meal on the six, second meal if you go long. Buffet line, plated, or boxed for a company move.
Good for Long days, big units, stages and locations
A coffee bar from the first pot to the last, cold brew on tap, hydration for the trucks, and a second station for video village or the client tent.
Good for Commercials with a client in the room
Night exteriors, overnights and split days. Hot food at 2 a.m., and coffee that doesn't taste like 2 a.m.
Good for Night exteriors, music videos, overnights

03 How much for how many
Rule-of-thumb quantities for one shoot day. Slide the crew, pick the hours, watch the coffee pile up.
04 How a shoot day works
Meals land the minute your AD calls them. Pick a crew call and a day length and the sheet re-times itself.
Union sets: first meal is due six hours after call, second meal six hours after the first ends. We're set up early, every time. Walking breakfast or NDB? Tell us and we'll plan it.

07 The dietary promise
Nobody on your crew should have to ask what's in it, or settle for the sad salad. Allergies and religious requirements get their own table, their own tools and their own labels.
Every tray gets a printed label: name, diet, allergens, the time it was made and the time it goes. Dietary plates carry the crew member's name.
Separate boards, utensils and gloves, a separate labelled dietary table, covered trays served first. Flag a nut allergy and the whole table goes nut-free.
A real hot option for every diet at every meal: jerk tofu bowls, mushroom bolognese on GF pasta, not a side of rice.
Halal-sourced proteins on request, cooked and held apart. A kosher-style menu as standard, and certified kosher meals ordered in sealed when you need them; we hand them over unopened.
Six vegan, three GF, one nut allergy: give us the numbers in the builder or the quote and we plate for each person, then send the ingredient sheet to your medic and 2nd AD.

08 Questions
Can't find it? Call the office; a human picks up.
A week is comfortable and a couple of days is usually fine. We've turned around a pickup shot the same day. Overnights and very big units need a little more notice.
No hard minimum. Small photo shoots often get a drop-off craft box instead of a staffed table; your quote will say which makes more sense.
Yes. First meal within six hours of call, second meal within six hours of the end of first meal, and we're ready early so the line never eats into the half hour. We take the meal call from your AD, not the clock.
Yes. We box first meal for a move, or leapfrog with a second setup at the next location. Put the move on the call sheet and we'll plan the van.
A spot near set for the table, one standard outlet (we bring our own power for exteriors) and somewhere to park a van for load-in. We bring tables, linens, canopy, chafers, coolers and trash.
Everything is labelled with allergens, prep is separated, and the ingredient sheet goes to your medic before call. Flag a severe allergy when you book and we'll set a dedicated table.
You approve a written quote, we feed your crew, and we invoice the production.
Every set has that one person with snacks in every pocket, a spare charger and opinions about hydration. We're that, for the whole crew. You may have known us as Dips On Set.
