Cutting boards for catering & event kitchens
Catering is cooking in places kitchens were never meant to be. The CHEFEAT TPU board weighs 19.4 oz, rolls up, packs flat in a van crate, works on any table without sliding — and sanitizes in whatever dishwasher the venue has. It's the board that travels like equipment, not furniture.
The catering board checklist
1. Every pound in the van counts
A wooden board is 7–10 lbs of dead weight; ours is 19.4 oz. Load twenty boards for a wedding and your crew still lifts less than three wooden ones.
2. Venue tables are never right
Folding tables, marble counters, plywood on sawhorses — the non-slip surface holds on all of them, and the extra-large 17.3 × 12.6 in surface turns any table into a real prep station.
3. Cleanup happens wherever you are
Non-porous TPU sanitizes in the venue's dishwasher, a three-compartment sink, or wiped down with sanitizer between tasks — no oiling, no babying, no smell riding home in the van.
Where it earns its place
- On-site prep: bends to funnel cuts straight into hotel pans and cambros
- Live-action stations: looks clean and modern in front of guests
- Pack-out: stacks flat in crates; a full set fits where one poly board did

Common questions
How many boards do catering teams usually run?
Crews typically spec 2–3 boards per chef on site (proteins / produce / service) plus spares in the van — a 10-chef operation runs 25–35 boards. Case-quantity ordering covers that in one shipment.
Do they survive being rolled and packed every day?
Yes — TPU is an elastomer; rolling is a designed behavior, not abuse. The board returns flat, and there's no wooden core to crack or delaminate.
