Balancing Form & Function in Every Package

Taste is only one aspect; the packaging of your food also counts. As top catering food suppliers in South Africa, we adhere to sustainable practices and provide a large range of food packaging choices, from takeaway containers and punnets to serviettes, films and disposables, to help nearby food businesses stay professional and efficient. Our packaging is designed with practicality, safety, and a neat appearance in mind, adhering to your brand standards.

CATERING FOOD SUPPLIES

Supplying Contract, Event and Venue Caterers

On The Run Marketing supplies catering food supplies to catering companies, event caterers and function venues: ambient dry goods, food-service packaging and cleaning chemicals, held as stock in our own warehouses in Johannesburg and Cape Town since 2007.

We supply the ingredients and consumables your kitchen works with. We do not cook, staff or run the function, so there is no conflict with your own operation.

Built for Volume Catering

Catering runs in peaks. We hold volume on fast-moving ambient lines so a large function does not clear our shelf, and your weekly route day lets you build an order against a confirmed booking rather than buying at retail the day before.

One Account

Ingredients, packaging and cleaning chemicals on one order, one delivery and one invoice, so a whole function is sourced from a single account.

Where We Deliver

Johannesburg warehouse

Serves Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and North West from The Gables Commercial Park, Wychwood.

Cape Town warehouse

Serves the Cape Town metro and the wider Western Cape from Stikland Industrial, Bellville.

Deliveries run on weekly scheduled routes, so each account has a set delivery day. We do not currently deliver into KwaZulu-Natal, the Eastern Cape or the Free State.

Questions We Get Asked

Do you supply caterers with packaging as well as food?

Yes. Ambient dry goods, food-service packaging and cleaning chemicals come off one account, one delivery and one invoice, which is usually simpler than running three suppliers.

Can you handle a large one-off function order?

Yes. Tell us the volumes and the date and we will confirm availability against stock. We hold depth on fast-moving ambient lines for exactly this.

Do you cater events yourselves?

No. We are a distributor. We supply the dry goods, packaging and cleaning products that catering companies use, which means we are not competing with you for the booking.

What areas do you deliver catering supplies to?

Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and North West from Johannesburg, and the Cape Town metro and wider Western Cape from our Stikland warehouse, on weekly scheduled routes.

Are you food safety certified?

Yes. Our system is certified by Intertek under the FSA scheme following the GFSI Global Markets programme, covering receiving, storage, handling and distribution. Certificate 0249980 is valid to 17 June 2027.

How many product lines do you carry?

Over 2,000 across ambient dry goods, food-service packaging and cleaning chemicals.

Pricing for your catering list

Send us the lines and volumes you go through in a typical week or a typical function and we will come back with pricing and your delivery day.
