The new catering program even offers options that can cost less than $10 per head if it’s a six-person minimum, and orders can be placed as far as 14 days in advance or as short as two hours in advance, according to the article.

Applebee’s is joining a wave of restaurants this year that have launched catering options in an effort to appeal to more diners with varying eating needs.
