Who we are
BonusClaimVista is a Melbourne catering and meal delivery company built on the belief that excellent food brings people together. We work with homes, offices and event venues across Victoria, delivering everything from single ready meals to multi-course event menus. Our kitchen team starts early, our drivers plan efficient routes, and our event managers stay in touch from first quote to final clean-up.
We choose local suppliers whenever possible, reduce waste through careful portion planning and use packaging that keeps food safe without harming the planet. For us, catering is not just cooking; it is logistics, communication and trust.
Our story
The company was founded by Marcus Bennett, a chef who spent more than ten years in Melbourne restaurants before noticing how often great food was let down by late or impersonal delivery. In 2018, Marcus started BonusClaimVista from a small commercial kitchen in West Melbourne with one driver and a handful of loyal corporate clients.
Word spread quickly. Within two years, the team moved to larger premises on Rosslyn Street, added event catering and built a reputation for arriving on time, every time. Today, Marcus still oversees the menu and personally approves every new dish before it reaches a customer. His belief is simple: if the food is not good enough for his own table, it is not good enough for yours.
