In 2026, the service remains in high demand among private clients and companies planning weddings, corporate events, children's parties and business meetings. Discount-house Catering has been operating in the market for over 5 years, offering custom menus, professional service and a complete event cycle — from concept development to post-event cleaning.

Key offerings include New Year's Eve catering in Dubai with festive menus and shows, corporate events, wedding banquets, children's parties, pop-up restaurants on yachts, in the desert and on the beach, as well as ready-meal delivery to offices and homes.
