Catering & Events · Cleveland
Dean Supply is a family-owned distributor in Cleveland, in business since 1950. We carry more display and presentation than anyone around here — risers, stands, tiers, platters, bowls and frames — and we carry it deep.
Plus every disposable an event burns through: foil pans, dome lids, take-out containers, cutlery, cups and napkins. One stop, one invoice.
The Price Story
Presentation is the cheapest upgrade in catering. Height turns a flat table into a display, and a riser costs less than a case of napkins.

Cups, cutlery, napkins, plates, portion cups and gloves. The volume list every event burns through.

In Use
Brands
We carry the lines caterers ask for by name, and we carry them in depth rather than one of each.
Not the whole list — if you buy something we do not show, ask. We can usually get it, and we will tell you straight if we cannot.
By Event
Different events, different loads. Here is what usually goes in the van.
No staff on site, so the packaging is the presentation. It has to travel, hold temperature and look right when somebody else opens it.
Height is the whole trick. Flat tables read as cheap; risers and tiers make the same food look like more.
Consistency across a room. Everything matched, everything hot, everything out at once.
Small pieces, lots of them, and trays that a server can hold in one hand for an hour.
No kitchen, no power you did not bring, and weather. Everything travels and nothing stays hot on its own.
Terms
Questions
No. The showroom is open to the public and you can order on the website without one. An account gets you terms and a rep.
They start at $2.29 and most sit between $3 and $9. Wood quarter ovals in four finishes are $3.99. Wrought iron 12 inch is $8.99.
We buy display deep and hold it, which is why the price is what it is and why there is usually stock behind it.
Yes, and for display pieces you should. Colour, finish and scale never read the same on a screen. Come and put a platter on a riser and see it.
Usually. Display pieces run in the dozens and hundreds rather than ones and twos. Call ahead for anything over about twenty of one item and we will confirm and hold it.
Yes — cups, napkins, bags and boxes. Minimums apply and lead times run in weeks, so plan it well ahead of the season.
Full, half and third size, oblong take-out, dome lids and board lids, all by the case. That is everyday stock, not special order.
Order by 3:00 PM the day before your delivery day and it makes your next scheduled stop. Faster than that, come to the showroom — including Saturday morning.
No, we sell. For most caterers buying display pieces at these prices works out cheaper than renting them twice.
