Ordering and advice

How do I order?

There are three ways:

  • Ready-made package: Choose the number of guests and the event type, and get packages that fit you exactly.
  • Build your own: Choose trays from the menu by category, add them to the cart and complete the order on the site.

Trays and quantities

How do I know how much food to order?

For salads and hot trays the rule is simple: a 5-liter salad and an XL hot tray each serve up to 15 guests, and a 2.7-liter salad or an L hot tray each serve up to 8. Not sure? Choose the number of guests and we will suggest a ready-made package.

How many hospitality trays do I need for 30 guests?
