Corporate catering delivery from 6:30 am in Paris: our own team, at the time you set
Who delivers, at what time, how the order arrives, what is collected after the event: L'Écrin Traiteur's delivery explained step by step.
A meeting starts at 8:30 am. Breakfast has to be there before the first people arrive. At L'Écrin Traiteur, delivery starts from 6:30 am, Monday to Friday, and it is made by our own team, at the time you set. Here is how it works, from the order to the collection of equipment.
Who delivers the order?
Our team, trained to our standards. It loads the order, drops it off on site and comes back to collect equipment when there is any. When you order, give the room name, the set-up time and a contact reachable at reception: the order is placed where it will be served.
How do you choose the delivery time?
You set the start and the end of your slot yourself. It lasts 30 minutes at least; you can widen it if your schedule allows. For an 8:30 am meeting, a 7:30 to 8:00 am slot leaves time to put everything out.
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| The order | Until 10 am the day before for breakfast, afternoon snacks, breaks, drinks and lunch boxes; 48 hours ahead for cocktail receptions, lunch trays, buffets, sharing platters and fruit skewers. |
| The slot | Chosen by you, 30 minutes at least, from 6:30 am, Monday to Friday. |
| The delivery | By our team, order set out and ready to serve, with cups, napkins, sugar and stirrers. |
| The presentation | Wooden boards, reusable tableware or zero disposables, requested in the quote. |
| The collection | Reusable tableware and thermoses collected by our team, counted out and counted back. |
| The price | €29 excl. VAT in Paris and nearby towns; €39 excl. VAT with collection, in Paris, the 92 and the 94. |
How does the order arrive?
Set out and ready to serve. Cups, napkins, sugar and stirrers are provided. Setting up is possible on request; for table service or a served cocktail reception, a maître d'hôtel costs €250 excl. VAT for 6 hours.
The presentation is chosen in the quote: wooden boards, reusable tableware or zero disposables. The instruction is written on the quote and on the preparation slip, and it follows the order through to delivery. See disposable or reusable: what the law says.
What happens to the tableware after the event?
Our team collects the reusable tableware, the wooden boards and the thermoses. It counts them out and counts them back. Delivery and collection come to €39 excl. VAT on a single line in Paris, the Hauts-de-Seine and the Val-de-Marne; elsewhere, it is the zone delivery price plus €19 excl. VAT.
How long does the coffee stay hot?
Organic coffee and tea arrive in 1-litre thermoses. They stay hot for 6 hours, even 8 hours after delivery. We count one thermos for 6 people: 4 of coffee for 1 of tea. A breakfast delivered at 7:30 am keeps its coffee hot all morning. See how long coffee stays hot in a thermos.
Which areas are delivered?
Paris and the Île-de-France region. Delivery costs €29 excl. VAT in Paris and nearby towns; areas further away are priced on quote. There is no minimum number of people, only a minimum order of €50 excl. VAT (products only): see catering for small teams.
What should you give us when you order?
- The exact address, the floor and access conditions.
- The room name and the start time of the event.
- A contact on site, with a mobile number.
- The presentation you want: disposable, wooden boards or reusable tableware.
