How do you organise this breakfast, from the order to 8 am?

1. The day before, before 2 pm: confirm the headcount, the address and the delivery time, with the contact on site.
2. From 6:30 am on the day: delivery is possible at the time you choose, before the team arrives.
3. On the table: mini pastries and madeleines self-service, juice and thermoses within reach, napkins and cups included.

What should you change for a hungrier or lighter team?

Add a 10% margin if guests may be added at the last minute: the 2 trays already deliver 60 mini pastries for the 40 needed. For a 30-minute team catch-up, 2 mini pastries and a coffee are enough; for a morning offsite, keep the sweet items and the fruit.

And for dietary requirements?

Pure butter mini pastries suit vegetarians. Fresh fruit skewers are vegan and gluten-free, and the gluten-free banana bread is €26.90 excl. VAT for 6 to 8 people. Tell us how many guests are concerned when you ask for a quote.
