A corporate caterer with published prices: know your budget before you ask for a quote

An office manager often has to give a budget before having a quote. At L'Écrin Traiteur, prices excluding VAT are published on the prices page and on every product page. You work out the budget yourself, have it approved, then ask for the quote. The quote uses the menu prices and arrives within 24 hours.

How much does each service cost at L'Écrin Traiteur?

The minimum order is €50 excl. VAT (products only), with no minimum number of people. Savoury food is halal and pork-free, at the same price. Drinks for cocktail receptions are à la carte.

How much does a company meal cost for 10, 20 or 50 people?

Three examples, €29 excl. VAT delivery included, worked out with the menu prices. The lunch tray is counted at the vegetarian price, the cocktail reception as La Réception (12 canapés), drinks not included.

To adjust quantities to your headcount, use the quantity calculator. With reusable tableware or thermoses to collect, the delivery line becomes €39 excl. VAT in Paris, the 92 and the 94.

What does a published price change for an office manager?

• The budget is known before the quote. Multiply the headcount by the price per person and add delivery.
• Internal approval is quicker. The amount shown to management is the menu price, not an estimate.
• The quote holds no surprises. It uses the same prices and only adds what depends on your event: delivery, collection, service, hire.
• The price per person does not depend on the headcount. A team of 8 pays the same price per person as a team of 80: see catering for small teams.

To have a budget approved without ordering, the basket on the website produces a quote to sign later: see what L'Écrin Traiteur provides for procurement teams.

What remains on quote, and why?

• Large events with service: maîtres d'hôtel, hard tableware, glassware, table linen, furniture or flowers. The number of staff and the equipment depend on the venue and the running order.
• Live food stations: the starting price is €600 excl. VAT; the quote depends on the number of guests and the set-up at your venue.
• Festive items and personalisation: galettes des rois, madeleines in your colours. They depend on quantities and the calendar.
• Deliveries outside Paris and nearby towns: priced according to distance.

In every case, the quote arrives within 24 hours of the quote request.

What is behind the prices?

Prices do not say everything. L'Écrin Traiteur delivers with its own team from 6:30 am, at the time you set (how a delivery works), and the website is available in English for international teams (an English-speaking caterer). More than 100 companies have trusted us with their meals, more than 10,000 people have been served, and our rating is 5.0/5 on Google (32 reviews).

Ordering deadlines: 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. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are stated in the quote.
