Caterer for hotels and restaurants: seminars, group breakfasts and kitchen back-up

Your group arrives at 9 am. At 8:15, breakfast is delivered, ready to put down in the room: your team welcomes its guests instead of running to the kitchen. A hotel or a restaurant can hand to a delivery caterer what its kitchen cannot absorb on a busy day: a seminar group's breakfast, the welcome coffee of a meeting room with no kitchen, the lunch boxes of a training day, a back-up cocktail. At L'Écrin Traiteur, delivery starts from 6:30 am, Monday to Friday, and you can order until 10 am the day before. If you would like to present our products under your own name (white label), it is possible: say so in your quote request, with the products concerned, the labelling you want, the volumes and the timing. We look at each request case by case.

When does a hotel or a restaurant call on an outside caterer?

• A seminar group: a meeting room hired by the hour, with no kitchen, a welcome coffee at 8:30 am and lunch in the room.
• A group breakfast that exceeds the capacity of the usual buffet, or that starts before the service opens.
• A peak day: a private event, a wedding or a cocktail that takes the whole brigade.
• A request outside the menu: lunch trays to take away, lunch boxes for a group leaving on a visit or a training course.
• A menu to complete: pastries, madeleines or cakes that you do not make yourself.

What L'Écrin Traiteur can deliver

The full breakfast is quoted on request. On savoury formats, everything is halal and pork-free, with no alcohol; vegetarian options are in the catalogue, and vegan and gluten-free are stated in the quote.

How an order works

• Quote within 24 hours, from the quote request: date, address, headcount, formats and dietary needs.
• Order until 10 am the day before for a breakfast, an afternoon break, drinks or lunch boxes; 48 hours ahead for cocktail receptions, lunch trays, buffets, aperitif platters and fruit skewers, whatever the headcount.
• Delivery by the L'Écrin team, from 6:30 am Monday to Friday, €29 excl. VAT per delivery in Paris and nearby towns. The order is placed where it will be served: give the room name, the set-up time and a contact at reception.
• Minimum order €50 excl. VAT of products, with no minimum number of guests; company invoice with VAT.
• Allergens: a table is attached to the quote and the delivery note, so your team can inform your guests. See the allergen obligations.

Tableware, table linen and service

Disposable cups, napkins and cutlery are provided at no extra charge. If you prefer your establishment's tableware, or porcelain, hard tableware, glassware and table linen are hired on quote, with delivery and collection of the equipment at €39 excl. VAT in Paris, the Hauts-de-Seine and the Val-de-Marne. A maître d'hôtel is possible on request: €250 excl. VAT for a 6-hour service (how many to plan). See also hiring reception equipment and disposable or reusable: what the law says.

White label: presenting our products under your name

If you would like to present our products under your own name (white label), it is possible: say so in your quote request, with the products concerned, the labelling you want, the volumes and the timing. We look at each request case by case. Quantities, timing and presentation are set in the quote, product by product.

What to state in the request

• the date, the delivery time and the address, with the room name and a reachable contact;
• the confirmed headcount and the formats you want (breakfast, break, lunch boxes, cocktail);
• dietary needs and allergies, with the number of people concerned;
• disposable or hard tableware, and whether you want a maître d'hôtel;
• for white label: the products, the labelling and the volumes.
