How to choose a caterer for an office afternoon break

• The delivery time you choose. An afternoon break is delivered in the afternoon, at break time: check that the caterer delivers at the requested time and not within a wide slot.
• Pastries you can eat standing up, with no plate or knife: madeleines, cookies, choux, cakes already sliced.
• Variety: something chocolate, something fruity, fresh fruit. Our selection is in best pastries for an office afternoon break.
• The minimum and delivery. At L'Écrin, €50 excl. VAT of food and €29 excl. VAT delivery in Paris and nearby towns.
• Dietary needs: vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free on request, to be mentioned when ordering with the number of people concerned; the suitable portions are prepared separately and labelled.
• The invoice: quote within 24 hours, company invoice showing VAT.

Morning break or afternoon break?

The morning break, in the middle of a seminar or a training day, is more about pastries, madeleines and coffee: it gives a lift to a morning that started early. The 4 pm break relies on chocolate, cakes and fruit, with juice more than coffee. For a full day, order both breaks together with lunch: a single delivery in the morning if the products allow, or two drops depending on the time. Say so when ordering; the quote shows it line by line.

For a group in a training room, set the break on a separate table near the door, so that everyone can help themselves without crossing the room or interrupting the speaker.

Ideas by occasion

A team birthday, the end of a project, a training day: each occasion has its format. See office afternoon break: ideas and budget, 5 afternoon break ideas, homemade cakes, the office birthday afternoon break and, for a break built around madeleines, where to order madeleines for a meeting.
