Coffee and tea
Still and sparkling water
Optional: Selected soft drinks

This package is per person per day and is especially suitable for all-day events.
Coffee/Tea Break with Snacks
For an energy boost, our coffee break is a popular addition.

The tea/coffee break is scheduled to fit your program – for example, in the morning, afternoon, or both in combination with the beverage package.
Lunch Buffet
For longer events, we also organize lunch or dinner that suits your program and group. Depending on the format, options include varied buffets, light finger food, or set lunch menus. This allows your participants to recharge during breaks and start the next session refreshed and ready to go. A finger food buffet might include, for example, a selection of wraps and bagels with various toppings, omnivorous and vegetarian skewers, hummus pralines, marinated chicken breast, prunes wrapped in bacon, grilled vegetables, and shrimp skewers.
We also offer mouth-watering omnivorous or vegetarian dishes from our daily menu, such as pasta dishes or Thai curry with delicious vegetables. A crisp salad mix and a variety of desserts are also available. We`ll be happy to send you our catering brochure with all the current information and prices.

FAQ: Catering, Equipment, Services
What kind of equipment and accessories can I rent for my event?

A moderator's kit with cards, markers, sticky notes, and other materials
Flipcharts with paper and pens
Metaplan boards/pinboards for visualizations, clustering, and group work
Whiteboards or additional writing surfaces
Presentation equipment such as presenters and timers
Just let us know how you plan to work when you make your inquiry – we'll put together the right equipment for you and prepare everything in the room in advance.
Can I customize the catering for my event?
Yes, the packages mentioned are suggestions and a good starting point. If you have specific dietary requirements (e.g., lactose- or gluten-free), organic ingredients, a focus on vegetarian or vegan options, or a special format like a tasting, we'll tailor the offer together. Simply share your ideas with us – we'll suggest suitable options and incorporate them into the quote.
From what number of people does a beverage package become worthwhile?
The beverage package is calculated per person and is generally worthwhile for full-day events. It's convenient for conferences, training sessions, and workshops to have drinks available throughout the event. For shorter events or small meetings, we'll discuss whether a customized solution would be cheaper and advise you accordingly.
Do you offer vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes, of course! Many items in our standard menu are available in vegetarian and vegan versions. If you prefer, we can also cater for a completely vegetarian or vegan meal. It's important that you let us know your preferences in advance so we can plan accordingly and clearly mark any vegetarian or vegan options if it`s a mixed buffet.
Do you offer certified organic food and dishes?
Yes, our milk and fruit are always certified organic. Upon request, we can include other certified organic food items and dishes in your catering. When you inquire, please let us know how important organic ingredients are to you and if you have specific products or components in mind. We will then review the options with our partners and propose a suitable solution, which we will clearly outline in our offer.
Do you accommodate special dietary requirements, allergies, and intolerances?
Yes, of course we cater to special dietary needs, such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or lactose-free. Please inform us of any special requirements as early as possible so we can plan accordingly. The more precise your information, the better we can offer alternatives and clearly label dishes.
Are we allowed to bring our own food?
You can bring your own catering if you prefer. However, since this also incurs costs for us – for coordination, providing space, tableware, logistics, and waste disposal – we charge a flat fee.
Simply tell us how you envision the cost split between your own catering and our services. We will then discuss together which services we will provide and what the flat fee will be in your specific case.
How flexible are you with last-minute changes to the catering?
We try to accommodate all adjustments as much as possible – for example, changes in the number of participants or additional dietary requirements. However, the closer the event date gets, the more limited our options become. Therefore, please inform us of any changes as early as possible so we can work together to find a practical solution and clearly explain what is still feasible.
