About KhanePe
KhanePe is the RoomPe Group’s catering aggregator for Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar. It turns one requirement into the best three quotes from 100+ pre-vetted vendors, and keeps one team accountable from the first call to the invoice.
What is KhanePe?
KhanePe is a catering aggregator for Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar. Instead of cooking, it sources catering: you share one requirement, the team calls you, briefs 100+ pre-vetted vendors and forwards the best three quotes. You confirm one, and KhanePe coordinates preparations, payments, feedback and the invoice.
KhanePe has served more than 25 lakh meals and covers 100+ PIN codes, with 17 catering services, from corporate and industrial catering to parties, festivals and packed meals.

Why does KhanePe exist?
Finding a good caterer in Ahmedabad usually means calling several, comparing menus that do not match and hoping hygiene claims are true. KhanePe exists to remove that work: one brief, vendors vetted for food safety, three comparable quotes and one accountable team, informed by the group’s experience running hostel and cafeteria food.
- One brief instead of many calls
- Vendors vetted for FSSAI, ISO, HACCP, GMP/GHP or FoSTaC standards
- Three quotes in the same structure, so you compare like for like
- Payments tied to progress: 25%, 50%, 25%
- Feedback collected after every order

Is KhanePe a caterer or a platform?
KhanePe is a catering aggregator. It does not cook; it sources catering from 100+ pre-vetted vendors, shortlists the best three quotes for each requirement and manages the order until the event. The vendor you confirm cooks and serves, and KhanePe remains your single point of contact.
How does KhanePe vet its vendors?
Vendors are vetted for food safety before they can quote: they hold, or are vetted for, an FSSAI licence and, depending on the vendor, ISO 9001, ISO 22000, HACCP, GMP and GHP practices or FoSTaC training. Feedback collected after every order also shapes which vendors are shortlisted next time.
What is the connection between KhanePe and MealPe?
MealPe is KhanePe’s sister company in the RoomPe Group. It builds software for cafeterias and messes, covering menus, polls, feedback and digital meal counts. For daily catering contracts, MealPe’s tools help vendors cook to real numbers and give administrators a clear record of what was served.
How can catering vendors join KhanePe?
Catering brands can apply on the Partner with us page by sharing their FSSAI licence, certifications, cuisines, capacity and service areas. The KhanePe team reviews each application, checks food safety credentials and, once approved, starts sharing relevant customer requirements with the vendor.
