Frequently asked questions
What types of catering does KhanePe provide?
KhanePe provides corporate, office, industrial, institutional, school, hospital, hostel and PG catering; seminar, workshop, expo and trade show catering; party, celebration and festival catering; and buffet, packed meal, fixed meal and bulk formats, plus outdoor, indoor and daily meal contracts, across Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar.
Does KhanePe cook the food itself?
No. KhanePe is a catering aggregator. It shares your requirement with 100+ pre-vetted vendors, shortlists the best three quotes and coordinates the order until the event. The vendor you choose cooks and serves, while KhanePe remains your single point of contact for planning, payments and feedback.
How much notice does KhanePe need?
At least one week for any new order. That window lets the team call you, brief vendors, shortlist three quotes and give you time to confirm, then reconfirm preparations three days before the event. For festivals and large events, booking two to four weeks ahead gives the widest choice.
Can one order combine several services?
Yes. A full-day conference, for example, can include breakfast, packed lunches for staff, a buffet for guests and evening high-tea. Share everything in one brief; KhanePe can source one vendor or several, and still give you one point of contact and one invoice.
Which areas do KhanePe’s services cover?
All services cover Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar: 130 localities including Gandhinagar’s 30 sectors, plus 11 cities such as GIFT City, Sanand, Changodar, Kalol and Dholera. For distant towns such as Dahej, vendor availability is confirmed case by case before quotes are sent.
How is pricing set for catering services?
Vendors set prices per plate, per meal or per box, depending on the service and format. KhanePe shortlists the best three quotes and shows what each includes (menu, staff, crockery and delivery), so you can compare like for like before paying 25% to confirm.
One brief. Three vetted quotes. Book at least a week ahead.
