Industrial catering for factories and GIDC units
Shift meals and canteen food for factories and plants in Ahmedabad’s GIDC estates and the Sanand, Changodar, Moraiya, Bavla and Kalol industrial belts, sourced from vendors vetted for food safety.
What does industrial catering through KhanePe include?
Industrial catering through KhanePe covers meals for factory shifts, canteen supply, festival meals for workers and food for plant events such as safety days and audits. Vendors quote on headcount per shift, shift timings, menu rotation and whether they cook on site, deliver to the canteen or supply packed meals.
Which industrial areas does KhanePe serve?
KhanePe serves Ahmedabad’s GIDC estates at Naroda, Odhav, Vatva and Kathwada, the Sarkhej–Changodar–Moraiya–Sanand–Bavla corridor, Kalol and Chhatral in Gandhinagar district, and the Thol estate. For distant belts such as Dholera, Vithalapur and Dahej, vendor availability is checked case by case.
How are food safety standards handled for factory canteens?
KhanePe works with vendors vetted for food safety: holders of FSSAI licences and, depending on the vendor, ISO 22000, HACCP, GMP and GHP practices and FoSTaC-trained supervisors. Many factories run their own audits too, and the requirement call captures any plant-specific rules, such as hairnets or segregated stores.
Which formats, cuisines and menus suit industrial catering?
For industrial catering, vendors most often quote fixed thali meals, bulk supply to a canteen and packed meals for shifts. Popular cuisines include Gujarati, Punjabi and North Indian and Kathiawadi, and the sample menus below give you a ready brief. Every quote states format, menu, staff and price, so the three options compare directly.
- Fixed thali meals
- Bulk supply to a canteen
- Packed meals for shifts

Frequently asked questions
Can KhanePe supply meals for three shifts?
Yes, if the vendor quoting can staff it. In the requirement call, share the start time and headcount for each shift, whether meals are served in a canteen or packed, and any night-shift needs. Vendors quote shift by shift, so you can compare the three quotes on exactly the same pattern.
Do you cater in Sanand GIDC and Changodar?
Yes. Sanand, Changodar, Moraiya and Bavla are part of the industrial corridor KhanePe covers, along with Sarkhej and Thol. Each of these towns has its own page on the site with local context. Vendors with kitchens on Ahmedabad’s south-west side are usually best placed for this belt.
What do industrial canteen meals usually include?
A typical factory meal is a fixed thali: dal, rice, one or two sabzis, rotis, salad and buttermilk or a sweet on some days. Menus rotate through the week to avoid repetition. The exact composition, portion sizes and price per meal are set by the vendor you confirm and written into the order.
Can the vendor cook inside our factory kitchen?
Some vendors cook on site using the factory’s kitchen, while others cook centrally and deliver. Share whether you have a kitchen, its equipment and gas or power supply in the requirement call. Vendors then quote the model they can run, and KhanePe flags the difference when it shortlists the three quotes.
How does KhanePe handle complaints about canteen food?
Feedback is part of every KhanePe order. For regular canteen contracts, issues are logged with the KhanePe team, who take them up with the vendor. Where the factory uses MealPe, meal counts and feedback are recorded digitally, which makes recurring problems, such as a weak dish or late delivery, easy to spot.
