Common questions

How far in advance do I need to book catering with KAPLAN&ME for a typical corporate event?

While advance notice requirements aren't publicly specified, it's practical to contact them at least 2-3 weeks before your event to secure your preferred date and allow time for menu consultation. For smaller or simpler events, they may accommodate shorter timelines—this is worth confirming during your initial consultation call.

Can I visit their café location to sample menu options before booking catering services?

Yes, their combined café and catering operation at Höninger Weg 99 is open Monday-Friday (8:30 AM–6:00 PM) and Saturday (10:00 AM–5:00 PM), making it feasible to visit in person, taste current offerings, and discuss custom catering options directly with their team.

Do they provide full catering setup services, or is it drop-off only?

This varies by event type and package. You'll need to contact them directly to clarify whether setup, service staff, equipment rental (tables, linens, serving pieces), and breakdown are included in their catering pricing or available as add-on services.

What's the typical price range for their catering services?

Pricing is quoted on a case-by-case basis depending on guest count, menu selection, service level, and event logistics. Request a formal quote through their website (https://www.kaplanandme.de/) or by contacting them during business hours to understand costs for your specific event.

Are they equipped to handle dietary restrictions and allergen concerns?

Most professional catering operations manage dietary needs, but KAPLAN&ME's specific protocols for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and allergen-free preparation should be confirmed directly before finalizing your menu to ensure proper handling and safety.

Can KAPLAN&ME cater events outside of the Zollstock neighborhood?

They serve organizers throughout Cologne according to their description, but delivery areas, travel fees, and any geographic limitations should be confirmed when you reach out. Some caterers in Cologne have service radius restrictions based on logistics and equipment transportation.
