Planner's guide

Best For: Corporate lunch meetings and business events, Private dinner parties and celebrations, Conference catering and multi-day events, Community gatherings and association functions

What planners usually like:

  • Direct communication with the catering team allows for customization based on specific dietary requirements and event themes
  • Weekday availability (Monday-Friday) makes them reliable for professional events and corporate functions that often require midweek scheduling
  • Local Lyon-based vendor means shorter delivery times, fresher ingredients, and familiarity with local venue layouts and logistics
  • Flexible approach to understanding client needs rather than rigid preset packages, which can accommodate varying budgets and event sizes

Things to clarify before booking:

  • Confirm whether they provide equipment rentals (tables, chairs, linens, serving pieces) or if these must be sourced separately through other vendors
  • Ask about their minimum guest count requirements and whether they handle small intimate gatherings the same as large-scale events
  • Verify their cancellation policy and how far in advance deposits are required, especially for weekend events (given their weekday operating hours)
  • Request details on staffing options—do they provide serving staff, bartenders, and kitchen support or is this an additional cost beyond food pricing?

Common questions

Does Platto handle events outside of their standard Monday-Friday business hours?

Platto operates Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and is closed weekends. For Saturday or Sunday events, you'll need to contact them directly at +33 6 25 67 07 08 to discuss potential availability or recommend alternative providers. Some catering services make weekend exceptions for established clients, so early outreach is important.

What types of menus or cuisines does Platto specialize in?

While their description emphasizes food and beverage solutions for various events, specific menu details and cuisine specialties aren't outlined in their standard information. Contact them via their website (https://www.platto.fr/) or phone to review their current menu offerings, dietary accommodations, and any signature dishes or regional specialties they feature.

How do I get an accurate quote from Platto?

Platto uses a "contact for pricing" model, meaning you'll need to reach out directly with your event details—guest count, date, dietary requirements, and venue—to receive a customized proposal. Call +33 6 25 67 07 08 or submit details through their website; having this information ready will speed up the quoting process.

Are they able to accommodate dietary restrictions and allergies?

While the vendor description emphasizes understanding client needs and preferences, you should explicitly discuss any dietary restrictions (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, religious requirements, allergies) when requesting a quote. Ask them to confirm their ability to safely prepare and label allergen-free dishes and their kitchen protocols.

What's the typical lead time needed to book Platto for an event?

This isn't specified in their standard information. Contact them directly to ask about their typical booking timeline, whether they accept last-minute events, and how far in advance they recommend booking for your specific event date and guest count. Weekday events may have shorter turnaround times than peak-demand periods.

Can Platto handle beverage service, or do I need a separate bar/beverage vendor?

Their description mentions "food and beverage solutions," suggesting they handle drinks, but the extent of their beverage service (soft drinks only, alcoholic beverages, premium bar packages) isn't detailed. Clarify whether they provide wine, beer, cocktails, or if you need to license your own alcohol and they simply serve it.
