Planner's guide
Best For: Sports events and stadium gatherings at St. Jakob-Park, corporate functions and conferences at St. Jakobshalle, large-scale public events requiring venue-integrated catering, multi-day festivals and tournaments
What planners usually like:
- Established relationships with venue management eliminates coordination friction—Wassermann operates directly from the venues, so logistics are streamlined
- Understanding of venue-specific requirements including kitchen access, service corridors, timing constraints, and capacity limitations that come with stadium/hall events
- Flexibility in adapting service models to diverse event scales, from intimate corporate dinners to large crowd catering for sporting events
Things to clarify before booking:
- Confirm whether pricing includes rentals (tables, chairs, linens, serving equipment) or if these are additional line items—this significantly impacts final budget
- Verify minimum guest counts or event size requirements, particularly for stadium events where setup costs may vary by scale
- Establish service timeline expectations, including setup duration, meal service windows, and breakdown time within venue operational schedules
- Ask about customization options for menus—whether they work from preset packages or accommodate specialized dietary requirements and cultural preferences
Common questions
Can Wassermann handle catering for events outside the St. Jakob venues?
While Wassermann operates from St. Jakob-Park and St. Jakobshalle as their home base, contact them directly at +41 61 201 08 45 to discuss off-site catering possibilities. Some venue-based caterers do provide external service, but availability and logistics vary. It's worth confirming whether they offer full-service catering for other Basel locations or focus exclusively on their stadium and hall venues.
What's the typical lead time needed for booking Wassermann Catering?
Lead times vary based on event size and complexity. For stadium events with multiple requirements, booking 4-8 weeks in advance is advisable. Contact them during business hours (Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–6:00 PM) to check availability for your specific date and discuss realistic planning timelines for your event type.
How do they handle catering for events with varying guest counts throughout the day?
Stadium and hall events often see fluctuating attendance (like half-time service at sports events). Discuss your expected guest flow when contacting Wassermann—they can advise on staffing models, food holding strategies, and service rotations that accommodate peak and off-peak periods without food waste.
Are beverages included in their catering packages, or are these separate?
Beverage pricing and inclusion varies by catering package. Some venues have strict beverage policies (particularly concerning alcohol), and Wassermann will need to coordinate with venue management. Always clarify whether soft drinks, coffee service, and alcoholic beverages are included or quoted separately.
What payment terms and cancellation policies should I expect?
Contact Wassermann directly for their specific payment schedule and cancellation terms. Typically, catering contracts require deposits upon booking and final payment 1-2 weeks before the event. Understanding their policy on date changes, reduced guest counts, and force majeure is essential before signing.
Can they accommodate dietary restrictions and specialized menu requests?
Most professional caterers offer flexibility with advance notice. When contacting Wassermann, mention any dietary needs (vegetarian, vegan, halal, kosher, gluten-free, allergies) to understand their capability and whether additional costs apply. The earlier you communicate special requirements, the better they can plan and source accordingly.
